In this Paisa Vasool episode we review They Call Him OG — a stylish, elevation-driven Pawan Kalyan vehicle from director Sujeeth. We cover what works (music, mood, a slick Japanese/Yakuza flavor, a few standout set-pieces) and what doesn’t (a thin plot, limited Pawan screen time, an “unstoppable” hero with low stakes, and a villain who never feels dangerous). We also discuss how scheduling/production constraints shaped the film, compare it with this year’s big Telugu releases, and look at Sujeeth’s next move.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2njQOUIPb1w Hosts: Sravan & Tarun Email: CognitiveRecalibrationPodcast@gmail.com Follow: @PaisaVasool on Instagram, TikTok & YouTubeTimestamps:00:24 Intro & title nitpick (OG vs “They Call Him OG”)04:47 First reactions: “Didn’t really like it.”07:05 Positives: Thaman’s score, cinematography, Japanese flavor09:42 Elevation-first cinema & why it feels thin10:35 The “unstoppable hero” problem; weak villain threat13:19 Sujeeth vs constraints (availability, rewrites)14:31 Where it ranks vs recent biggies19:29 Spoilers: loose Saaho link, sequel/prequel chatter21:58 The Japan angle we actually wanted25:47 Sound mix gripe: turned up to 1131:04 Verdict test: would non-Indians think it’s good?The equipment we use:Rode Podmic: https://amzn.to/2LSeJPbRodecaster Pro: https://amzn.to/3bLykLPRode PSA1 Boom Arm: https://amzn.to/2M0ujIpXLR Cables: https://amzn.to/38QTEOgåIf you want to support this podcast so we can keep producing our content for free consider the following options:Amazon Affiliate Link: https://amzn.to/3gjnw87åBuy us a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/CRecalibrationAcast Supporter: https://supporter.acast.com/cognitive-recalibrationIf you enjoy our content, don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode.
