Hari Hara Veera Mallu box office collection day 6: Expectations were high from Pawan Kalyan's historical epic film Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which released in theatres after several delays on July 24. However, the response has been mixed so far, with many pointing out the poor VFX and weak script of the film. Has the film shown growth over the weekdays after all? The latest update on Sacnilk have pointed out no such good news for the makers as the film saw yet another dip. (Also read: Kangana Ranaut reacts to Pawan Kalyan calling her 'stronger' actor than Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra) Hari Hara Veera Mallu box office collection day 6: Pawan Kalyan-starrer was criticised for its shoddy VFX and storyline. Hari Hara Veera Mallu box office trends The report stated that Hari Hara Veera Mallu collected ₹ 1.34 crore, as per early estimates, on Tuesday. It is the lowest single-day collection for the film so far. The film's highest single-day collection still remains its opening day numbers at ₹ 34.75 crore. Over the weekend, there was no significant growth as the film saw a dip in collections, and Sunday's figure stood at ₹10.6 crore. The total collections of the film as of Tuesday are at ₹78.69 crore. About the film Hari Hara Veera Mallu revolves around an outlaw named Veera Mallu (Pawan) heading to Delhi from Golconda in search of the Koh-i-Noor, though he also has an ulterior motive for going there. Ruling from the Lal Qila (Red Fort) is Aurangzeb (Bobby), who would like nothing more than to bend the country to his will. The first part ends by teasing a face-off between the two and revealing the title of the sequel. Hari Hara Veera Mallu is partly directed by Krish, but AM Rathnam's son, filmmaker Jyothi Krisna, took over the project after Krish walked out. Jyothi addressed the trolling that the film has received ever since its release in an interview with ABN, and said: 'Anyone will troll only those who are in the limelight… There are 4400 shots in the film that required CGI. I knew in my heart that a few shots weren't up to par, but it wasn't something huge. We needed to hold special premieres for which tickets were sold out, and they turned that minor issue into something major.'

Bharatanatyam can be just as grand as a Broadway show: Roopa P Doraswamy
Paschimavahini Krishna is a large-scale dance-theatre production based on the sthala purana of a temple in Srirangapatna. Produced by Roopa P Doraswamy, a former international corporate lawyer turned performing arts producer, the show blends Bharatanatyam, Sanskrit chants, Kannada poetry, and aerial choreography. 'Progressing from law to the arts was and easy' Roopa's shift from law to classical dance production was easy. 'Dance has always been a part of my life. I did my arangetram at ten. Even while practising law, I kept coming back to class or supporting small shows.' After producing a major show earlier this year, something inside her clicked, bringing her back to dance. 'There is no rule that says Bharatanatyam can't be grand' 'Even as a child, I was drawn to the drama of festivals and dance-dramas. Watching Broadway musicals abroad made me wonder why Bharatanatyam can't have that scale?' Though her latest production uses theatrical elements, the movement remains rooted in tradition.'That's my training and our choreographer's strength,' she shares. Many of our dancers are engineers or architects who've found a second calling in dance. I've spent decades in the corporate world myself. Bengaluru allows artistes for that duality - Roopa P Doraswamy 'Language is no barrier in the arts' The production incorporates Kannada, Sanskrit, and Tamil, while being anchored in Kannada.'Our scriptwriter and composer are from Mysuru. Kannada flowed naturally because the story belongs here.' Tamil reflects the Srivaishnavite connection, and Sanskrit appears in chants. English narration adds accessibility. 'When everything you don't need translation,' she adds. 'Technology helps in enhancing the story' From AI-generated visuals to immersive light design, the production uses technology with precision. 'We were clear from the start: dance comes first. If the movement doesn't connect, no amount of visuals can rescue it. Technology fills narrative gaps. When we can't enact something live, we use visuals. It sets the mood, builds the atmosphere, but the artist remains at the centre', explains Roopa.
