Hari Hara Veera Mallu box office collection Day 1: Pawan Kalyan-starrer earns Rs 44.2 crore despite mediocre reactions, falls short of Ram Charan's Game Changer
Hari Hara Veera Mallu box office collection Day 1: After many delays, the Pawan Kalyan-starrer Hari Hara Veera Mallu was released in the theatres on Thursday. While the audience's reactions to the film haven't been positive, it has had a strong opening at the box office. The film earned Rs 12.7 crore via previews on Wednesday, and on the release day, it earned Rs 31.5 crore, taking the nett domestic opening figure to Rs 44.2 crore, as per industry tracker Sacnilk. Pawan Kalyan's film hasn't received promising reviews but on the first day, it witnessed approximately 57 percent occupancy in Telugu-speaking regions. In Hyderabad, the film had around 1000 shows with almost 66 percent occupancy. Bengaluru saw around 560 shows with approximately 38 percent occupancy and in Visakhapatnam, there were around 364 shows with approximately 63 percent occupancy. It also released in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada but had very few shows in these languages. While the opening numbers sound quite promising, Pawan Kalyan's last three films had similar figures on their respective opening days but all of them crashed shortly afterwards. His 2023 film Bro opened at Rs 30 crore but could only make Rs 83 crore at the domestic box office. His 2022 release Bheemla Nayak opened at Rs 37.15 crore and finished its theatrical run at Rs 112 crore. And his 2021 release, Vakeel Saab, opened at Rs 40 crore but managed to make Rs 109 crore in the domestic market. With the mediocre reviews that Hari Hara Veera Mallu has received, it looks like the film's collections might experience a dip sooner than expected.
