'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' box office collection day 9: Pawan Kalyan starrer collects Rs 28 lakh on second Friday
Pawan Kalyan's much-hyped period action drama 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Swords vs Spirit' has been facing a poor reception at the box office. The movie's momentum seems to have faded after a promising start.
As per early estimates by trade analyst Sacnilk, the film managed to collect only Rs 28 lakh on its ninth day, marking its lowest single-day figure so far.
Box office trends
The film, which hit theatres on July 24, opened to massive expectations, especially with Pawan Kalyan taking on a full-fledged period role and the makers branding it as his first pan-Indian film. While the opening weekend brought in decent numbers, the collection has steadily declined since the weekdays began.
In the first week, the movie opened powerfully with Rs 34.75 crore on day 1, but sharp drops followed. Collections slumped to Rs 8 crore on the second day and fluctuated around Rs 9-10 crore through the weekend before falling further during weekdays.
The total earnings for the first week stood at Rs 80.86 crore, but the second week hasn't seen much traction.
The film's current India total stands at a little over Rs 81 crore, and is also facing competition from other big releases like

Dhadak 2 Box Office Collection Day 2: Triptii Dimri's movie fails to capture audience despite good reviews, mints...
Dhadak 2 Box Office Collection Day 2: Despite glowing reviews, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's starrer Dhadak 2 has failed to capture the audience. Released on Friday, August 1, the movie faced fierce competition from Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2 and the blockbuster hit Saiyaara. This seems to have affected the box office collection of Dhadak 2. Dhadak 2 is a follow-up to the 2018 Dhadak. It is a remake of filmmaker Mari Selvaraj's 2018 Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Dhadak 2 fell short of expectations. Opening at a meagre ₹ 3.5 crore, the movie could not improve its numbers on Saturday either. On day 2, Dhadak 2 earned ₹ 3.75 crore, taking its 2-day total to ₹ 7.25 crore. Son of Sardaar 2 is currently leading at the Indian box office with almost double the earnings. Its opening day collection stood at ₹ 7.5 crore, and it earned the same on Saturday, day 2. SOS 2's two-day collection stands at ₹ 14.75 crore. Dhadak 2 had an overall 25.81% Hindi occupancy on Saturday Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi NCR and Lucknow emerged as top contributors in terms of occupancy. Hindustan Times said Dhadak 2 carries a powerful message but fumbles with its storytelling. 'It wants to speak about caste, oppression, and systemic injustice- and when it does, it hits the right notes. But it's weighed down by an uneven narrative and an overstretched runtime.' 'This could have been a hard-hitting social drama. Instead, it settles for moments of brilliance buried under a ton of missed opportunities,' they added. Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh gave Dhadak 2 a 3.5 star rating and said, 'Sharp writing. Captivating, emotionally-charged second half... Solid performances. Dhadak2 works for the most part... But the love story lacks the soul-stirring soundtrack that elevated the first part.' He said that the first half feels uneven, 'a few impactful moments aside, the narrative takes time to find its footing… But the interval episode turns the tide, setting the stage for a gripping and emotionally charged second half.' IMDb describes Dhadak 2, directed by Shazia Iqbal, as 'A searing romantic drama about identity, power, and the cost of love in the world we live in.' The movie stars Saad Bilgrami, Manjiri Pupala, Richa, Vipin Sharma, Deeksha Joshi, Mayank Khanna, Aditya Thakare, Shantanu Pandey, Bala, Priyank Tiwari, Ashwant Lodhi and Amit Jaat in key roles.

Watch: Hilarious! Ravindra Jadeja asks England spectator to change t-shirt during IND vs ENG 5th Test
Ravindra Jadeja ask England crowd to change t-shirt (Screengrab/AP) Cricket fans at The Oval witnessed a lighthearted moment on Day 3 of the fifth and final Test between India and England when Ravindra Jadeja politely asked a spectator to change his t-shirt mid-match. The moment unfolded while Jadeja was batting, only to be distracted by a fan seated behind the bowler's arm wearing a bright red t-shirt. The colour seemed to interfere with Jadeja's sightline, a common issue for players when trying to focus on the ball coming out of the bowler's hand. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Rather than create a scene, Jadeja simply informed the on-field umpire about the problem. After security personnel and match officials approached the individual, he eventually agreed to change his t-shirt. Instead of moving, the spectator gamely switched into a grey t-shirt right then and there, drawing cheers from the crowd. Watch: Jadeja gave him a thumbs-up and a grin, diffusing the situation with trademark charm. The incident, caught on camera, quickly went viral, with social media hailing it as yet another reason to love Jadeja's on-field personality. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

Yashasvi Jaiswal starred with a composed 118, while Akash Deep impressed with a maiden Test fifty, scoring 66 and adding crucial lower-order runs. Washington Sundar provided a late-innings blitz, including three sixes in five balls, propelling India to a second-innings total of 396. England's response began steadily, with Crawley and Duckett putting up a 50-run stand. But Mohammed Siraj broke through on the final ball of the day, clean bowling Crawley for 14 with a deadly yorker. At stumps, England were 50/1, needing another 324 runs for victory with two days to go—an uphill battle against a confident Indian side. But amidst the serious contest, Jadeja's fan interaction was a timely reminder of the joy cricket can bring. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

Kerala Rolls Out Draft Film Policy Aimed At Funding, Gender Equality And Global Reach
Last Updated: Kerala's draft film policy aims to formalise the industry, enhance global presence, and promote inclusivity. It includes financial mechanisms, gender equity, and tech adoption. In a significant step towards transforming its film sector, the Kerala government has released a comprehensive draft film policy aimed at formalising the industry, enhancing its global footprint, and promoting inclusivity. The policy was unveiled on Saturday during the ongoing two-day Malayalam Film Conclave in Thiruvananthapuram. Framed with a futuristic vision, the policy outlines strategic goals including industry recognition for film production and exhibition, improved financial mechanisms, gender equity, and the adoption of advanced technology. It also aspires to make Kerala a regional production hub while preserving the cultural legacy of Malayalam cinema. Declaring that film production will now be recognised as a formal industry, the draft underlines the benefits of transparency, financial clarity, and social accountability. 'The recognition of film production as an industry will bring multiple advantages, enhancing transparency and promoting social responsibility within the sector," the policy notes. One of the cornerstones of the policy is an inclusive financing framework. It proposes a general incentive scheme for Malayalam cinema, with targeted support for women and marginalised communities. Plans are also in place to establish a venture capital fund for film production, with the involvement of private players and provisions for crowdfunding, especially for films with strong social relevance. This fund will be managed by the Kerala State Film Development Corporation. To ensure Kerala remains competitive on the global stage, the policy encourages the production of films in other Indian and foreign languages within the state. A single-window film facilitation centre will also be launched to simplify permit procedures and attract more projects to the region. The policy highlights that India, producing over 2,000 films annually, remains the world's largest film-producing nation. Malayalam cinema ranks second after Hindi, with around 300 films produced each year. In 2023, Kerala contributed over ₹2,000 crore to the national box office, reflecting its significant role in India's cinematic economy. A new Film Development Council, led by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and co-chaired by Culture Minister Saji Cherian, is proposed as the apex body to guide implementation. The council will also include an industry representative as vice-chairperson. The draft has been circulated to stakeholders and will be deliberated further during the conclave, which concludes on Sunday. The government reiterated its commitment to consulting film bodies on matters such as fair wages, insurance, and working conditions, ensuring that reforms benefit every layer of the industry. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
