'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' box office collection day 9: Pawan Kalyan starrer collects Rs 28 lakh on second Friday
Picture Credit: X 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 Vijay Deverakonda 's 'Kingdom'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Pieces of Clothing Older Women should Avoid Learn More Undo About the film Directed by Jyothi Krishna and Krish Jagarlamudi, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is set in the Mughal era and tells the story of a fictional character which is an outlaw Veera Mallu, played by Pawan Kalyan, who takes on the oppressive regime.

CM Punk Weighs In On Dricus Du Plessis vs. Khamzat Chimaev: 'It'll Look Like...'
Last Updated: Punk discussed the middleweight clash between Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev on August 16 in Chicago. Punk, a Chicago native, may attend with Belal Muhammed. WWE Superstar CM Punk recently weighed in on the much-anticipated middleweight clash between Dricus du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev that is set to take place on August 16 at the United Centre in Chicago, Illinois, United States. The UFC returns to the Windy City after a six-year absence, and therefore it is natural of the Chicago-born Punk to have a vested interest in the event. Punk himself has fought for the promotion on two occasions. However, to call his performances lacklustre would be an understatement, as he got utterly dominated and battered by his opponents. Regardless, his celebrity status as one of the biggest names to cross-over, alongside Brock Lesnar, who enjoyed much greater success inside the octagon, is undisputed. He has also stated that he might even make an appearance at the pay-per-view. 'I'm very excited, I'm probably ultimately going to be very disappointed too because I don't know if I can go to the show, I've got to look at my calendar," Punk told Daniel Cormier and Chael Sonnen on the recent episode of their collaborative show, Good Guy/Bad Guy. Dissecting the fight, he remarked, 'That's going to be a wild main event, man. That's going to be (wild). It's so hard to bet against Chimaev, you know, especially after what he did to (Robert) Whittaker but I think Dricus is really really smart, probably smarter than a lot of people give him credit for. 'He knows what his game plan is going to be, he knows Chimaev is gonna come and try to dive on an ankle right out of the gate so I'm sure he's doing his preparation, that's what's going to make this so fascinating. 'I don't know if I see this making five rounds and if it does, we're probably gonna have two very tired fighters and it'll look like Derrick Lewis vs (Francis) Ngannou," Punk said. CM Punk With Belal Muhammed? Punk, continuing on the podcast stated that he might make his appearance, sharing the spotlight with the former UFC welterweight champion, Belal Muhammed. 'Brother, I'm so busy, like it's absolutely insane. I know we're in Europe for a big chunk of August but I don't think it's until the last week of August so I've got to double check. Hopefully I'll be there, I'm gonna sit next to my bud Belal," Punk added. view comments First Published: August 02, 2025, 10:09 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
