Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu to post 2025's 2nd-biggest opening?
Early estimates suggest the movie could open as Tollywood's second-highest grosser of 2025, behind only Ram Charan's Game Changer.
Hari Hara Veera Mallu Box Office Collection Day 1
The teaser for the movie has already had a significant impact on social media, and fans' excitement is evident. However, according to Koimoi, the movie will still fall well short of Vakeel Saab, which brought in Rs 40.1 crores on opening day. Despite its massive budget reportedly exceeding ₹300 crore, early projections suggest a relatively underwhelming day 1 collection at the Indian box office, raising concerns about the film's initial reception.
According to estimates, Hari Hara Veera Mallu would have the second-largest opening for Tollywood in 2025. Except Ram Charan's Game Changer, which opened at a whopping 54 crore, this movie is likely going to surpass every Telugu film released this year. The Pawan Kalyan film is anticipated to surpass the first-day earnings of Kuberaa (14.75 crores), Sankranthiki Vasthunam (23 crores), Daaku Maharaaj (25.35 crores), and HIT: The Third Case (21 crores).
About Hari Hara Veera Mallu cast and plot
The upcoming Telugu-language period action-adventure movie 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu': Part 1 – Sword vs. Spirit is set in the Mughal Empire of the 17th century. The film is directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and A.M. Jyothi Krishna, while the screenplay was written by Jagarlamudi and Sai Madhav Burra.

After years of production, the movie recently obtained a UA certificate after passing the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) process. It takes two hours and forty-two minutes to complete. No significant changes or cuts have been requested by the board.

'If someone is...': What Smriti Irani said on Bollywood's 'silence' on Op Sindoor
Former Union Minister Smriti Irani has advised people to "not watch" actors if they are offended at their "lack of support" to Operation Sindoor, India's military operation against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and POK, launched on May 7. BJP leader Smriti Irani (ANI) In a TV interview, the politician was asked about chatter around Bollywood's muffled response to the operation that India launched a fortnight after 26 civilians were killed in a deadly terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam. 'If someone is not with the country, and their lack of support offends you, then don't watch them,' she was quoted as saying by an India Today report. 'How can you express your anger (against their silence) as an ordinary citizen? By tunning off," the publication further quoted Irani. The former MP also asserted that if an actor did not support the Army, it did not mean that no one else did. She said the entire country stood with its forces. She also said that India no longer waits for an actor to break silence on an issue and say 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'. "The country has been made aware of these realities," she asserted. Her interview came ahead of her return to television screens again after years in the reboot of popular show 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi', in which she will be playing the character of Tulsi Virani. Smriti Irani's remarks came over two months after India and Pakistan got engaged in a military conflict, triggered by Pakistan's targeting of air bases in India. The Indian armed forces said that Pakistan incurred heavy losses, with significant damage to its military infrastructure, including land and air assets. While some actors did heap praise on Operation Sindoor, there was chatter online that Bollywood remained largely silent on the issue, or gave a delayed reaction.
