Hari Hara Veera Mallu Review LIVE Updates: ‘Power Star' fever grips Telugu states as Pawan Kalyan's long-delayed actioner hits screens
Hari Hara Veera Mallu Review, Rating and Release LIVE Updates: Telugu star Pawan Kalyan's long-delayed period action-adventure Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 has finally hit the screens, and a festive spirit has gripped the Telugu states with fans of the 'Power Star' celebrating the return of their beloved action hero to the silver screen with full fervour. One of the most anticipated Telugu films of the year, it is expected that Hari Hara Veera Mallu will rescue the Tollywood box office from the rough patch it has been going through since the beginning of 2025. However, considering that the movie faced multiple postponements, with the premiere date being changed at least three times just this year and filming reportedly continuing until late 2024 — suggesting that the makers had limited time to complete post-production work, including VFX, it remains to be seen if the film can keep the promise it made to Pawan Kalyan 's fans. Nonetheless, the advance booking for the big- budget actioner, as per Sacnilk, has been strong so far. As of 9 pm on Wednesday, the movie's first day pre-sales gross had crossed Rs 30 crore worldwide. While Hari Hara Veera Mallu had grossed Rs 7 crore from the Telugu states alone, the total advance bookings for the first day across India had touched Rs 20 crore. The overseas advance collection currently stands at Rs 10 crore. Going by the current trends, Hari Hara Veera Mallu is showing potential to outperform the last three films of Pawan Kalyan in terms of opening collections. While 2023's Bro grossed Rs 35.2 crore domestically and recorded an India nett collection of Rs 30.05 crore on release day, 2022's Bheemla Nayak registered Rs 43.10 crore gross (Rs 37.15 crore nett) and 2021's Vakeel Saab minted Rs 40.10 crore nett. While addressing the media in Hyderabad on Monday, Pawan Kalyan talked about Hari Hara Veera Mallu. "Director Krish Jagarlamudi approached us with a high-concept story that we all liked. The film faced delays during the pandemic, and later I got busy with my political career. Though Krish stepped back due to varied reasons, Rathnam and (his son) Jyothi Krishna, who took up the task of direction, were relentless and ensured that the film was completed,' he pointed out, adding that the high-action climax episode was shot over 57 days." Also starring Bobby Deol, Nidhhi Agerwal, Nargis Fakhri and Nora Fatehi, the movie was partly directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and, after his exit, AM Jyothi Krishna. Bankrolled by AM Rathnam under the banner of Mega Surya Production, the film features music by MM Keeravani, cinematography by Gnana Shekar VS and Manoj Paramahamsa, and editing by Praveen KL.
