Hari Hara Veera Mallu director reacts to trolling for poor VFX in Pawan Kalyan's film, blames audience for nitpicking: ‘No one said it's boring'
Speaking to ABN, Jyothi blamed the audience for nitpicking and defended his film, claiming that no one has called it 'boring.' He said, 'When they nitpicked, all they could find was that the CGI and VFX were bad in some places. No one could point out the story and screenplay, or say it's boring, or that they can't understand it. There are 4400 shots in the film that required CGI. I knew in my heart that a few shots weren't up to par, but it wasn't something huge. We needed to hold special premieres for which tickets were sold out, and they turned that minor issue into something major.'
Jyothi also shared that he thinks people are trolling his film because they believe targeting famous people gets them views. He said, 'Anyone will troll only those who are in the limelight. People only get views when they write about someone famous. I do not take any of the negativity to heart. Every single day, I see something negative being written about Hari Hara Veera Mallu. This is not the first time a film has taken this long to produce.'
Hari Hara Veera Mallu has largely received negative reviews from critics. The film opened at the box office with Rs 34.75 crore on Thursday but saw a 76% drop the next day, earning only Rs 8 crore. The film witnessed a minor increase in collections over its first weekend, but saw a steep fall on Monday, earning just Rs 2.32 crore. The film is directed by Krish and Jyothi Krisna and also stars Nidhhi Agerwal and Bobby Deol in key roles.

Delhi government launches ‘Hauslon ki Udaan' initiative to promote youth creative talent
New Delhi: Chief minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday announced the launch of 'Hauslon ki Udaan' (flight of aspirations), an ambitious initiative aimed at discovering, nurturing and promoting the creative talent of the city's youth at the national and international levels. The scheme was approved by Delhi Cabinet during a meeting attended by all ministers, the chief secretary and senior officials. A budget of Rs 5 crore was allocated for its implementation in the current financial year. CM said that the blueprint of the initiative was carefully designed to ensure the participation of youth across the city, enabling them to gain recognition and enhance the reputation of the national capital. She added that the scheme was announced during her budget speech in Delhi Assembly and will now be rolled out with the cabinet's approval. The department of art, culture and languages will serve as the nodal department for its implementation.

'Hauslon ki Udaan' (flight of aspirations) will focus on identifying and nurturing talent among youth living in slums, informal settlements and unauthorised colonies," he added. Under the initiative, talent hunt programmes will be held in all assembly constituencies, followed by zonal and district-level competitions, culminating in a grand state-level finale. The scheme will focus on six art forms -- singing, dance, poetry, sculpture, visual art, digital art and theatre. Mishra said the programme aims to connect nearly five million young people across Delhi. The talent hunt will be organised over a six-month period, with winners receiving cash prizes. Delhi govt will also engage renowned artists from across the country as mentors to guide and prepare the selected participants, enabling them to achieve recognition on international platforms. "The competitions will be held over a span of six months, with the first event kicking off in Sept. Winners at the state level will be awarded the CM cup, along with prize money. We will rope in artists from different fields to mentor the winners of the competition," said an official. "Such competitions are held by private organisations, but this is probably the first time in the country that the state govt is holding such a competition," he claimed.

Saiyaara Box Office Day 12: Ahaan Panday's Debut Earns Rs 9.5 Cr On Tuesday, Eyes Rs 300 Cr
Last Updated: Saiyaara continues its golden run at the box office, collecting Rs 9.5 crore on Day 12. The film nears Rs 300 crore, OTT release now delayed. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara is showing no signs of slowing down. The romantic drama, directed by Mohit Suri, continues its triumphant box office run by earning Rs 9.50 crore (early estimates) on its second Tuesday, Day 12. The film had collected Rs 9.25 crore on Monday, indicating strong weekday retention. As per early estimates by Sacnilk, the film's total domestic box office collection now stands at a staggering Rs 266 crore. Having crossed the Rs 200 crore mark in just nine days, Saiyaara is now eyeing the Rs 300 crore club—an impressive feat for a film led by newcomers. The film, which released on July 18, 2025, started modestly but quickly gained momentum thanks to strong word-of-mouth and a deeply emotional storyline. It follows the journey of Krish Kapoor, a struggling musician, and Vaani Batra, a soulful poet, as they navigate themes of love, loss, and healing. The chemistry between Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda has been widely praised, marking a successful debut for both actors.

The emotional depth of the film, combined with Mohit Suri's signature storytelling style, has helped Saiyaara emerge as one of 2025's biggest surprises. According to The Times of India, Netflix has acquired the OTT rights for Saiyaara. However, due to its ongoing theatrical success, the digital premiere has been postponed closer to Diwali. This strategic delay is expected to give the film a longer theatrical shelf life and cater to a wider festive audience once it hits streaming platforms. With steady weekday collections and strong weekend potential, Saiyaara is poised for an even bigger box office haul in the coming days. If the current momentum continues, the film could become one of the highest-grossing romantic dramas of all time. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
