Unfortunately, the film received mostly mixed reviews from the audiences. One of the major drawbacks were said to be the poor VFX works in this Pawan Kalyan starrer. An excerpt from ETimes review for the film reads, "MM Keeravaani's rousing background score is a clear highlight. The supporting cast is underutilised. Bobby Deol brings quiet menace as Aurangzeb but appears only briefly. Other actors, including Sathyaraj, Nassar, Sachin Khedekar, Subbaraju, Sunil, Raghu Babu, and Kota Srinivasa Rao (in his final appearance), are present but given little scope." As Day 3 approaches, all eyes are on the weekend performance to see if the film can bounce back from the early dip and regain box office traction.

‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu' Twitter review: Hit or miss for Pawan Kalyan? Check out
's much-anticipated historical drama 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Sword vs Spirit' has finally made its way to the theatres. Once considered a stalled or shelved project, the film's return had been met with cautious hope. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The film, which runs for nearly three hours, was touted as a grand cinematic spectacle, with historical scale and emotion. Let's take a look at what the Twitter users are saying about the film. From electrifying action to disjointed narrative Hari Hara Veera Mallu | Song - Evaradi Evaradi Initial Twitter reviews have been a mixed bag. One user commented, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu's interval brings the heat, but the first half's slow serial vibes & big action miss the mark.' Another chimed in, calling the Kusthi fight 'one of the best action sequences in Telugu cinema.' Yet, many were less forgiving. One early viewer tweeted, 'No grip on the storytelling, visual effects & drama doesn't work. Big second half needed for at least an average film.' Some criticized the visual effects and flow of the narrative, calling it 'bits and pieces stuck together' and describing the viewing experience as 'torturous so far.' Another one wrote, "Done with Hhvm premiers .. movie- okay ok. Fights . Pawan Kalyan screen presence. Kervani thatha sava kotinadu. But VFX &cg chala worst." Star cast and technical talent can't save it for all Despite featuring a loaded ensemble cast—Bobby Deol, Nidhhi Agerwal, Nargis Fakhri, Nora Fatehi, and Sathyaraj—many viewers felt the film struggled to hold attention. Even with an impressive list of technicians including cinematographers Manoj Paramahamsa and Gnana Shekar V.S., and editors like KL Praveen, the film's VFX and storytelling were widely criticized. Action choreographers like Nick Powell, Ram-Laxman, and Peter Hein added muscle to the action, but reactions suggest the impact was inconsistent. Keeravani's music stood out for some, but for others, it wasn't enough to rescue the overall experience.
