Hari Hara Veera Mallu Day 4 Box Office: Pawan Kalyan Film Eyes Rs 80 Crore-Mark
Last Updated: Pawan Kalyan's comeback film, Hari Hara Veera Mallu Part 1, has earned Rs 73.55 crore at the box office. Directed by Jyothi Krishna, it depicts a 17th-century rebellion. Pawan Kalyan's much-anticipated comeback to the big screen is showing consistent strength at the box office. Hari Hara Veera Mallu Part 1: Sword vs Spirit, which hit theatres last week, is slowly but steadily building momentum despite a weekend dip in collections. On its fourth day, the historical action epic earned Rs 8.9 crore across all languages, as per data from industry tracker Sacnilk. This figure is only slightly lower than its Day 3 collection of Rs 9.15 crore. So far, the film's total box office collection stands at Rs 73.55 crore, putting it well within striking distance of the Rs 75 crore milestone. These numbers are based on early estimates from Sunday's morning, afternoon, and evening shows. Sunday saw decent footfall in Telugu-speaking regions, with the overall occupancy recorded at 39 per cent. The morning shows had 24.49 per cent occupancy while afternoon shows were at 44.85 per cent. The evening shows saw a footfall of 47.66 per cent. The film is performing strongest in Hyderabad, where the Telugu version has been drawing maximum crowds. While the original Telugu release remains the major contributor, dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam have helped widen the reach. Hari Hara Veera Mallu began its theatrical journey with an explosive opening of Rs 34.75 crore on Day 1. Though there was a drop on Friday with Rs 8 crore coming in, Saturday saw a slight rise in momentum again. In terms of 2025 releases, Hari Hara Veera Mallu failed to surpass Ram Charan's Game Changer. The film opened to a collection of Rs 51 crore. However, Pawan Kalyan's latest release has left behind some successful films like Daaku Maharaaj (Rs 25.35 crore), Sankranthiki Vasthunam (Rs 23 crore) and Kuberaa (Rs 14.75 crore). Hari Hara Veera Mallu, directed by Jyothi Krishna, transports viewers to the 17th century with a gripping tale of rebellion. Set during a time of political turmoil, the film follows a fearless outlaw who challenges an oppressive regime. Pawan Kalyan, now serving as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, makes a powerful return to the silver screen in the titular role. The film delves into themes of resistance, justice, and loyalty as it brings to life a turbulent chapter in history. Kalyan's character is portrayed as a fierce warrior who leads an uprising, embodying the spirit of defiance against tyranny. The screenplay has been penned by Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi, Sai Madhav Burra, and Abhimanyu Srivastava. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Some X users questioned the timeline of the movie, mentioning that Veera Mallu reportedly died in the 1300s, while the Charminar was built in the 1500s, and Aurangzeb's invasion of Golconda occurred in the 1600s. The post added, "Where is the accuracy? I want accuracy" In a recent interview with ABN Telugu, AM Ratnam addressed the issue that 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is not a biopic or a direct historical retelling, but rather a fictional story set during the Mughal era.

Within this fictional framework, Veera Mallu is tasked with stealing the famed Kohinoor diamond, bringing him into conflict with historical figures like Aurangzeb.
