Hari Hara Veera Mallu Day 6 Box Office: Pawan Kalyan Film Struggles To Reach Rs 80 crore
Pawan Kalyan's "Hari Hara Veera Mallu" struggles at the box office, earning Rs 78.69 crore by day 6. Despite a strong Rs 34.75 crore opening, earnings have dipped. Hari Hara Veera Mallu Day 6 Box Office Collection: Pawan Kalyan's much-awaited period action film Hari Hara Veera Mallu hit the big screen on July 24 after years of delay. However, the buzz is already wearing off. Despite sky-high expectations from fans, the historical epic hasn't quite lived up to the hype, and the box office numbers are proof. By day 6, the film is still trying to inch closer to the Rs80 crore mark, but the latest figures don't look too promising. As per early estimates by Sacnilk, the film has witnessed yet another dip in collections. According to early estimates, Hari Hara Veera Mallu collected Rs 1.34 crore on Tuesday, making it the film's lowest single-day earning so far. Its highest remains the opening day, which brought in Rs 34.75 crore. Despite the weekend, there was no significant jump in numbers. Sunday's collection dipped to Rs 10.6 crore. As of Tuesday, the film's total box office collection stands at Rs 78.69 crore. Hari Hara Veera Mallu had begun its theatrical journey with an explosive opening of Rs 34.75 crore on Day 1. Directed by Jyothi Krishna, takes audiences back to the 17th century with a powerful story of rebellion. Set in a time of political unrest, the film follows a brave outlaw who rises against a cruel regime. Marking his return to cinema, Pawan Kalyan, now the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, plays the lead role with intensity. The movie explores strong themes of resistance, justice, and loyalty as it brings a dramatic chapter of history to life. Kalyan's character leads a fierce uprising, standing tall as a symbol of courage and defiance. The screenplay is written by Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi, Sai Madhav Burra, and Abhimanyu Srivastava. A part of the film's review by News18 read, 'Technically, Hari Hara Veera Mallu is a mixed bag. Thota Tharani's production design recreates parts of the Mughal world with flair, especially the Charminar sequences, but elsewhere, the visuals falter. The CGI, particularly in action-heavy scenes like the lion sequence and the journey to Delhi, ranges from jarring to downright laughable. These effects undercut the seriousness of the story and make the film feel less like a period epic and more like an outdated TV fantasy."

Chirah Dam fast-tracked for twin cities' water security
Amid rapidly growing population in Rawalpindi and Islamabad and the resulting pressure on water resources, the federal government has decided to initiate the Chirah Dam project in the Chirah region of Islamabad. The move follows directives from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, aimed at ensuring long-term water security for the twin cities. The Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) has submitted a formal proposal to the Punjab Secretary of Housing for project approval. The Chirah Dam is expected to supply 28 million gallons of water per day (MGD) to the twin cities. The estimated cost of the project is approximately Rs80 billion. In parallel, two other key dam projects — Chahan Dam and Dadhocha Dam — are already under development and are slated for completion in the coming years. Originally delayed under the Capital Development Authority (CDA), the Chirah Dam project is now being fast-tracked following a recent high-level meeting chaired by the prime minister. The meeting focused on addressing the escalating water demand and the gap in current supply. In response, WASA submitted a request to engage consultants for the preparation of the project's PC-I (Planning Commission Form-I). Official sources say the Punjab Irrigation Department will oversee the construction of Chirah Dam, while WASA Rawalpindi will be responsible for establishing the surface water treatment plant and water distribution network. Upon completion, the dam will supply treated water equally to both cities — 14 MGD each. Meanwhile, the Chahan Dam Water Supply Project — currently underway with Asian Development Bank loan funding of Rs33.95b — is being executed under the Dream Project. Once operational, it will add 17 MGD to Rawalpindi's water supply. In addition, the Dadhocha Dam project is under construction by the irrigation department and will provide an extra 35 MGD to Rawalpindi. WASA Rawalpindi will manage the water purification, pipeline network, and rising main installations. For this, it has engaged Usmani & Co as the consulting firm to develop the PC-I documentation. According to WASA Managing Director Rawalpindi, Muhammad Saleem Ashraf, the combined output from Chirah, Chahan, and Dadhocha dams will result in an additional 80 MGD of water — 14 MGD for Islamabad and 66 MGD for Rawalpindi. These initiatives, coupled with existing water sources such as Khanpur Dam, Rawal Dam, and various tube wells, are expected to significantly enhance the region's water supply infrastructure and sustainably meet the long-term needs of both cities.

Nashik police nab chain snatcher after two-hour chase
Nashik: What began as a normal Tuesday morning, turned out to be one with all the elements of a thriller — a chain robbery worth Rs80,000, a dramatic chase lasting two hours and the arrest of one of the two accused men. The victim, a woman (55) from Nandur Link Road in Adgaon, and her husband were standing near Ganesh Market chowk after purchasing vegetables around 12:30pm on Tuesday. Two bike-borne men came near them and the pillion rider, in a flash, snatched her gold chain as the duo fled the scene. The victim, although shocked at first, immediately contacted Adgaon police, giving officers a description of the bike. Without delay, a mobile team set on a hunt for the suspects. Soon they spotted the duo and the chase began. To escape, the suspects hastily went into Ambad industrial areas, parked the bike, removed their jackets and helmets and started running. A chase of 27km and two hours later, the police team of four finally nabbed one of the suspects, a 25-year-old man from Ambivali, Kalyan. The other accused still managed to flee. However, the team did recover the robbed gold chain.
