Now, just days later, makers have released an improved version of the movie, and fans have taken note of the difference in the quality. On Sunday, July 27, the makers shared a post featuring the poster of the film and writing alongside it, 'BATTLE FOR DHARMA JUST GOT BIGGER. Updated & reloaded content across all screens for the BEST cinematic experience. #HariHaraVeeraMallu – IN CINEMAS NOW." The ones who watched and re-watched HHVM over the weekend in the Telugu states took to social media, saying several scenes, especially towards the end of the movie, had either been removed or trimmed, and that they loved watching the new version. 'Just now watched the ReEdited Version #HariHaraVeeraMallu. Few Vfx shots were deleted and few shots were updated.

Movie Hari Hara Veera Mallu – Part 1 Review: Bombastic, not fantastic
Krish Jagarlamudi . The much-delayed and hyped multi-lingual movie Hari Hara Veeramallu has arrived at theaters. The movie's release was put off by five years due to various reasons including the pandemic. Its shooting began under the guidance of directorbut he had to exit. Later, Jyothi Krishna, the son of well-known producer AM Rathnam, took the responsibility of completing the shooting. The result: The tonal and dramatic disparities are evident between the pre and post-intermissions. The failure of the directors to translate the potential of the core premise of the movie to the screen is its plot revolves around a king entrusting a well-known fugitive with a task to reclaim a priceless diamond. The movie begins with Veera Mallu attacking officers from the British East India Company and recovering diamonds from them. Impressed by Veera Mallu's skills in stealing diamonds, a king (Sachin Khedekar), assigns him to steal diamonds that are being sent to Golconda Nawab. Veera Mallu meets Panchami (Nidhi Agerwal), a devadasi, and falls in love with her. Panchami pleads with Veera Mallu to save her from the king, who wants to keep her as his mistress. You have to watch the movie to know what happens to Veera Mallu and whether or he reaches Golconda or far as the performances of actors are concerned, Pawan Kalyan has worked hard but fails to meet the expectations of the audiences, including his hardcore fans. He looks good in action scenes but too much glorification and computer graphics have played spoilsport. Action scenes, especially those of the hero and heroine jumping from one building to another and flying like kites to escape from enemies, are too far-fetched. It is not clear what the director was hoping to achieve with such scenes. Nidhi Agerwal looks good, but has no chance to showcase her acting skills. Bobby Deol, as Aurangzeb, is convincing. Sathyaraj, Nassar, Subbaraju, Raghu Babu give good by MM Keeravani is not up to the mark. Art director Thota Tharani has done a commendable job. If you have nothing much to do, you can watch this film.

‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu' box office: Pawan Kalyan's film mints ₹9.25 crore on Day 3 after sharp drop in earnings
Telugu star Pawan Kalyan's historical epic, Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1, hasn't had the opening fans of the star were hoping for. The film, released on Thursday, earned ₹9.25 crore on Saturday, bringing the total to ₹64.75 crore. According to Sacnilk, the film opened to ₹34.75 crore on Thursday, after minting ₹12.75 crore from preview shows on Wednesday. However, due to unfavourable reviews and calls for a boycott due to a political controversy, the film saw a 76.98 per cent drop in collections on Friday, earning only ₹8 crores. Trade reports suggest that Sunday (July 27) wouldn't be much different either. Directed by Jyothi Krishna and Krish Jagarlamudi, the historical action drama revolves around the titular character, Veera Mallu, a rebellious outlaw. Bobby Deol essays the role of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, the antagonist in the movie. Niddhi Agerwal is the female lead. Anupam Kher, Jisshu Sengupta, Nargis Fakhri, M Nassar, Sunil, Raghu Babu, Subbaraju and Nora Fatehi are the other actors in the movie. The film features music by Oscar-winning composer MM Keeravani, with Manoj Paramahamsa serving as the cinematographer. Veteran Thota Tharani is the art director of the movie. Hari Hara Veera Mallu is produced by AM Rathnam under his Mega Sura Production banner. The Hindu's review of the film reads, 'The first half drags along, saved occasionally by M.M. Keeravani's music. While the story feels patchy, a couple of action scenes show Veera Mallu's knack for stealing diamonds and standing up for the oppressed. A wrestling sequence highlights Pawan Kalyan's martial arts background, and his past as a stunt choreographer adds value to the 18-minute pre-climax action stretch. But everything in between feels flat.'
