Hari Hara Veera Mallu day 3: Modest recovery amid steep decline

The Pawan Kalyan starrer Hari Hara Veera Mallu gets a slight rise in collections due to the re-edited version which removed poor CG scenes

Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu makes an estimated Rs 9.25 crore India‑net across all language versions on its third day at the box office, according to Sacnilk. This marks a 15–23% uptick from its Friday collection of around Rs 8 crore, providing a brief relief after a sharp fall on day 2. This upward graph is a direct result of the chopped CG scenes from the film, which decision makers took after the negative reception during premieres.

The film’s total net collection stands at Rs 64.75 crore after three days, including Rs 12.75 crore from premiere shows and Rs 34.75 crore on its first official day. Weekend occupancy in the Telugu version reached approximately 31.7%, with evening and night shows drawing stronger footfalls compared to earlier slots

HHVM stars Pawan Kalyan as Veera Mallu, a rebellious outlaw who takes on the Mughal Empire, with a mission that begins as a heist for the Kohinoor diamond and evolves into a broader resistance against Emperor Aurangzeb. Bobby Deol plays Aurangzeb, with Nidhhi Agerwal, Nassar, Sunil, and Sachin Khedekar in supporting roles.

Initially directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, the project later saw AM Jyothi Krisna take over direction. The film has been in production for over three years, facing multiple delays before its eventual release. It is produced by Dayakar Rao under the Mega Surya Production banner and presented by AM Rathnam.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu’s music is composed by MM Keeravaani, with cinematography by Gnana Shekar VS and Manoj Paramahamsa, and editing by KL Praveen.

The CE review of Hari Hara Veera Mallu noted, “HHVM is not a terrible film, That would be too easy. It is something worse: a dull film with no spirit, even if the title argues otherwise. There are a few charms, some ideas, some shots, some sparks, and definitely an interesting setup. But the film quickly goes off-track, and becomes a lazy fight against oppression of those times.”
