Pawan Kalyan’s much-hyped period action film Hari Hara Veera Mallu opened to strong premiere collections, sparking excitement among fans. However, the momentum didn’t last long, as the film saw a major dip on day two, collecting just around Rs. 5 crore worldwide, per early trade estimates.

While fans praised Pawan’s performance and the film’s first half, criticism over weak VFX and a lackluster second half has led to mixed word-of-mouth, affecting its weekend hold. Neutral audiences are showing little interest, and many fans are now calling on producers to cut ticket prices to boost footfall.

Directed by Jyothi Krishna and produced by AM Rathnam, the film features Bobby Deol, Nidhhi Agerwal, Sathyaraj, and others. With high stakes, the coming days will be crucial to revive its box office run.
