'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' box office collections day 6: Pawan Kalyan's film sees sharp decline; mints Rs 77.57 crores
Pawan Kalyan's much-awaited epic 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' started its theatrical journey on a strong note. Unfortunately the highly awaited film has seen a sharp dip in collections as the days progressed.
According to the Sacnilk website, the film opened with a respectable Rs 12.75 crore on its early release day (Wednesday), with all of it coming from the Telugu version. This figure saw a substantial rise on Day 1 (Thursday), touching Rs 34.75 crore across multiple languages. However, the following days revealed a steady decline in audience footfall. It was majorly due to the mediocre reviews for the film.
Weekend surge proves temporary
While Day 2 (Friday) brought in Rs 8 crore.
. The weekend did show some signs of revival.
Reportedly, Saturday and Sunday brought in Rs 9.15 crore and Rs 10.6 crore respectively. The Telugu version continued to dominate the revenue share. The Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam versions contributed minimal figures. However, this brief weekend boost failed to keep the momentum going as Monday collections plunged again to Rs 2.32 crore.
While the film had the benefit of an ensemble cast including Nidhhi Agerwal, Bobby Deol, Nargis Fakhri, Nora Fatehi, Jisshu Sengupta, Sunil Varma, and Sathyaraj, it seems the initial buzz wasn't enough to sustain audience attention.

With a current total of Rs 77.57 crore across all languages in six days, the film's performance now depends on how it weathers its second week.
Whether the collections can stabilize or continue their downward trend remains to be seen in the days ahead. Meanwhile, one major backstab for the Pawan Kalyan starrer is the criticisms for the VFX scenes in the movie, along with majority of the reviews slamming it's inconsistent story telling and weak performances. Overall, it's doubtful whether the big-budget movie will achieve a break-even in coming days.

Dhadak 2: Shazia Iqbal destroys ancient Bollywood Dharma in the best Karan Johar production since Jigra
Something that Quentin Tarantino said recently rings true for director Shazia Iqbal's Dhadak 2. In an interview, he explained why he admires the controversial blockbuster film Joker, despite the divisive reactions that it opened to. Tarantino said that the movie pulled off 'subversion on a massive level', when it got audiences across the globe to root for a madman to shoot a celebrity in the face on live TV. These were all civilised people, Tarantino said. And yet, for around 10 minutes, they were hungry for blood. It's an unusual comparison to make, but Dhadak 2 has more in common with a billion-dollar-grossing Hollywood movie than you'd imagine. In an alternate universe, Siddhant Chaturvedi's character in the film, a Dalit man named Neelesh, could have very easily turned into a vengeful anarchist. In the film's climactic showdown, after escaping from the clutches of a malevolent Anton Chigurh-type assassin played by Saurabh Sachdeva, Neelesh turns his attention to the film's main antagonist, a Brahmin guy called Ronny who's been harassing him for months. He grabs a hold of Ronny, drags him onto the street, and pummels him into the ground. Like Sunny Deol, he uproots a metallic gate, and prepares to bash Ronny's face in with it. In that moment, there is nothing more that you, as a member of the audience, can desire more than for Ronny to be murdered in the most brutal manner imaginable. Also read – Jigra: Vasan Bala weaponises Alia Bhatt in one of the best Hindi films of the year; Karan Johar better have his back This is 'subversion on a massive level' – to get seemingly civilised people to briefly think like wild animals. Comedians do this all the time. Joker did it as well. Directed by Todd Phillips, the movie pointed fingers at polite society for turning a blind eye to the mentally ill. Their ignorance, the movie suggested, is what compels folks like Arthur Fleck to take matters into their own hands. In Dhadak 2, Neelesh experiences many of the same indignities that were directed at Arthur in Joker. He is humiliated in public, kicked while he's down, even urinated on. Dhadak 2 could've been the origin story of a mass-murdering criminal; had Neelesh transformed into a lunatic killer, you'd 100% understand why. But Dhadak 2 isn't a comic book movie. It is, however, one of the most daring examples of what can be achieved in mainstream Hindi filmmaking. There are elements of exploitation cinema — Tarantino's favourite genre — in Dhadak 2 as well. But the tone isn't nearly as gnarly as it could've been; for a real glimpse at how far things can be pushed past the boundaries of good taste, you needn't look further than Mari Selvaraj's Vaazhai, an autobiographical drama that he released last year. Incidentally, Dhadak 2 is a remake of Selvaraj's debut film, Pariyerum Perumal. It follows a lower-caste man's tentative romance with a girl from an upper-caste family. In Dhadak 2 — the film has had the misfortune of being retroactively rebranded as a 'spiritual sequel', much like the recent Kesari: Chapter 2 — Neelesh understands that he could get murdered for even speaking to someone like Viddhi, let alone for developing feelings for her. Read more – Stolen: The rare Hindi movie that isn't afraid to insult its own audience, and you know what, we deserve it Chaturvedi plays him with a timidity that is more self-imposed than it is ingrained. He is driven only by one objective: to gain an education for the benefit of the same people to whom it has been denied. Neelesh also delivers a version of the line that made Chaturvedi go viral some years ago, when he told the presumably more privileged Ananya Panday that his dreams end where her struggles begin. In Dhadak 2, Neelesh gains admission into a law college through the SC/ST quota, something that the ingrates in his class never let him forget. They don't understand that for him to even have the opportunity to be seated in the same room as them is essentially a miracle. Instead of celebrating him for swimming against the tide his entire life and challenging an oppressive system by merely existing, they ostracise him. The harassment only becomes worse when he starts dating Viddhi, played by a never-better Triptii Dimri. She happens to be related to Ronny, who threatens to (honour) kill her on several occasions. It's a familiar set-up, but one that has historically been sugarcoated in cinema by class-conflict, socioeconomic differences, and sometimes, plain geographical distance. All of these issues are code for caste. In India, every injustice can be traced back to a single source; it's the disgusting 'nala' that we're all drinking from. Income inequality, hunger, lack of education, denial of fundamental rights… Everything. Read more –Bheed: Anubhav Sinha's movie is a messy, confrontational, and deeply angry response to blasé Bollywood We live in a country where a man can be killed for growing a style of moustache that the upper castes have claimed as their own. India is perhaps one of the few nations in the world where literal laws have to be enforced in order to prevent people from killing their own children. To do the dirty work for them, the cowards hire midwives for the nominal sum of Rs 50. These midwives murder female babies for a living not because they enjoy it, but because they've been subjugated and oppressed for their entire lives; it's a family trade; their daughters will follow in their footsteps. They aren't allowed to do anything else. What sort of society allows this? These uncomfortable truths are rarely, if ever, spoken about inside our homes, let alone in our cinema. The Malayali filmmakers are leading the charge on this front as well, while Bollywood self-combusts at the very idea of discomfort. But, in recent years, there has been a growing wave of Hindi directors who've dared to expose us for who we are. Iqbal is the youngest to join their ranks, and she probably had other barriers to overcome. She's a minority twice over. You can sense her growing pains in the Dhadak 2's odd comic interludes, a needless song-and-dance number, and one-note soundtrack. Collectively, all of it feels like a giant Ormax Media note more than anything else. But her movie has more integrity than the entire filmographies of her colleagues put together. Her voice is bebaak. Dhadak 2 is the best film of its kind since Nagraj Manjule's Jhund, and one that producer Karan Johar should hang forever and ever on his mantelpiece.

However, in 2015, things took a painful turn. Neetu alleges that her husband sent bouncers to assault her and throw her out of Paramount, despite being the co-founder and 50 per cent owner. This incident shocked many. But Neetu didn't give up. The Rise of KD Campus and KD Live Later that same year, she established KD Campus in Mukherjee Nagar, Delhi, naming it after her late father, Kishore Dev. The institute quickly became one of the top coaching centres for government exam preparation, producing many successful students. When the pandemic struck in 2020, Neetu launched an online learning platform called KD Live. Her YouTube channel grew to nearly 2 million subscribers, and her digital efforts helped countless students prepare for exams from home. As per Moneycontrol, Neetu also actively supports orphans, the elderly and underprivileged families, showing that her mission goes beyond academics.
