Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu trimmed, poor VFX scenes removed

The makers of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', featuring Pawan Kalyan, have edited the film significantly after a lukewarm initial response. The film, which is jointly helmed by Krish Jagarlamudi and Jyothi Krisna, has undergone trimming to enhance the viewing experience. This decision comes five days after the film's release. It has raked in Rs 75 crore nett at the domestic box Hara Veera Mallu' team silently made the changes after middling reviews and passed them to the theatres. The climax was notably tightened, while several face-off moments and the elaborate cyclone sequences, which had poor VFX, were omitted. The revised ending now closes with Bobby Deol's line, "Aandhi Vachesindhi (Storm is coming)."The 'flag scene,' featuring a distorted visual of Pawan Kalyan's face, was removed due to negative attention. Additionally, an action sequence involving Pawan Kalyan firing arrows was subtly modified for stronger impact. Another scene trimming occurred post-interval, where sequences involving a horse ride along a cliff's edge were shortened to increase pace and retain audience engagement. Despite the film's star power, initial bookings remained modest. With the revised version now screening, there is hope that these changes could attract more cinema-goers. Viewers noted that the edits improved the pacing and overall appeal of the team behind 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' took swift action to address the feedback. Whether these changes will successfully draw larger crowds remains to be seen. The trimmed version has been screening in theatres since the film continues its run in cinemas, the effectiveness of these edits in improving viewer reception will be closely monitored. The response over the coming days will indicate whether the adjustments have revitalised audience interest in Pawan Kalyan's project.- EndsTrending Reel
