Hari Hara Veera Mallu box office collection Day 4: Pawan Kalyan's film surpasses Thandel's domestic total despite poor reviews, nears Nani's HIT with Rs 75.65 cr
Hari Hara Veera Mallu box office collection Day 4: Actor-turned-politician Pawan Kalyan returned to the big screen after a gap of two years with Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1. The highly anticipated film opened at the box office with good numbers. However, since its first day, the film has witnessed a fall in its collections. According to Sacnilk, it raked in Rs 11 crore on Sunday, bringing its total domestic collection to Rs 75.65 crore. Hari Hara Veera Mallu began its box office journey by earning Rs 34.75 crore on its opening day. Pawan Kalyan's Telugu fanbase remained the biggest draw for the film, as it earned the majority of its opening day revenue from Telugu-speaking states — Rs 34.65 crore to be exact. The film collected negligible amounts from other language versions. From its Hindi and Kannada versions, it earned just Rs 1 lakh each, while the Tamil and Malayalam versions earned Rs 3 lakh and Rs 5 lakh, respectively, on day one. The film witnessed a 76 percent drop in its collections on Friday, earning Rs 8 crore. This was followed by a slight uptick over the weekend — Rs 9.15 crore on Saturday and Rs 11 crore on Sunday. On Sunday, the Pawan Kalyan-starrer recorded an overall 36.14% occupancy in the Telugu market, with maximum footfall during afternoon and evening shows. Hari Hara Veera Mallu has surpassed the performance of Pawan Kalyan's last film Bro, which had earned Rs 67.85 crore within four days of release—less than Hari Hara Veera Mallu's current domestic total of Rs 75.65 crore. Despite the steep decline in daily collections, Hari Hara Veera Mallu has managed to climb to the 7th spot among the highest-grossing Telugu films. It has overtaken the total domestic collection of Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya's Thandel, which stood at Rs 65.49 crore. The film is now just Rs 5 crore short of surpassing the total domestic collection of Nani's HIT: The Third Case, which earned Rs 80.75 crore. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and A M Jyothi Krishna, Hari Hara Veera Mallu features a screenplay by Jagarlamudi and Sai Madhav Burra. The film stars Pawan Kalyan in the titular role, alongside Bobby Deol, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Sathyaraj in key roles.
