‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu' OTT release: Pawan Kalyan's epic arrives with a new climax — when and where to watch
Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Sword vs. Spirit, one of Pawan Kalyan's most awaited movies, released on July 24, 2025. Mounted on a massive budget with significant investments, the period drama carried high expectations. However, mixed reviews severely impacted its box office performance. While many moviegoers appreciated certain aspects of the film despite its shortcomings, the overall reception was underwhelming. Following its theatrical run, the film has now arrived on OTT. Hari Hara Veera Mallu streaming details Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Sword vs. Spirit, Pawan Kalyan's big-ticket period drama, premiered on Prime Video on August 20, 2025, after a disappointing theatrical outing. The film is available in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam. According to a Cinema Express report, Prime Video acquired the streaming rights for a staggering Rs 50 crore. The film's official X handle announced, 'A tale of rebellion, rage, and righteousness. The storm that started in theaters now takes over your screens.' Box office vs budget According to reports, the film was made on an extravagant budget of around Rs 300 crore. Despite this, it collected only Rs 116.82 crore worldwide, as per a Sacnilk report. Even after factoring in the OTT rights deal, the film failed to recover its total cost and was widely termed a box office disaster. OTT version features a new climax Pawan Kalyan plays the titular character Hari Hara Veera Mallu, an outlaw on a mission to free the Koh-i-Noor from Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, portrayed by Bobby Deol. While the theatrical version received criticism for its underwhelming visual effects and lack of polish in many sequences, the OTT cut introduces significant changes. In theaters, the film originally ended with Aurangzeb (Bobby Deol) declaring, 'A storm is coming.' This was after producer AM Rathnam trimmed the climactic battle between Veera Mallu and Aurangzeb during a cyclone. The OTT version, however, ends after the song 'Asura Hananam' and features a sequel announcement, removing the storm sequence entirely. This has resulted in the film now having three distinct endings across its edits. Viewers have also noted that the OTT version features improved VFX, making several scenes look more refined than they did on the big screen.
