'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' had set high expectations. Unfortunately, the film received mostly mixed reviews from the audiences. One of the major drawbacks were said to be the poor VFX works in this Pawan Kalyan starrer. An excerpt from ETimes review for the film reads, "MM Keeravaani's rousing background score is a clear highlight.
The supporting cast is underutilised. Bobby Deol brings quiet menace as Aurangzeb but appears only briefly. Other actors, including Sathyaraj, Nassar, Sachin Khedekar, Subbaraju, Sunil, Raghu Babu, and Kota Srinivasa Rao (in his final appearance), are present but given little scope."
As Day 3 approaches, all eyes are on the weekend performance to see if the film can bounce back from the early dip and regain box office traction.

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 10: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda's movie earns ₹75 crore in 2nd weekend
Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 10: Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda's debut movie, Saiyaara, has continued its dream run right into the second weekend at both the domestic and worldwide box office, minting an excellent ₹ 75 crore. With this, the Mohit Suri directorial, which is already the biggest opener for debutants in Hindi cinema's history, has become one of the biggest second weekends ever. From multiplex audiences to single screens in mass circuits, Saiyaara is enjoying exceptional word of mouth across demographics. This dream run is expected to continue for Saiyaara till at least August 1, after which it will face some competition from Dhadak 2 and Son of Sardaar 2. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Saiyaara witnessed a 17.66% jump in its earnings on Sunday, minting an impressive ₹ 31.18 crore net on its second Sunday. With this, Saiyaara has minted ₹ 75.18 crore on its second weekend, which is only 10% less than what it earned during its opening weekend. The outstanding second weekend numbers indicate its 'long legs' at the box office. Saiyaara's 10-day total now stands at ₹ 248.43 crore net in India. It will possibly achieve ₹ 300 crore net by the end of the second week. Sacnilk reported that Saiyaara is performing exceedingly well in North America, the UK, the Middle East, and Australia. After 10 days, Saiyaara has grossed approximately ₹ 370 crore worldwide, of which around ₹ 120 crore gross came in the second weekend. Saiyaara is now just ₹ 7 crore away from the lifetime gross of Shahid Kapoor-Kiara Advani's Kabir Singh ( ₹ 377 crore), which would make it the highest-grossing romantic Indian film of all time. It will likely surpass it by Monday. Ready for its ₹ 400 crore gross feat by Tuesday, Saiyaara now eyes the ₹ 500 crore milestone. Saiyaara is a romance-drama about Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), a budding musician, and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a shy writer. Through their relationship, the film explores love, loss, and drama.

Indo-Arabia, Salman shared, 'I was about 18 years old, and there was a truly memorable moment during the shoot for the song Kabootar Ja Ja Ja when I suddenly knew that this was the role for me.
