Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu streams on OTT with tweaked ending; fans frustrated by 3 different climaxes
Trimmed version of HHVM streams on Prime Video with tweaked ending
Since its release in theatres, HHVM has had three different endings. The first version, which was 2 hours 43 minutes long, ended in a ridiculous fight scene between Veera Mallu (Pawan) and Aurangzeb (Bobby Deol) involving a tornado. After receiving criticism for it, producer AM Rathnam trimmed the runtime and ended the film on a different note, with Aurangzeb saying, 'Aandhi vastundi (A storm is coming),' as Veera rides towards him, cutting out the tornado fight. Now, the makers have released a third ending by trimming the runtime to 2 hours and 33 minutes, with the film ending after a fight scene choreographed by Pawan.
Fans confused by three different endings for HHVM
Once HHVM hit OTT, fans were confused as to why yet another ending was chosen for the film. One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), 'Malli kotha climax aa (Not a new climax again).' Another wrote, 'Enti chowki thana fight taruvata end chesava @amjothikrishna. adem ending ra 2nd version better kada ra aandhi vastundi ane deggara end chesav. (You ended the film after the Chowki Thana fight, wasn't the second version better?)'
Some fans even got frustrated, asking Jyothi how he delivered three different endings despite going to film school. One wrote, '#HariHaraVeeraMallu Arey @amjothikrishna first day Emo RRR type lo vesavu ending, 3rd day inkoka side vesavu ending, Ott lo emo ah fight ayyaka vesavu ending. Assalu Ninnu evadra film school ki pampinchindhi, pampinchina evdra neeku certify chesindhi (You gave an RRR type ending on first day, then changed it on the third day. Now there's another ending on OTT. How did you graduate from film school?)'
Some fans, however, thought the new ending was apt. One wrote, 'This should have been done earlier… a high-ending, a costly miss raa @HHVMFilm.' Another also wrote that the filmmakers lost a 'golden chance' in theatres.
HHVM stars Pawan Kalyan, Bobby Deol and Nidhhi Agerwal in lead roles. It tells the story of an outlaw who is tasked with retrieving the Koh-i-Noor from Aurangzeb.

Rose Bowl Concert horror goes viral: Woman beaten unconscious after accidentally spilling drink on man; netizens slam crowd control
In a shocking incident at Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium, a bizarre video surfaced on social media where a woman was seen being beaten unconscious by a man during a concert on Saturday night. The victim, who had travelled from Phoenix with her fiancé to see Grammy-winning band RÜFÜS DU SOL, was attacked following a spilt drink and a brief confrontation. Authorities are actively investigating the case and seeking the suspect. As soon as the video surfaced on social media, it quickly went viral. According to KTLA 5, the Arizona woman is currently recovering after a brutal beating over the weekend at a sold-out concert and doesn't want to be identified. The X (formerly called Twitter) shared a post on X with a caption reading, " Woman was beaten unconscious by a man during a concert at Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium The incident happened Saturday night after the victim and her fiancé drove from Phoenix to see Grammy Award–winning band RÜFÜS DU SOL The victim said that when she and her friend got to their seats, they accidentally spilled part of a drink on a man sitting in front of them 'We apologized immediately, but he yelled that it was intentional and ran off, leaving his companion behind… We apologised to her and thought it was over.' She has since contacted police, who confirmed they are actively working to identify the man." Arizona woman beaten by man during Rose Bowl goes viral The video is currently doing rounds on the internet; however, it's unclear what time exactly the incident unfolded, but the victim told KTLA that when the woman and her friend got to their seats, they accidentally spilt a bit of a drink on a man in front of them. The woman also quoted The Festive Owl, a music news outlet that first reported the incident, which said, 'We apologised immediately, but he yelled that it was intentional and ran off, leaving his companion behind." "We apologised to her and thought it was over." In the viral footage of the violent attack, the man can be seen launching into a group of people and throwing at least five punches back to back. However, someone behind him also tried to pull him out of the crowd. Arizona woman beaten unconscious by man during concert at Rose BowlAn Arizona woman who did not want to be identified is recovering after a brutal beating over the weekend at a sold-out concert in Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium that was captured on video and has since gone viral. Accused left the woman unconscious and bleeding As per the report, the unidentified concertgoer returned about a half hour later and began screaming at the victim and her friends, threatening violence. On the other hand, she said she tried de-escalating the situation by apologising again; the man punched her in the face, knocking her unconscious and causing significant bleeding. Since the footage has now gone viral, netizens have complained that the venue did a less-than-stellar job of managing the sold-out stadium show. Eyewitnesses and netizens slam the incident According to Grimy Goods, the independent Los Angeles-based music blog, "Among the long laundry list of complaints was crowd crushing in tunnels, people pushing in overcrowded stairs, aggressive drunk people, arguments, fans blocking exits, incredibly long shuttle lines, and, sadly, assault." Christina Molina, another attendee at the concert that night, was sitting a few rows behind the victim with her daughter and said, 'I literally had people pressed up against my back, all of them blocking that entire walkway,' she told KTLA. 'So, crowd control was nonexistent.' While one user asked, "Where was the fiancé!!!!????" "He's fighting a guy. She got in the way." One assumed, "The fact that no man intervened leads me to believe the woman assaulted him first. Stole from him. SOMETHING. There's definitely more to this." 'What serial killer hair cut is that? Geezus! Internet 🛜 we need to identify him,' one added. Another said, 'This is why women should always carry pepper spray.' 'Not a single man in that crowd. Absolutely pathetic that these "men" didn't step in and stop that.' 'Looks like a Grant... an Immigrant.'
