Even as Pawan Kalyan says he will show his power at box office, Hari Hara Veera Mallu are tickets priced at over ₹700
Pawan Kalyan promises to show his satta after Bheemla Nayak
Pawan's last solo film was the 2022 film Bheemla Nayak, a remake of the 2020 Malayalam hit AK Ayyappanum Koshiyum. The film, which also starred Rana Daggubati, made ₹158.5 crore worldwide. Talking at the pre-release event, Pawan brought up how tickets for the film were sold for a very low price in AP.
He said, 'Two years ago, when Bheemla Nayak was released, I didn't say anything when the tickets were sold for ₹10-15. But, just like you wanted, we are releasing the film when I'm in power with hiked ticket rates. Back then, you watched the film out of resolve. I have come out now after the effort you put in back then. Dani taluka meeru satta chustaru iroju (You will see me prove myself now).'
He also called himself a hero who grew up on flops, stating that he only hopes for success now for his producers and fans. 'I do not know if the film will make crores, because I have grown up in flops. Much like how you pray for it, I also pray for success. I don't know if it'll happen, but I know I gave it my best; the rest I leave to God. Meeku nacchinda, baddalakotteyandi (If you like it, make it a hit). That's all I can say because you (his fans) are my strength. You have been by my side through it all, my heart beats only for you,' said Pawan.
Hari Hara Veera Mallu tickets hiked in TS and AP
Pawan's statement came as both the TS and AP governments allowed the makers to hike HHVM ticket prices. Premieres in both states will be held on 23 July around 9 PM.
In Telangana, paid premier tickets on 23 July will cost ₹600 + GST. During the weekend, tickets in single screens will cost ₹354 and ₹531 in multiplexes, with a ₹200 hike. Permission has also been granted to screen five shows per day. From day 5-11, tickets in single screens will be priced at ₹302 in single screens and ₹472 in multiplexes.
As for Andhra Pradesh, premier tickets are being sold at ₹700 in regions like Visakhapatnam for single screens. Multiplexes have been allowed to add ₹200 to the base ticket price, while single screens can charge ₹150 more for upper balcony and ₹100 for lower seats. The hike will be in effect from 24 July - 2 August.
HHVM is directed by Krish and Jyothi Krisna. It stars Pawan, Nidhhi Agerwal and Bobby Deol in lead roles.

Mandals can register till July 31 for Khasdar Sanskritik Ganesh Utsav
1 2 Nagpur: What started as a small cultural experiment in 2021 has now turned into one of Nagpur's most successful community-driven initiatives that blends devotional celebration with rich cultural expression. The Khasdar Sanskritik Mahotsav Samiti has appealed to Ganesh mandals across Nagpur to register for the Sanskritik Ganesh Utsav. In its fourth year, the Sanskritik Ganesh Utsav has grown exponentially — from just 55 mandals and 350 artists in 2021 to over 300 mandals and 2,000 artists participating in 2024. Ganesh mandals have been asked to register by July 31, while cultural groups and artists will register by August 5. Registration can be done by visiting Nitin Gadkari's Public Relations Office, at Savarkar Nagar, opposite Orange City Hospital, Khamla Chowk between 12 noon and 3pm. "Earlier, many Ganeshotsav celebrations were mere pomp and show. This platform brings back art, literature, and thought-provoking performances into pandals, benefiting local and folk artists who suffered due to Covid," said Jayprakash Gupta, secretary of Khasdar Sanskritik Mahotsav Samiti. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Remember Him? Take A Deep Breath Before You See Him Now The Noodle Box Undo The model is simple: mandals choose from a pool of registered performers and groups — including musicians, dancers, storytellers, dramatists, poets, and folk artists — who are then facilitated by the organising committee. The mandals provide space, sound, and seating, while the performers are paid by the committee as well as mandal office-bearers. This year, the organising committee led by Anil Sole (president), along with key members Gauri Shankar Parashar, Ashok Mankar, Dilip Jadhav, Rajesh Bagdi, Balasaheb Kulkarni, Sanjay Gulkari, and others, aims to take the movement to further. Wide range of programmes this year: - Musical plays, mimicry, kirtans, and bhajans - Bhav geet, patriotic songs, abhang, and Geet Ramayan - Folk performances like Gondhal, Bharud, and Dandar - Poetry recitals, storytelling, and monologues (Hindi & Marathi) - Workshops on rangoli and traditional games - Solo/group dances and instrumental performances - Night-long devotional shows and audio-visual presentations

Exhibition in Thiruvananthapuram highlights conversations on social issues
The works of 13 artists are on display at an exhibition titled Karu, which addresses pressing social issues. Thumbi, the curator of the exhibition, shares that the unique title was originally intended for a magazine. 'We hoped to address more issues and ideas through the magazine. And then, we came across Sree Narayana Guru's Atmopadesha Satakam, and in it was the word Karu. We looked it up in a dictionary and found that it means nucleus, core, and also has other interesting meanings like black, hard, something valuable, a type of drum, etc. All of these meanings connect with the works in the show,' she states. Speaking about the artists participating in the exhibition, she says, 'The artists are people we met during our journey with the art collective Untitled Kitchen. Some of these works were specifically made for the magazine while others are contributions from their existing body of work. For example, Mrudula's poem Postmortem Report, which addressed the suicide of Sidharthan JS, a veterinary university student, allegedly due to ragging. It wasn't published, but after I discussed the idea behind the exhibition, she suggested this work.' One of the featured artists is Devu Nenmara, a labourer who started painting with materials given to her by her son, artist Unnikrishnan, during the COVID lockdown. 'When we included Devu Amma's work, the idea was to reflect on who gets to be called an artist and what qualifies as an artistic practice. Devu Amma painted what she saw growing up — the colours she is familiar with, her memories. Even at her age, she is documenting her world, and that act is what we love to consider as artistic practice. The by-product could be anything — even something an ordinary person may not find visually pleasing — but the act of returning to the work can be considered art,' Thumbi explains.

Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum in Bengaluru turns 60, revamps gallery to Fun City
Bengaluru: As it marks its diamond jubilee, Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum (VITM) in the city remains a vital centre for science learning, with eight galleries and over 350 exhibits across 4,000 sqm in Cubbon Park. To commemorate 60 years, the museum is set to unveil a revamped version of its popular Fun Science Gallery, now rebranded as Fun City, this Sunday. The gallery will open to public at the museum building. New look for a long-standing gallery The Fun Science gallery, a fixture at VITM for years, has undergone a complete overhaul. The redesigned space features 40 exhibits, digital interfaces, and an updated layout, covering topics such as illusion art, fluid dynamics, pendulums, multi-colour shadows, classical mechanisms, and more.

"The idea was to refresh the entire gallery. People want novelty. Fun City includes hands-on setups — from optical illusions and kinetic puzzles to experiments with sound, light and force — to make science more accessible. Science is not only for BSc or MSc students; anyone can enjoy it," Bhaskaran added. Space & attention are challenges Despite its popularity, the museum is constrained by limited space. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 3 & 4 BHK Starts ₹1.65 Cr in Kukatpally Honer Signatis Book Now Undo "We have eight galleries and 350 exhibits, but no room to add new crowd-pullers like the Chandrayaan-3 model," said Cyril Babu, curator, VITM. "On busy days, we see 5,000 to 10,000 visitors. The galleries are already full. We've raised the issue with the govt, but there's been no resolution yet." Cubbon Park's zoning restrictions and fire safety norms rule out vertical expansion as well. Another challenge is the diminishing attention span of visitors. "We provide detailed labels and videos, but most visitors skip them. Even 3-4 minute clips are often found to be too long," Bhaskaran said. Footfall recovers, but costs rise After a sharp dip during the pandemic, visitor numbers are slowly returning to pre-Covid levels. "We used to receive around 10 lakh visitors annually. That dropped to about 3 lakh during the pandemic. Last year, we climbed back to 9 lakh," Bhaskaran said. To manage rising operational costs, VITM will marginally increase ticket prices from Rs 95 to Rs 100 from Aug 1. "We're required to revise prices for maintenance. We have a small team of 80 handling administration and upkeep, despite heavy footfall," Bhaskaran added. Looking ahead Plans are already in place to renovate the electro-technical gallery next year. "The goal is to ignite curiosity. We want every visitor, especially children, to realise that science is not out of reach. Science is evolving constantly, and while we are doing our best to keep up, we need more space to grow," Babu said.
