Hari Hara Veera Mallu Day 5 Box Office: Pawan Kalyan Film Sees Sharp Dip On 1st Monday
Last Updated: Hari Hara Veera Mallu, starring Pawan Kalyan, saw a significant drop in collections on Day 5, earning Rs 2.32 crore in India. Hari Hara Veera Mallu Day 5 Box Office Collection: It's been a rocky ride for Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1, and Day 5 isn't doing much to turn the tide. After a lukewarm start and mixed reactions all around, the Pawan Kalyan-starrer has seen a noticeable drop in collections on its first Monday. The film had released on July 23, 2025. Despite being a grand-scale period action-adventure with all the ingredients of a box office winner, the film just hasn't been able to strike a strong chord with audiences. Hari Hara Veera Mallu had begun its theatrical journey with an explosive opening of Rs 34.75 crore on Day 1. Despite getting a cold shoulder from both critics and the audience, Pawan Kalyan's film has still managed to rake in over Rs 100 crore worldwide within just five days. The film's solid opening weekend gave it a much-needed boost, helping it pull off a fairly decent total in the domestic market too. However, come Monday, the numbers took a sharp tumble with a massive 78.11 per cent drop in earnings compared to Sunday's figures. Hari Hara Veera Mallu seems to be losing steam fast. Failing the all-important first Monday test, the film could only bring in Rs 2.32 crore nett in India, according to early estimates by Sacnilk. This takes its total domestic haul to Rs 77.57 crore. While the Pawan Kalyan-starrer had a thunderous start with Rs 34.75 crore on Thursday and an impressive Rs 12.75 crore from paid premieres a day prior, it is seeing a dip now. Hari Hara Veera Mallu, directed by Jyothi Krishna, takes audiences back to the 17th century with a powerful story of rebellion. Set in a time of political unrest, the film follows a brave outlaw who rises against a cruel regime. Marking his return to cinema, Pawan Kalyan, now the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, plays the lead role with intensity. The movie explores strong themes of resistance, justice, and loyalty as it brings a dramatic chapter of history to life. Kalyan's character leads a fierce uprising, standing tall as a symbol of courage and defiance. The screenplay is written by Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi, Sai Madhav Burra, and Abhimanyu Srivastava.

India's GDP to grow at 6.5 pc in 2025, robust 6.7 pc in 2026: ADB
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) on Wednesday said that India's GDP growth is projected to grow at 6.5 per cent in 2025, and a robust 6.7 per cent in 2026, amid strong domestic demand, a normal monsoon and monetary easing in the country. When it comes to inflation, the country is likely to clock 3.8 per cent inflation this year, followed by 4.0 per cent in 2026 -- well within the reach of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) projections, ADB said in a statement. In India, falling food inflation also helps contain headline inflation. Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation slid to 2.1 per cent in June, the lowest in 77 months, as food inflation turned negative. India's real GDP growth is projected to grow in a range of 6.4-6.7 per cent this fiscal, reinforcing the country's position as the fastest-growing major economy in the world, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) said earlier this month. Meanwhile, the Asian Development Bank lowered its growth forecasts for economies in developing Asia and the Pacific this year and next year. The downgrades are driven by expectations of reduced exports amid higher US tariffs and global trade uncertainty, as well as weaker domestic demand. ADB forecasts the region's economies will grow by 4.7 per cent this year, a 0.2 percentage point decline from the projection issued in April. The forecast for next year has been lowered to 4.6 per cent from 4.7 per cent, according to Asian Development Outlook (ADO) July 2025. Prospects for developing Asia and the Pacific could be dented further by an escalation of US tariffs and trade tensions. Other risks include conflicts and geopolitical tensions that could disrupt global supply chains and raise energy prices, and a worse-than-expected deterioration in the property market of the People's Republic of China (PRC). 'Asia and the Pacific have weathered an increasingly challenging external environment this year. But the economic outlook has weakened amid intensifying risks and global uncertainty,' said ADB Chief Economist Albert Park. 'Economies in the region should continue strengthening their fundamentals and promoting open trade and regional integration to support investment, employment, and growth,' Part mentioned. Growth projections for the PRC, the region's largest economy, are maintained at 4.7 per cent this year and 4.3 per cent next year. Economies in Southeast Asia will likely be hardest hit by worsened trade conditions and uncertainty. ADB now predicts the subregion's economies will grow 4.2 per cent this year and 4.3 per cent next year, down roughly half a percentage point from April forecasts for each year.

Darts icon John Part recalls oppressive World Matchplay conditions - 'Lack of oxygen'
Ahead of the World Matchplay in Blackpool, which begins this weekend, former runner-up John Part recalls what made the tournament so special and beating Phil Taylor John Part has done it all at the Winter Gardens – apart from actually winning the World Matchplay. The Canadian great's first memories of the legendary venue are of its oppressively hot conditions, at times, during the days when fans could still smoke inside. He has brought the house down with a nine-darter and is part of a tiny band of players to have beaten 16-time winner Phil Taylor. In more recent years, Part has been part of the Sky Sports commentary team, giving him a front-row seat as the greats of today chisel their place into the annals of one of darts' most historic theatres. While he may not have lifted the Matchplay trophy, Part's memories of Blackpool are overwhelmingly positive. The three-time world champion recalled: 'I always enjoyed it. It wasn't always the most comfortable place to play in terms of climate. It could get quite hot and in the earliest days of the event, there was still smoking inside. 'There would be a lack of oxygen in high temperatures. It could be quite gruelling in those early days. It was quite a factor. A lot has changed since then.' Part is one of just nine players in PDC Matchplay history to have nailed a nine-darter. He says his perfect leg felt extra special as it came in front of darts' most knowledgeable fans, even if it was in a losing effort against Mark Webster in 2011. 'We always rated it the best venue with the best, most knowledgeable fans,' said Part, who is pondering a PDC Tour comeback. 'On that side of things, you couldn't ask for any more. It is a fantastic and historic darts venue now. 'I was very happy to get that nine-darter in front of that crowd. It was later in my career. It shocked everybody, maybe including myself! I wasn't throwing that well when it happened and I kind of made a match out of it, even though I lost [10-8].' In an era when it was rare to see anyone but on the winner's roll of honour, Part was runner-up twice. His first final appearance, in 2002, saw him push the Power all the way before eventually losing 18-16. 'It really was breathtaking to play in finals there,' added Darth Marple. 'The first final, against Phil, I wasn't paying a lot of attention to what was going on in the audience. 'I trusted they weren't going to be negative. I knew they liked watching good darts, and I was trying to deliver that.I came quite close in that final with Phil but he just sprung up at the end. I got to 16 [legs] first but not to 18.' In 2005, Part knocked out Taylor, albeit in the quarter-finals. He admits the mental effort needed to defeat the sport's GOAT took its toll. He said: 'I was fortunate enough to beat him in a quarter-final a few years after that. 'My strengths, when it came to dealing with someone like Phil, actually came in the sets format, when I could afford to be a little more up and down in my game. 'But at my best in career, my standard was quite high. Although it wasn't Phil's standard, I could still compete with him and the best in the game.' Despite beating Taylor, Part didn't feel like he had one hand on the trophy. He added: 'It was hard. I had a tough semi-final with Peter Manley. Prior to that [in 2003], in the Desert Classic, he benefited from me beating Phil in a semi [by winning the tournament]. It was like I had done the hard work [by beating Taylor] and Peter had reaped the benefits. 'I didn't want that to happen again. He was ahead of me in the semi-finals of the Matchplay. I rallied [to win 18-16] but it was pretty draining, especially off the back of beating Phil, which was very draining. 'I never felt like it was mine because there were some very tricky opponents, even though I beat Phil. That's why it was better to beat Phil in a final, then you couldn't mess it up!' After seeing off Manley, Part faced another top star of the era in Colin Lloyd, who prevailed 18-12. He said: 'It wasn't the best match we ever had but it reminds me of the calibre of the matches me and Colin would have. It was phenomenal at times. 'They didn't have averages at every tournament back then but we'd have 110 [average] matches. There was no doubt in Colin's abilities and how deserving he was to win major titles. It was appropriate that we had a major final against each other. 'People think darts is more competitive now but believe me, back in those days there weren't a lot of easy games. You can't trust averages all the time.'

PAU opens training centre for UPSC aspirants
In a step to guide Punjab's youth towards careers in civil services, the Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) inaugurated the state training centre for IAS, PCS, and other competitive exams, at the Shaheed Bhagat Singh Auditorium in the Students' Home. PAU vice-chancellor Satbir Singh Gosal, praised the Punjab Government's initiative to establish such centres across the state. He said the centre at PAU, the first of its kind at the university, would be instrumental in shaping the future of aspiring bureaucrats and scholars. Highlighting the vital contribution of civil servants and agricultural scientists to nation-building, Gosal emphasised that the centre will provide free coaching to meritorious students, especially those from financially weak backgrounds. He added that a dedicated building for the centre is already in the pipeline and students will have full access to PAU's central library and other academic facilities. Director of students' welfare, Nirmal Jaura, elaborated on the centre's purpose, calling it a step towards equal opportunity in education and public service. He informed the audience that PAU's centre is among eight, recently approved by the Punjab Government to train candidates for top government roles including IAS, IPS, PCS, IRS, and ARS. Jaura noted that a qualifying test, to be conducted by Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, will be used to select deserving students, who will also be eligible for scholarships. Gursharanjit Singh Sandhu, principal of Government SCD College, lauded the initiative as a 'guiding light' for students determined to join civil services. The advisory panel includes top officials like the PAU vice-chancellor, director of higher education, deputy commissioner of Ludhiana, and PAU registrar, while the working committee is headed by Vipan Kumar Rampal with a team of dedicated faculty members. As part of the inaugural ceremony, two outstanding students were honoured by the vice-chancellor. Parisdeep Aulakh, from the College of Horticulture and Forestry, secured an All-India Rank of 172 in UPSC CAPF 2024. Sourav, an alumnus of the College of Agriculture and now assistant director with MSME, was also recognised for his achievements.

The event was organised under the global theme 'Be Part of the Plan', with the aim to promote environmental awareness. The ceremony supported by the National Biodiversity Authority through the Punjab Biodiversity Board and the Punjab State Council for Science and Technology, Chandigarh, drew participation of around 250 students. The highlight of the day was an expert lecture by Renu Bhardwaj, former professor at Guru Nanak Dev University, on 'How to Sustain Development and Preserve Biodiversity.' Bhardwaj captivated the audience by addressing the urgent need to protect natural resources amid growing environmental challenges like climate change, urban sprawl, and industrialisation. Chief guest RIS Gill, estate officer, PAU, spoke about the root causes of biodiversity erosion and stressed the importance of its conservation through sustainable practices. The programme also included several interactive student competitions such as poster-making and slogan-writing. The poster making competition was triumphed by Jasmandeep Kaur, Dhami Kapila, and Mehakpreet Kaur while Tanya Kaur, Arppita Sharma, and Avreet Kaur bagged prizes in slogan writing. Concluding the event, GPS Dhillon, head of the department, highlighted PAU's commitment to biodiversity conservation, especially through nursery production of traditional tree species.
