Hari Hara Veera Mallu Day 1 India Box Office: Pawan Kalyan starrer takes an underwhelming Rs 50 crore start including premieres
Hari Hara Veera Mallu, directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and Jyothi Krishna, and starring Pawan Kalyan, Bobby Deol, Nidhhi Agerwal and others, has taken a below par start at the Indian box office, taking Pawan Kalyan 's star power into consideration. The movie has packed an opening day of Rs 50.25 crore, which is not at all bad as a standalone number. But we are talking about Pawan Kalyan's big budget pan-Indian film, and this number also includes premiere gross of significantly over Rs 10 crore, meaning that the actual day 1 is well under Rs 40 crore. Hari Hara Veera Mallu Grosses Rs 50 Crore In India And Is Pawan Kalyan's Biggest Opener But... Hari Hara Veera Mallu is comfortably Pawan Kalyan's biggest day 1 opener. Vakeel Saab and Bheemla Naayak, both opened to under Rs 40 crore at the India box office. However, that's a deceptive way to look at the collections since average ticket price of Telugu films is significantly higher than what it used to be. The former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh made sure to keep the ticket prices in check, and also had other rules with respect to the start time of films and more. With these issues no longer in the way from the perspective of the actors and producers, the day 1 potential is much higher and Hari Hara Veera Mallu has quite clearly not matched its potential. The Territorial Breakdown Of The Day 1 Box Office Of Hari Hara Veera Mallu Is As Under The reception of Hari Hara Veera Mallu is negative. Heavy drops are being seen in the collections of the movie on day 2. The movie may sustain at low levels till Sunday and then it should officially be game over for the film. In all likelihood, the India gross collections of the movie will fail to hit Rs 100 crore gross. With overseas collections also not promising enough, this shall be one of Pawan Kalyan's biggest theatrical disasters. There was a Part 2 planned for the film and reportedly, 20 percent of it has been shot too. It is unlikely that we may get a part 2 to this film now. Hari Hara Veera Mallu In Theatres

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Day 1 Box Office Collection: Pawan Kalyan's Film Roars Into Theatres
Last Updated: The total collection of Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu includes Rs 12.7 crore from premiere shows and Rs 31.5 crore from its theatrical release day. Pawan Kalyan's much-anticipated action-adventure Hari Hara Veera Mallu hit theatres on July 24 and the numbers are hinting at a blockbuster project. The historical epic has registered the biggest opening of the actor's career, with a collection of Rs 44.20 crore net in India on its first day. According to the industry tracker website Sacnilk, the box office collection includes Rs 12.7 crore from premiere shows and Rs 31.5 crore from its theatrical release day. As for Pawan Kalyan 's past releases, Bro opened at Rs 30.5 crore whereas Bheemla Nayak brought in Rs 37.15 crore on the first day of its premiere. His film Vakeel Saab, on the other hand, collected Rs 40.10 crore and it is safe to say, Hari Hara Veera Mallu has taken the lead, despite the delay for around five years. Well, that's Pawan Kalyan's star power for you. Hari Hara Veera Mallu Vs 2025 Releases In terms of 2025 releases, Hari Hara Veera Mallu failed to surpass Ram Charan's Game Changer. The film opened to a collection of Rs 51 crore. However, Pawan Kalyan's latest release has left behind some successful films like Daaku Maharaaj (Rs 25.35 crore), Sankranthiki Vasthunam (Rs 23 crore) and Kuberaa (Rs 14.75 crore). Not bad, though. About Hari Hara Veera Mallu Set in the Mughal era, the story of the epic drama follows Pawan Kalyan's Veera Mallu, an outlaw who challenges the empire. Bobby Deol plays Aurangzeb, whereas Nidhhi Agerwal essays the role of devadasi Panchami. Produced by AM Rathnam and music by MM Keeravaani, the film is nothing short of a grand spectacle. Pawan Kalyan On Hari Hara Veera Mallu's Sequel In a recent media interaction in Amaravati, Pawan Kalyan said, 'We will plan HHVM's sequel depending on the box office collection of part one and my schedule. We also need God's blessings for the sequel to happen." Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and A M Jyothi Krishna, the film faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Pawan Kalyan's political commitments. The anticipation was high, especially since the project marks the actor's first release after becoming the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Fans were eager to see their favourite star back in action and the opening numbers are nothing but a reflection of their love for him. view comments First Published: July 25, 2025, 12:51 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu to post 2025's 2nd-biggest opening?
After two years, Pawan Kalyan is set to return to the big screen. Hari Hara Veera Mallu, his highly anticipated period actioner, has been eagerly anticipated by fans. The movie has created a lot of buzz before its debut, and early estimates indicate it will have a strong start at the box office. Krish Jagarlamudi is the director of Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which is scheduled for release on July 24. Early estimates suggest the movie could open as Tollywood's second-highest grosser of 2025, behind only Ram Charan's Game Changer. Hari Hara Veera Mallu Box Office Collection Day 1 The teaser for the movie has already had a significant impact on social media, and fans' excitement is evident. However, according to Koimoi, the movie will still fall well short of Vakeel Saab, which brought in Rs 40.1 crores on opening day. Despite its massive budget reportedly exceeding ₹300 crore, early projections suggest a relatively underwhelming day 1 collection at the Indian box office, raising concerns about the film's initial reception. According to estimates, Hari Hara Veera Mallu would have the second-largest opening for Tollywood in 2025. Except Ram Charan's Game Changer, which opened at a whopping 54 crore, this movie is likely going to surpass every Telugu film released this year.
