Pawan Kalyan’s period action film Hari Hara Veera Mallu debuted in cinemas to enthusiastic fanfare, attracting large audiences and sparking considerable attention with its theatrical launch. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and Jyothi Krishna, the film has been in the spotlight for months due to its unique storyline, lavish production, and Pawan Kalyan’s powerful screen presence.

As the film hit cinemas mid-week, expectations were sky-high—not just from fans but also from industry insiders who predicted a record-breaking debut. Hari Hara Veera Mallu did manage to deliver a robust start; however, it fell short of surpassing the opening day collections of Ram Charan’s Game Changer, which remains the highest opener in recent memory.

Early estimates reveal that the film earned a net total of ₹44.20 crore in India, combining ₹12.7 crore from preview screenings on Wednesday and an additional ₹31.5 crore on Thursday, its official release day. These numbers mark a strong start for Pawan Kalyan, placing this film among the top openers of his career.

Although Hari Hara Veera Mallu had a strong start, it failed to surpass the massive ₹51 crore first-day earnings of Game Changer, which continues to dominate as the top opener. That said, Kalyan’s film outpaced several other recent releases, including Balakrishna’s Daaku Maharaaj and Dhanush’s Kuberaa, both of which recorded modest collections by comparison.

With mixed-to-positive word-of-mouth from audiences and a steady weekend ahead, all eyes are now on whether Hari Hara Veera Mallu can maintain its momentum and possibly reach the ₹100 crore mark in the coming days. The film’s commercial journey has only just begun, and its long-term box office success will hinge on repeat viewership and sustained interest.

While it may not have shattered records, Hari Hara Veera Mallu has undeniably reaffirmed Pawan Kalyan’s box office appeal and set the stage for a potentially successful theatrical run.
