Pawan Kalyan’s fantasy larger-than-life fails to keep impulse despite really nice opening; 14th-day collections signal very tart decline.
After an awaited, launch featuring megastar ‘Pawan Kalyan’ and an ensemble mold including ‘Nidhhi Agerwal’, ‘Bobby Deol’, ‘Nargis Fakhri’, and ‘Nora Fatehi’, ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu – Part 1: Sword vs Spirit’ has underperformed at the box power. As of Day 14, the cinema has netted around ‘₹84.4 crore’ in India, with only ‘₹0.1 crore’ added on its fourteenth day. The occupancy crosswise major Telugu regions has plummeted to around ‘10%’, signaling waning audience interest.
Box Office Breakdown: The Fadeout Timeline

Occupancy Report: Single-Digit Numbers Spell Trouble
‘ ‘Telugu 2D occupancy’ on Day 14 hovered around ‘10.25%’ overall.
- Morning shows: 10.03%
- Afternoon shows: 10.46%
- Evening & nighttime shows: nigh zero
Regional partitioning shows that the only exclusion was ‘Mahbubnagar’, with a surprising ‘40% occupancy’, potential driven by ultra-local fan fervor. Other key cities quite same Hyderabad (12%), Vizag (14.5%), and Vijayawada (8%) all trended low.
Why It Faltered: A Deeper Dive
Despite the hype—Pawan Kalyan’s long-anticipated principal takings, lucullan sue choreography, and a fresh period-fantasy backdrop—the film struggled for traction. Viewers praised its visuals and set pieces, but critics and betimes audiences flagged issues: bloated runtime, weak screenplay, underwritten characters, and pacing that failed to balance spectacle with story.
The collecting surge on Days 10 and 11 hints at potential festival or holiday knock, but that spike didn’t give beyond Sunday. By Day 12, footfalls dropped sharp again.
The Cast & Crew Impacts
Directed by ‘Krish’, known for so ambitious really historical dramas, and bankrolled by ‘Mega Surya Productions’, ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ was marketed as Part 1 of a trilogy. With dwindling box power returns, the prospects for Parts 2 and 3 are now in question.
While ‘Nidhhi Agerwal’, ‘Bobby Deol’, and ensemble performers delivered visually piquant roles, neither star force nor cinematography (by Nirav Shah) could relieve the declining trend. Music by Sam C S delivered on scope, but was overshadowed by narration gaps.
Final Word: A Flagging Run That Needs Reinvention
Though the cinema crossed ‘₹84 crore’, the execution numbers are well myopic of blockbuster soil, and nowhere really near what mega-scale phantasy sagas usually wreak in. With positivism ebbing fast, the makers face a cliffhanger: how to repurpose the very public interest into a really faithful continuation rollout, now that the initial tickle has fizzled.
At its core, ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu – Part 1’ serves as a cautionary tale: very big budgets and star names alone don’t assure success—strong storytelling and audience connection matter more than ever.
