🔱🔥 “Pawan Kalyan’s Epic Comeback or Epic Flop? Hari Hara Veera Mallu Sparks 🔥 Debate!”

TL;DR:Power Star Pawan Kalyan makes a grand return with "Hari Hara Veera Mallu," a high‑budget Telugu epic packed with glamorous action, Marxist‑style heroics, and promise—but mixed reviews, poor VFX, and a weak second half have viewers split. Box office opening strong, but critics say it’s style over substance. 🎬⚖️

🤔 MediaFx POV (People’s Lens)

From the perspective of the working class and dharma, the film’s core message—redistributing wealth and fighting Mughal greed—resonates with us. 💪 But why spend ₹250 cr of public-backed resources on flashy VFX when basic storytelling and emotional connection fail? 🎭

Our folks deserve a hero who fights for equality—not one who glitters but forgets soul. We need films that uplift real labor, real struggle, not hiding weak scripts behind big budgets. 🎓 Let cinema serve us, not just entertain us.
