TL;DR:“Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1” starring Pawan Kalyan crossed ₹75 crore net in India within five days of release (July 24–28, 2025). Despite a shaky second day and mixed reviews, weekend buzz and positive word‑of‑mouth revived collections. Whether it can hit ₹100 crore depends on weekday holds and wider audience appeal.
📽️ Epic Debut, Rocky Ride, and Bounce Back
Mega Opening Day: Paid previews on July 23 delivered around ₹12.75 cr, followed by a strong Thursday net of ₹34.75 cr across languages 🇮🇳
Day 2 Crash: Friday saw a steep fall to about ₹8 cr (−77% from Day 1), signalling audience hesitation
Weekend Recovery: Recouped modestly with ₹9–9.15 cr on Saturday and ₹10.5–11.5 cr on Sunday, still the lowest Sunday of any Pawan Kalyan release post‑COVID
Day 5 Plateau: Early Monday estimates show only ₹0.04 cr added—but total stands at approximately ₹75.6 cr net
🎬 Why the Mixed Response and Sudden Dip?
Reviews & Feedback: Social media buzz is divided, especially about the second half. Fans worry whether Part 2 is worth the build‑up
Pawan Kalyan Factor: While his massive fanbase ensured a strong start, previous films with similar openings fizzled fast. Examples include Bro and Bheemla Nayak
Story Resonance: The film’s historical narrative—Veera Mallu’s mission to steal the Koh‑i‑Noor under Mughal rule—has niche appeal. It may not sustain pan‑India attention beyond the core Telugu base
💸 Can HHVM Cross ₹100 Cr?
That’s uncertain. Its growth over the weekend shows promise, but:
Gradual weekday consistency is necessary
Mixed reviews and limited wider interest could cap its run
Media eyes whether Part 1 can cross ₹100 crore net total

🧾 MediaFx Opinion (People’s Perspective)
The film’s massive budget and hype centered on one superstar didn’t translate into sustained mass support, especially with ordinary viewers voicing mixed opinions. While fan loyalty delivered early numbers, the interest quickly faded when the storyline didn't resonate. From the people's lens, cinema should serve society—with stories that connect and uplift beyond glamour and set pieces. Authenticity, inclusivity, and collective resonance—not just hero worship—drive lasting impact. 💪🏼
