Pawan Kalyan’s much-anticipated ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ faced a significant dip at the box office on its fifth day, earning just Rs 2.32 crore nett in India. The steep decline comes despite the makers’ effort to edit and re-release portions of the film, particularly scenes with poor VFX, which had previously drawn criticism.

Struggles Continue Despite Re-Edits; ₹100 Crore Mark Looks Distant
Even after a silent re-release with VFX improvements, ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ hasn’t shown the expected rebound. With a total domestic box office collection of Rs Rs 77.57 crore nett over five days, the film now faces a tough road ahead to reach the Rs 100 crore mark in India.
Day-wise India Box Office Collection (including premieres):
Day 0 (Premieres): Rs 12.75 crore
Day 1: Rs 34.75 crore
Day 2: Rs 8 crore
Day 3: Rs 9.15 crore
Day 4: Rs 10.6 crore
Day 5: Rs 2.32 crore
Total: Rs 77.57 crore
While there was a brief uptick over the weekend, Monday’s drastic fall of over 50% signals that the film might not sustain momentum during the weekdays. Whether the re-edited version can lure more audiences in the coming days remains to be seen.
