Hari Hara Veera Mallu box office collection day 7: Pawan Kalyan's saviour act might not be enough to save the film.

Overview

  • Directors Krish and Jyothi Krisna publicly admitted that a handful of the film’s 4,400 CGI shots were below par and defended those as minor issues.
  • An updated cut began rolling out in cinemas on July 26–27, trimming or removing the most criticized VFX sequences.
  • By July 30 the epic has netted around ₹79 crore domestically and ₹105 crore worldwide, well below its production outlay.
  • Weekday collections remain weak, with Day 6 and Day 7 earnings dipping to approximately ₹1.3 cr and ₹1.25 cr respectively.
  • Despite record advance ticket sales and a ₹60 cr OTT deal with Amazon Prime Video, its theatrical returns leave breakeven and future profitability in doubt.
