Power Star Pawan Kalyan Movie 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' review..

Varahimedia.com Online News, Hyderabad, July 24, 2025: The highly anticipated big-budget film ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu,’ starring Jana Sena Chief and Power Star Pawan Kalyan, saw a grand worldwide release today. After over five years in production, the film finally hit screens to a festive atmosphere in theaters, with fans flocking to early morning shows. Outside cinemas, enthusiastic supporters celebrated with milk ablutions for flex banners, garlands, and fireworks.

Audience Verdict: Fan Euphoria Meets Critical Scrutiny
Following its release, the film has ignited widespread discussion on social media and among viewers. While Pawan Kalyan’s ardent fans are declaring it a ‘blockbuster,’ film critics and general audiences are offering a more mixed response.

Highlights:
Pawan Kalyan’s Commanding Presence: The film’s core strength is undoubtedly Pawan Kalyan. He fully embodied the character of ‘Veera Mallu,’ delivering a captivating performance, especially in the action sequences where his screen presence and expressions were outstanding. His dialogues on righteousness resonated deeply with the audience. This is undeniably a Pawan Kalyan one-man show.

Spectacular Action Sequences: The action choreography stands out as a major highlight. The fight sequences at Machilipatnam port, the massive Charminar battle, and the wrestling match in Kolluru had fans cheering. The combat scenes in the Mughal-controlled village in the second half also added to the excitement.

M.M. Keeravani’s Soulful Music: Oscar winner M.M. Keeravani’s score forms the backbone of ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu.’ His background music breathed life into the scenes, elevating emotional intensity. The songs, too, were well-placed and complemented the narrative.

Grand Production Values: The film boasts impressive production design. The team successfully recreated the grandeur of the Mughal era and Machilipatnam with elaborate and realistic sets, including Charminar, Red Fort, and Machilipatnam port.

Bobby Deol’s Impact: Bollywood actor Bobby Deol, as Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, leaves a significant mark. Though his screen time is limited, his powerful performance was engaging. The absence of a direct confrontation between him and Pawan Kalyan in this part builds anticipation for the sequel.

Solid Foundation for Part 2: Released as ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Sword vs. Spirit,’ the film effectively lays a strong foundation for its sequel. Director Krish Jagarlamudi’s vision is evident in several scenes, and the roles of supporting actors like Nidhhi Agerwal and Sathyaraj were handled well.

Box Office Outlook:
‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ is poised for a massive opening day collection. Reports suggest it has already grossed approximately ₹45 crore worldwide through advance bookings. Despite mixed critical reviews, Pawan Kalyan’s star power is expected to draw audiences to theaters throughout the first weekend, with industry pundits predicting strong collections even beyond.

Overall, ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ is a treat for Pawan Kalyan fans. His commanding screen presence, electrifying action sequences, and Keeravani’s music are the film’s key attractions. While some minor narrative and VFX inconsistencies exist, this is a definite watch for Power Star enthusiasts.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5).
