Film Story: The struggle of a brave warrior
Hari Hara Veera Mallu is set during the Mughal rule in the 17th century. This story is about a fictional bandit Veera Mallu, who later becomes a mass leader. Veera Mallu, who is a common man at first, embarks on a mission through time – to steal the Kohinoor diamond from the Mughal Empire.
The film dramatises history but at the same time makes it so entertaining that the audience is glued to their seats. The script is full of twists, emotions and power-packed dialogues.
Pawan Kalyan's performance: Powerful and passionate
Pawan Kalyan's performance is the biggest strength of the film. He has brought to life the valour, compassion, anger and sensitivity of Veera Mallu's character all at once. His action scenes, sword fights and emotional scenes thrill the audience.
His screen presence is so powerful that every time he appears on screen, the theatre erupts in applause. Especially the scene when he turns into a bandit for the first time, the audience finds themselves jumping out of their seats.
Direction and Writing: Krish's outstanding performance
Krish Jagarlamudi, who is a master of historical films, has presented this film with great grandeur and precision. Be it the set design, background research or dialogues - his hard work is visible in every aspect.
The writing of the film does slow down a bit at places, but the story picks up pace by the climax.
Cinematography and VFX: A grand experience
Gnanashekhar VS's cinematography is superb. He has depicted 17th century India so vividly that every frame looks like a painting. The use of VFX is also effective, especially in the war scenes and the security arrangements of the Kohinoor diamond.
Many scenes of the film are shot so beautifully that the audience is mesmerized.
Music and Background Score: Soul-touching
The music composed by M.M. Keeravani is the soul of the film. Be it a heroic track or a sad moment — the music elevates every scene. The background score is used so effectively that the audience feels immersed in that era.
Supporting Cast: A pillar of strength
Nidhih Agarwal plays the lead role opposite Pawan Kalyan in the film and has done her part well. Her character may be a bit limited in scope, but she has given depth to it with her acting.
Arjun Rampal, who plays Aurangzeb, is extremely impressive. His character makes the film even more interesting.
Action Scenes and Stunt Choreography: Tremendous and hair-raising
The film has several great action sequences which are made even more powerful with 3D choreography and high-definition VFX. From sword fighting to horse riding and melee scenes, every action scene is presented like a thriller.
Dialogues and dialogue delivery: The soul of the film
"I don't want to make history, I want to break history" — there are many such dialogues that get people clapping and whistling in the theatres. Pawan Kalyan's dialogue delivery is unmatched. Both his voice and style keep the audience captivated.
Are there any shortcomings?
The film is long, around 2 hours 45 minutes, and at times its pace slows down. Also, some characters are not explored in depth, which makes them seem a bit incomplete.
But these minor shortcomings do not affect the overall film much.
Box office prospects: Signs of becoming a blockbuster
The film has had a great opening. Hari Hara Veera Mallu has earned well in big cities and tier 2-3 cities on the first day itself. Trade analysts believe that if the film continues at this pace, it will not be far behind in joining the 100 crore club.
Hari Hara Veera Mallu vs Other Period Movies
If we compare this movie to Baahubali, Padmaavat or Tanhaji, it has elements of all those movies — but Pawan Kalyan's stardom makes it different.
This movie will be remembered not just for its action but also for its patriotism, social message and saga of bravery.
Fans react on social media
After the movie's release, #HariHaraVeeraMallu started trending on Twitter. Fans praised Pawan Kalyan's acting and the grandeur of the movie. Many users called it the "biggest Telugu blockbuster of 2025".
