Hari Hara Veera Mallu Locks Crisp Runtime Ahead of Release—Here’s the Duration
Power star Pawan Kalyan’s much-awaited period action drama Hari Hara Veera Mallu (HHVM) is all set for a grand theatrical release on July 24, 2025. With post-production work nearing completion, the film’s runtime has become a trending topic among fans and industry circles.
Given that HHVM is a lavishly mounted period film, expectations were leaning toward a runtime of over 2 hours and 50 minutes. However, the makers have taken a more audience-friendly approach, reportedly finalizing the runtime at 2 hours and 40 minutes, according to overseas ticketing platforms.
This is being seen as a smart move, especially in an era where tighter runtimes often result in better audience engagement and stronger box office pull. A 2-hour 40-minute duration is now being considered a “healthy runtime,” especially for big-budget period dramas that feature extensive action, drama, and songs.
With Pawan Kalyan at the center, viewers can expect power-packed fight sequences and emotionally driven storytelling. However, the team is said to have structured the film to maintain a balanced pace without overindulging in any one aspect—making it a complete entertainer.
Hari Hara Veera Mallu is directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and Jyothi Krishna, with music composed by MM Keeravani. As anticipation builds for this epic saga, the tight runtime only adds to the film’s promise of delivering an engaging cinematic experience without dragging.
