Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Sword vs Spirit, starring Power Star Pawan Kalyan, hit cinemas last Thursday with grand premieres held the evening before. Despite massive pre-release hype and fan celebrations, the film’s reception has been underwhelming, especially in non-Telugu states.
One major point of concern raised by fans and general audiences alike has been the high ticket prices, which may have contributed to lower-than-expected footfalls. Now, there’s a welcome update – the makers of HHVM have decided to normalize ticket prices across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana starting tomorrow.
This move is expected to boost occupancy and bring more viewers back to the theaters over the weekend. With reduced rates and word-of-mouth gradually improving in some circles, Hari Hara Veera Mallu may still have a chance to stage a recovery.
The historical epic features Nidhhi Agerwal as the female lead, while Bobby Deol, Nassar, Sunil, Dalip Tahil, Adithya, Sachin Khedekar, and others play pivotal roles. The film is jointly directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and Jyothi Krishna, with music by MM Keeravaani. AM Rathnam presents the film under Mega Surya Production, and A. Dayakar Rao serves as the producer.
