Despite mixed reviews and negative talk on social media, Hari Hara Veeramallu opened strong with a ₹42 crore share in the Telugu states. Collections dipped on day two to ₹3.5 crore but rebounded from day three, nearing ₹200 crore gross over the long weekend.

Though the film faced low initial hype and poor VFX criticism, Pawan Kalyan’s star power drove success. For a film delayed for five years, this response is impressive and sets high expectations for his upcoming movie OG. Weekday collections remain steady, boosted by Nagula Chavithi.
