Hari Hara Veera Mallu X Review: The much-anticipated period action-drama Hari Hara Veera Mallu, starring Pawan Kalyan, has finally hit theatres. Social media is flooded with first reactions, and early reviews suggest that the film has failed to impress fans.

Calling it a “huge disappointment,” one user wrote, “We were excited for this magnum opus, but the film simply tests your patience. Nidhi Agarwal's outstanding performance is wasted. We're not sure why this film was even released. For those hoping for something exceptional, Hari Hara Veera Mallu is a huge disappointment overall.”

Another said the movie had potential but was poorly executed: “The film had good potential on paper but fails miserably in execution. The outdated direction, coupled with equally outdated and crass acting, drags it down. PK looked odd on screen. Apart from Keeravani's BGM, none of the technical aspects work. Even the forced narrative of Dharma saviour couldn’t save this one.”

One more review added: “Overall, barring the relatively engaging pre-interval stretch and a single sequence in the second half, Hari Hara Veera Mallu is marred by mediocrity plagued by uninspired storytelling, uneven visuals, and embarrassingly poor visual effects.”

Some users even questioned Pawan Kalyan’s performance. “Pawan Kalyan seemed really uninterested in acting. He’s no longer the actor we grew up watching,” said one.

Calling it a boring watch, another viewer commented: “VFX is much worse than what we saw in the trailer. Everything looked really cheap. Over-loud music, lazy writing, back-to-back pointless battle sequences, and Pawan Kalyan’s uninspired dialogue delivery make this a BORING watch!”

However, hardcore fans defended the film and hailed it as a blockbuster.

One fan wrote: "Very good first half.
Second half – first 40 mins average,
Last 40 mins are good!!
Keeravani’s score is the heart of the film
Kusthi fight & pre-climax fights stand out.
Songs are good.
VFX is below par!!"

Another fan said: “Hari Hara Veera Mallu isn’t just a film. It’s a storm. A spirit. A stand. Sword vs Spirit. History vs Power. Pawan Kalyan leads the charge.”
