Hari Hara Veera Mallu Movie Review:
The movie is 2 hours and 30 minutes long, and it has received 860 ratings on Google. The majority of the audiences have given a 5-star rating, followed by 1 star being the second-highest rating. The highest rating is 4 out of 5. Meanwhile, a mild portion of audiences have also given 2 and 3 stars out of 5.
The average audience rating comes to around 4.3 stars out of 5.
An audience member named Naga S Cherukupalle, who gave 4 stars to Hari Hara Veera Mallu, said, "Hari Hara Veera Mallu roars onto the screen with the soul of a warrior and the heart of a patriot. Power Star Pawan Kalyan shines in a tailor-made role, exuding strength, conviction, and unmatched screen presence. Every scene he's in feels elevated and alive." He added, "The screenplay is racy, and the storytelling flows seamlessly—never once did it feel like a 2-hour and 42-minute film. The pacing keeps you invested, and the patriotic undertones give it a strong emotional backbone."
A user, bsvsatyam who gave 5 stars to the movie, said, "Hari Hara Veera Mallu is not just a film - it's a celebration of valor, legacy, and the larger-than-life presence of Power Star Pawan Kalyan, who effortlessly blends heroism with heart," adding, "What makes Hari Hara Veera Mallu truly special is how it reflects the spirit of the man behind the character. Off-screen, Pawan Kalyan leads with principles and purpose; on-screen, he brings that same fire to a role that's heroic, poetic, and deeply inspiring."
However, RamBabu Parvathaneni of CineJosh, who is known for reviewing Telugu films, said, "Altogether, Hari Hara Veera Mallu delivers a high-octane blend of action and emotion."
But, RamBabu's note also said, "The story is just simple, revolving around Kohinoor, fight for it involving the Mughals, Britishers, Golkonda Qutubshahis, Portugese and Pawan Kalyan. The director wove the emotions quite well trying to connect chords talking about Sanatana Dharma, Cruelty of Mughals but at times got carried away with the stardom of Pawan Kalyan and so other characters turnedout to be weak."
Hence, he added, Cinejosh goes with a 2.5 rating out of 5 for Hari Hara Veera Mallu.
