The trailer of Hari Hara Veera Mallu was released today and has hooked many viewers, according to social media reactions.
The comments are pouring in — some highly positive, while others are from critics and detractors analyzing it with a more skeptical lens.
“Any film that showcases the tyranny faced by Hindus under Muslim rulers in history seems to have box-office potential. The trailer opens with the line, ‘Hindugaa jeevinchaalante pannu kattaalsina samayam…’ which sets the tone perfectly. This will surely open to a thunderous response,” wrote one netizen.
Another comment reads- “This is amazing — a sure-shot hit.”
A fan post states- “This will be the Chhavaa of Tollywood. Goosebump-inducing patriotism guaranteed.”
However, a detractor remarked- “This looks like an imitation of Sye Raa featuring Chiranjeevi. But unlike that, Pawan’s character here is fictional. Who's going to care about a made-up hero?”
One more skeptical voice posted- “It's good, but nothing new. The entire ambiance and content feel like deja vu — seen this many times before. In one line to say it is cliched but fine.”
A social media user even guessed the storyline- “Aurangzeb conquered Golkonda and defeated the Qutb Shahi kings. The film might portray the Qutb Shahis in a positive light, with Pawan Kalyan’s character fighting against Aurangzeb. Given the Hindu-centric dialogues, Pawan might gain support as a Sanatana Dharma proponent.”
Another netizen shared a more balanced view-“Pawan Kalyan is arriving with the right film at the right time. For years, there was zero hype around this film. Even after the songs were released, nothing worked. But now, this trailer promises an action-packed spectacle. Still, the content must not feel repetitive like Chhavaa or Sye Raa. Only with smart dialogues and intelligent drama can it truly succeed.”
Overall, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, presented by A.M. Ratnam, directed by Jyothi Krishna, with music by M.M. Keeravaani and produced by A. Dayakar Rao, is all set to hit the screens on July 24th. Bobby Deol and Nidhhi Agerwal play other key roles in this historical action drama.
