Pawan Kalyan has returned to the big screen with Hari Hara Veera Mallu, and as expected, fans welcomed him with open arms. There were firecrackers and festival-like celebrations outside theatres, especially in the Telugu states. Looking at the advance booking trends, it was clear that no matter how the content is, the film will pull off a roaring day 1 collection solely due to the actor’s stardom. Now that the numbers have come, let’s find out how it opened at the worldwide box office.
Crosses 50 crore gross in India
The Tollywood period action drama enjoyed a superb response in the premiere shows scheduled on Wednesday (July 23).

How much did Hari Hara Veera Mallu earn at the worldwide box office on day 1?
Overseas, Hari Hara Veera Mallu has underperformed big time, especially in North America. While premieres were decent, the actual opening day was underwhelming due to not-so-good word-of-mouth. As a result, it has scored an estimated 11 crore gross internationally. Combining this with the Indian gross, the day 1 worldwide box office collection is 64.74 crore gross.
