Pawan Kalyan’s much-hyped period action drama Hari Hara Veera Mallu released in theatres on July 24, 2025, but the box office numbers were far from impressive. Initially, fans expected the film to arrive quickly on OTT to recover some momentum, with August 15 set as the release date on Amazon Prime Video. However, fresh reports indicate that the streaming premiere might be pushed to August 21 or even August 28.
The reason for this delay is simple yet strategic. Rajinikanth’s Coolie is set to release in theatres on August 14, and Prime Video reportedly wants the superstar’s film to have its moment in the spotlight without another major title competing for attention.
While this makes sense from a marketing perspective, it poses a problem for Hari Hara Veera Mallu. The film’s underwhelming theatrical performance has already drained much of the excitement, and postponing its OTT debut risks losing whatever little interest remains. For audiences who skipped it on the big screen, there is little incentive to wait longer, especially when Coolie and other upcoming blockbusters like War 2 are grabbing the headlines.
The film itself follows Veera Mallu, a heroic outlaw tasked with stealing the legendary Koh-i-Noor diamond from Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. Pawan Kalyan leads the charge as the titular hero, with Bobby Deol stepping in as the powerful antagonist. The movie boasts grand visuals, elaborate action sequences, and a compelling premise. However, critics and audiences agree that the execution fell short of its ambitious scale.
Given the current scenario, the best move for Hari Hara Veera Mallu might be to arrive on OTT as soon as possible, riding on whatever curiosity is left. Any further delay risks the film fading completely from public conversation.
