Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 (2025) is a Telugu historical-action-adventure set in the 17th-century Mughal Empire, starring Pawan Kalyan as Veera Mallu — a celebrated outlaw who rises against oppressive imperial forces. When Mallu learns that the tyrannical Emperor Aurangzeb (played by Bobby Deol) is in control of the legendary Koh-i-Noor diamond, which symbolizes both wealth and dominance, he embarks on a daring mission to recover it and free a city suffering under Mughal injustice. Alongside allies and his love interest (Nidhhi Agerwal), Veera Mallu uses his cunning, physical prowess and moral conviction to challenge the empire’s power, instigating a larger struggle for dharma (justice/righteousness). The film combines large-scale action, period sets, and grand musical pieces, though the second half’s pacing and visual effects draw criticism in many reviews.
