After facing multiple delays, Pawan Kalyan starrer Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 has finally hit the screens today. While fans are expecting to cheer out loud for the Power Star as he is coming on the big screen after 2 years, let’s see whether it turns out to be an entertaining treat or not.
The plot begins in Kollur Mines in 1650, where a teenager finds a few pieces of raw diamonds while working. However, all the people there chase after him to claim them, as the King will reward them in exchange. He gets beaten, and finally, one of the workers manages to get the diamonds.
While he is frustrated, his uncle narrates to him the story of how a child got saved in the flood and was taken care of by Guru of the temple (Sathyaraj) and his family. Cut to 1659, where Aurangzeb (Bobby Deol) attacks his elder brother Dara Shikoh and kills him to become the emperor and later imprisons his father Shah Jahan.
The story now jumps to the present day in Machilipatnam, which is 1684, where a British high-ranking officer and his troop are protecting those diamond pieces. Only to be later stolen by Hari Hara Veera Mallu (Pawan Kalyan).
Later, Qutub Shah (Dalip Tahil) hires Veera Mallu to regain the Kohinoor diamond, which belongs to his Golconda and is now at the Delhi fort on Aurangzeb’s throne. Will he be able to complete the task?
Well, the film has sub-plots and sub-texts exploring Veera Mallu’s hidden motives, but it is a half-baked and dragged screenplay, which has marred the movie.
