Hari Hara Veera Mallu opened to a modest response in North America, grossing $914K (Rs 7.9 Cr) from premieres and Day 1 collections.
The premieres alone contributed $800K, indicating limited momentum going into opening day.
The film earned $838K from the USA and CAD$76K in Canada, reflecting underwhelming turnout despite star power and pre-release hype.
Given the film’s breakeven target of $2.5 million, this performance falls significantly short.
To recover, HHVM now depends heavily on the weekend surge.
With mixed buzz and growing social media scrutiny, the film needs strong word-of-mouth and repeat audiences to avoid losses.
All eyes are on its Saturday and Sunday numbers.
