A regional ruler (Sachin Khedekar), impressed by his skillful theft, calls Veera Mallu (Pawan Kalyan) and gives him a secret mission: to steal a stockpile of valuable diamonds. During this mission, Veera Mallu encounters Panchami (Nidhhi Agerwal), a devadasi.
 
Soon after, he is presented with an even more difficult task by the Nawab of Golconda. That is to recover the fabled Kohinoor diamond, a representation of the pride of the Deccan that is currently in the hands of Mughal emperor aurangzeb and is secured inside the formidable walls of Delhi's red Fort. Veera Mallu embarks on this dangerous adventure with a deeper, more intimate calling in addition to a promise. Will his bold mission be successful?

Prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, "Hari Hara Veera Mallu" was first produced under Krish's direction and screenplay.  But in the end, the protracted delays caused pawan kalyan and krish to have creative disagreements, which led to the latter's exit from the film. The picture was then finished by jyothi Krishna, the son of producer A.M. Rathnam.  Although the tonal and stylistic differences between the two parts are fairly obvious, the film is ultimately a collaborative directorial effort.  It becomes more and more clear that jyothi Krishna's influence can be seen throughout the second half. 

The opening twenty minutes of the film are pretty bland and uninspired, setting the tone for a slow start.  The story only picks up steam when Pawan Kalyan's character moves into the world of sachin khedekar and Nidhhi Agerwal.  The movie is able to sustain a modest level of interest from that moment until the intermission.  The action set-piece at the monument and the pursuit scene through Charminar's alleys are especially captivating, while the plot twist involving Nidhhi Agerwal's character adds a sense of mystery.  The pre-interval stretch functions effectively despite sporadic bursts of predictability. 

But the second half gets off to an even worse start.  After an uninteresting horseback ride through the mountains on the way to delhi, it begins with an inadvertently humorous scene in which pawan kalyan uses pure willpower to tame a lion.  The watching experience is severely diminished by the poor visual effects that taint these sequences.  The visual effects are of such low quality that a number of frames look shamefully amateurish and unpolished. 

In the second half, a number of overdrawn and inadvertently humorous scenes appear, as if they were written to fit Pawan Kalyan's off-screen persona rather than advance the plot.  The first is a strange scene in which Veera Mallu uses her intense gaze to tame a pack of wolves.  He then makes a detour to a Muslim community that is experiencing starvation, where he generously donates all of his resources.  He then goes on to protect them from tyrannical Muslim overlords after coming across a group of Brahmins doing a yagna to call for rain.  The viewer's patience is put to the test as these scenes are presented back-to-back and are interspersed with sanctimonious dialogue. 

Such historical action dramas require an engrossing soundtrack in addition to a compelling soundtrack.  Regretfully, MM keeravani is lacking in this area.  His re-recording work provides some support to the story, but it falls short of the emotional and cinematic peaks that one would expect from a film of this caliber, and the songs fall flat. There is absolutely no creativity in the cinematography.  The results are completely awful.  Episodes like "Rock Falling" when Veera Mallu leaves for delhi include cheesy, amateurish graphics.  Even the graphics were so poor in some spots that we can't see Pawan Kalyan's left eye. 

Overall, Too Many Cooks Spoil The Broth proverb suits this movie well!
