Another one commented, "#HariHaraVeeramallu turns out to be a disappointing film, mainly due to a poorly written and executed second half that completely fails after a strong and promising first half. The way the second half diverges from the tone and direction of the first makes the first half pointless, Whoever made that decision is primarily responsible for the result and deserves the blame. Apart from Keeravani’s outstanding background score and Pawan Kalyan’s interesting portrayal of Veeramallu, everything else falls flat and fails to leave an impact. And CG, the less said the better calling it disastrous would be an understatement. Makers have clearly took the audience for granted, relying solely on star power to carry the film."
