Haiwaan Box Office Collection Day 2: Saif Ali Khan And Akshay Kumar's Film Faces Early Setback, Collects ₹2.50 Crore After 16% Drop

Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan's film Haiwaan is struggling to gain momentum at the box office. The film, which hit theatres on September 11, is directed by Priyadarshan and is the official Hindi remake of the filmmaker's 2016 Malayalam film Oppam.

Haiwaan Box Office Collection Day 2: Saif Ali Khan And Akshay Kumar's Film Faces Early Setback, Collects ₹2.50 Crore After 16% Drop

Haiwaan, the film starring Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar, made its debut on Friday. However, the film did not receive a strong pre-release buzz, and advance bookings were also below expectations. On its first day, Haiwaan managed to collect Rs. 3 crore net in India, which was a far cry from what was anticipated. The film has received mixed reviews from both critics and audiences, leaving everyone eager to see its performance on Saturday.

Early estimates suggest that Haiwaan might not experience a significant increase in box office collections, with a possibility of witnessing a decline to around Rs. 2-2.50 crore. Nonetheless, if the late evening and night show attendances are up to par, the movie could see a boost, potentially earning somewhere between Rs. 5-5.50 crore net in two days.

Unfortunately, Haiwaan has not been well-received overseas, earning only Rs. 1 crore gross and taking the worldwide gross total for Day 1 to Rs. 4.60 crore. With a budget of Rs. 100-115 crore, the movie will need a miraculous jump in box office collections to avoid a flop status. Reviewers have given the film mixed ratings, with some praising the performances by Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar but acknowledging that the movie offers nothing new apart from a few fresh scenes and different actors.
