  "account": "Haiwaan, an action-crime thriller film starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, premiered in Indian cinemas on September 11, 2023. The movie, a Hindi remake of Priyadarshan's 2016 Malayalam film Oppam, received mixed-to-negative reviews from both critics and audiences, which seems to have affected its opening-day performance. According to Sacnilk, Haiwaan garnered a net collection of Rs 3 crore in India from 7,224 screenings on its first day, bringing its total India gross to approximately Rs 3.60 crore. Overseas markets contributed around Rs 1 crore, bringing the film's worldwide gross to about Rs 4.60 crore after its debut day. The budget for Haiwaan is estimated to be between Rs 100-115 crore, although the filmmakers have not officially disclosed this figure. Given the reported budget, a Day 1 net collection of Rs 3 crore is considered disappointing, and the film will need a significant increase over the weekend to improve its theatrical prospects. The following days will be crucial in determining whether Haiwaan can achieve any meaningful recovery at the box office. This film also reunites Akshay and Saif after an 18-year gap, marking their co-star reunion in a film together since Main Khiladi Tu Anari and Tashan.",
