Haiwaan Earns Rs 8.60 Crore Worldwide In Two Days

The Hindi crime thriller Haiwaan, starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, has opened to a poor box office response, earning Rs 8.60 crore worldwide in its first two days. The film, directed by Priyadarshan, saw a significant drop in collections on its second day, raising questions about its commercial viability. According to trade reports, Haiwaan earned Rs 2.50 crore net in India on Saturday, September 12, a 16.7% decline from its opening day collection of Rs 3 crore. This brings its two-day India net total to Rs 5.50 crore. The worldwide gross collection after two days stands at Rs 8.60 crore, which includes approximately Rs 2 crore from overseas markets. The film's opening was modest for a major Bollywood release headlined by two established stars. Its first-day India net of Rs 3 crore was noted as being below the opening day collections of some of Akshay Kumar's previous films. The movie is facing stiff competition at the box office from established releases like Hanuman Ansh and Mirzapur The Movie, which continue to draw significant audiences. Directed by Priyadarshan, Haiwaan is a Hindi adaptation of the 2016 Malayalam film Oppam.
