Akshay-Saif Starrer Haiwaan Faces Tough Start with ₹5 Cr Opening Expected

​The much-anticipated action thriller Haiwaan, starring Bollywood heavyweights Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, has had a modest start at the box office. Directed by Priyadarshan, the film marks a major on-screen reunion for the two lead actors after nearly two decades, generating significant pre-release chatter among movie enthusiasts.
​

Despite the initial hype surrounding its unique storyline and star-studded cast, the movie’s advance ticket sales have experienced a relatively slow beginning. Trade analysts report that early pre-sales point toward a steady opening-day collection of around ₹5 crore. While advance numbers started off on a cautious note, industry experts remain optimistic that positive word-of-mouth and walk-in audiences during the upcoming weekend could give the film a much-needed push.
​

As Haiwaan finally makes its way to cinema halls, fans are eager to see how this high-stakes cat-and-mouse thriller performs. Its ultimate box office success will heavily rely on audience reactions over the next few days, determining whether the star power of Akshay and Saif can convert early curiosity into long-term theatrical momentum.
