A netizen wrote, “HAIWAAN is director #Priyadarshan’s first thriller in Hindi language. Taking a departure from comedy, the filmmaker has opted to tell the story of shattered lives, justice, and the price for vengeance. The masterstroke here is that it ends up being a deeply satisfying if not entirely perfect experience and experiment. Another crucial factor working in the film’s favor is how smartly the promotional assets were executed. “
The review further read, “AkshayKumar tweaks his body language and voice modulation to give his sinister character a twisted edge. #SaifAliKhan keeps it subdued and lets his eyes do the talking. “
Another review read, “The Haiwaan is a very powerful and compelling thriller. Yes, it is a remake of #Oppam, but the climax is different, and the film is even more engaging. The “remake” tag may perhaps work against the film, but if the audience watches it, I’m sure they will absolutely love it. Priyadarshan has made a terrific film.”
“This is an absolute banger BLOCKBUSTER. Priyadarshan delivers once again, Akshay Kumar absolutely nails it, and Saif Ali Khan is brilliant. The first half is packed with entertainment, intensity, and solid performances,” wrote a fan.
Another fan complimented the performances and wrote, “A gripping psychological thriller #Haiwaan powered by terrific performances from Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, stylish visuals, and an effective background score. Priyadarshan keeps the tension alive, especially in the second half, delivering a surprise at the end.”
And yes, it seems like Mohanlal’s cameo in the film has worked well. The actor was the lead in the original Malayalam film. “And then comes #Mohanlal. I won’t spoil anything, but his presence in #Haiwaan is easily one of the film’s biggest theatre moments. That cameo lands.”
