Haiwaan, starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, started its run on the expected lines. Being a niche crime thriller, it was bound to register a slow start, and that’s exactly what happened. Compared to Akshay’s lowest openers in the post-COVID era, it opened slightly better at the Indian box office, but overall, the number stayed on the lower side. Keep reading for a detailed collection report of day 1!
How much did Haiwaan earn at the Indian box office on day 1?
The Bollywood crime thriller secured a decent showcasing across India despite the strong run of Mirzapur The Movie and Hanuman Ansh. It kicked off its run on a dismal note, with the morning occupancy at 6%. Due to mixed word-of-mouth, it didn’t see a turnaround in the evening and night shows. As a result, the film scored 3 crore net at the Indian box office on day 1, which equals 3.54 crore gross.
In our prediction story, we predicted Haiwaan to open in the 3-5 crore range, and it opened exactly in that range. While such a start is nothing to boast of, it still managed to score better than Akshay Kumar’s lowest post-COVID openers: Mission Raniganj (2.8 crore), Selfiee (2.55 crore), and Sarfira (2.5 crore).

All eyes on the weekend growth
After a start of 3 crore, Haiwaan needs a big turnaround today (day 2) and tomorrow (day 3) to at least pull off a respectable first weekend at the Indian box office. The competition will be stiff as both Mirzapur The Movie and Hanuman Ansh are having a glorious run, but the crime thriller needs to find its target audience to survive through the weekend.
