Haiwaan Box Office Day 1: Akshay Kumar & Saif Ali Khan Need This Much Opening Collection To Enter Top 3 Crime Thriller Openers Post-COVID!

Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan’s iconic duo has made us groove to Ole Ole in the 90s, and their reunion in Haiwaan is making all of us excited! Helmed by Priyadarshan, the actors are collaborating for Oppam remake, and the crime thriller is keeping all of us excited! The film features Saif as a visually impaired protagonist fighting to protect a young child, and Akshay in a menacing avatar as the antagonist.

As the film prepares for its theatrical arrival, all eyes are firmly set on its opening day performance. Given the genre appeal and massive star power involved, the film is well-positioned to make a good opening. But how much does it actually need on Day 1 to enter the Top 3 Highest-Grossing Crime Thriller Openers in the Post-COVID Era?

Target For Haiwaan Box Office Day 1!

The post-COVID box office for Hindi crime thrillers has seen huge ups and downs, ranging from giant blockbuster openings to very low beginnings! Currently, R Balki’s Dulquer Salmaan starrer Chup: Revenge Of The Artist holds the third spot in the list of the post-pandemic crime thriller openings! And that is the target for Haiwaan!

To comfortably secure the 3rd spot in the list of the top openings by post-COVID crime thrillers, Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan’s Priyadarshan film needs to score only 3.07 crore on its opening day – a target that seems like a cakewalk for Priyadarshan’s crime thriller!

While Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2 and Drishyam 2 sit comfortably at the top two spots as the post-COVID crime thriller openers, securing the third spot is child’s play for Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan’s Haiwaan! The game would spice up if it targets the top two as well!
