Haiwaan Box Office Bomb: Saif & Akshay Film Flops
17 Sep
Summary
- Haiwaan earned Rs. 7.35 crore net in its opening weekend.
- Monday earnings plummeted to Rs. 70 lakh net, a figure unchanged Tuesday.
- Film's reported budget of Rs. 100-115 crore versus current earnings.
The movie 'Haiwaan' is experiencing a critical box office struggle following its release last Friday. Directed by Priyadarshan, the film starring Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar, garnered Rs. 7.35 crore net in India during its opening weekend. However, a subsequent lukewarm reception led to a drastic decline in collections.
By Monday, earnings fell to a mere Rs. 70 lakh net, a figure that persisted into Tuesday. Reports indicate a further dip on Wednesday, with Rs. 55 lakh earned, bringing the total net collection in India to Rs. 9.30 crore. Overseas performance has also been weak, contributing Rs. 10 lakh gross, with a worldwide gross total of Rs. 14.36 crore.
While the official budget remains undisclosed, estimates place the production cost between Rs. 100-115 crore. This financial outlook, juxtaposed with its current earnings, strongly suggests 'Haiwaan' is heading towards a significant box office failure. The film's plot revolves around Shyam, a blind manager, protecting the judge's daughter from a serial killer.
