Before the arrival of Haiwaan, 2026 had proven to be a moderately successful year for Akshay Kumar with the hit Bhooth Bangla and semi-hit Welcome to the Jungle. After these two films, Haiwaan was released. It is a full-fledged thriller led by Akshay Kumar as the antagonist, along with Saif Ali Khan as the protagonist. Though made on a fair budget, it boasted an interesting cast and crew. However, did this cast and crew succeed in attracting the audience towards the film subject, or did the film fail? Read on for the detailed Haiwaan box office collection India, overseas, and worldwide, along with the advance booking report, hit or flop verdict, and more.
Akshay Kumar & Saif Ali Khan Reunite After 18 Years
Akshay Kumar’s last hit movie was Bhooth Bangla, having a lifetime collection of Rs 175 crore India nett, while Saif Ali Khan’s last solo hit was Cocktail, with a lifetime collection of Rs 74.25 crore India nett. Saif also had multistarrer successes later in the form of Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior and Devara: Part 1. Both stars return together 18 years after their last collaboration with Haiwaan. This time the two stars face each other, with Saif playing a blind protagonist and Akshay taking on the role of a ruthless psychopath. The Akshay Saif movie reunion adds another layer of interest to this Priyadarshan thriller.

How Was the Pre-Release Hype For Haiwaan?
The hype for the Haiwaan 2026 film was limited, as seen in the Haiwaan first day advance booking report. This was due to several factors that revolved around its concept, cast, and the “Oppam” remake factor. The following are some reasons why the film failed to build any pre-release buzz:
- The repulsion of audiences from remakes of South Indian movies
- Akshay Kumar in an unusual negative role
- No exciting pre-release assets except the trailer
- Competition from giants like Mirzapur: The Movie and Hanuman Ansh
- Film’s genre lacks appeal, making it suitable for an OTT release
What Was the Haiwaan Box Office Prediction?
Inside Box Office’s pre-release predictions estimated a single-digit opening of Rs 6 crore to Rs 8 crore India nett. As predicted, Akshay Kumar’s Haiwaan later recorded an opening of Rs ____ crore India nett, a very low Haiwaan day wise box office collection. This left a positive word-of-mouth as its only hope for this Rs 120 crore budgeted thriller. Additionally, as judged according to the pre-release buzz of Haiwaan, this thriller movie did not appeal to the overseas audience either.
Inside Box Office had predicted an overall low Haiwaan worldwide collection on Day 1. This prediction also came true, as seen in the Haiwaan day wise box office worldwide opening of Rs ___, a total of its Rs ___ crore India gross and $____ (Rs ___ crore) overseas gross.
