The crime thriller Haiwaan, featuring Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar, has proven to be a major letdown. Following the triumph of Bhooth Bangla, the reunion of Akshay and Priyadarshan generated high expectations, but despite receiving some favorable reviews, the movie failed to spark audience interest and is nearing the end of its Indian box office run. Below is a comprehensive report on its 9th day.
How much did Haiwaan earn at the Indian box office in 9 days?
On its second Saturday, marking day 9, the Bollywood crime thriller brought in a meager 1 lakh. This brings its total net collection at the Indian box office to just 9.87 crore, translating to 11.65 crore in gross earnings. The film is anticipated to rake in only a few more lakhs, projecting a final lifetime net collection between 9.91 and 9.92 crore.
Here’s the week-wise collection breakdown in India (net):
- Week 1 – 9.85 crore

To wrap up its run as Akshay Kumar’s lowest-grosser in the last 26 years
With its lifetime net estimated at 9.91-9.92 crore, Haiwaan will conclude its domestic theatrical run as Akshay Kumar’s lowest-earning movie over the past 26 years. The superstar’s previous lowest-grossing film was Family – Ties Of Blood, which finished with a net total of 8.59 crore. This outcome is a major setback for the actor, who will look to rebound with his upcoming project directed by Anees Bazmee, slated for a December 2026 release.
Even though it reunited Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan, the feature failed to draw crowds because it departed from their usual comedic style, presenting itself instead as a niche crime thriller.

Haiwaan is backed by producers Venkat K Narayana and Shailaja Desai Fenn under KVN Productions and Thespian Films. Important supporting roles are played by Boman Irani, Shriya Pilgaonkar, and Saiyami Kher, alongside a cameo appearance by Mohanlal. The movie holds a 5.9 out of 10 rating on BookMyShow.
