'Haiwaan' box office collection day 4: Hit by Monday blues, Akshay Kumar's film fails to cross ₹10 crore in India

Akshay Kumar's box office woes just got worse. After a shaky opening weekend, Haiwaan hit the dreaded Monday blues hard on Day 4, collecting a mere ₹0.70 crore net in India — a steep drop of over 60% from its Sunday numbers. With this, the film's four-day total has struggled to inch past ₹8 crore, putting it firmly on track to miss the ₹10 crore mark, a number many mid-budget films clear within their opening weekend.

For a film starring not one, but two big names — Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, reuniting after their 2008 hit Tashan — this is being called one of the actor's weakest post-pandemic box office runs. So what went wrong for Priyadarshan's crime thriller, and can it recover in week two? Here's the complete day-by-day breakdown of Haiwaan's box office journey so far, and what trade experts are saying about its fate.

Marred by dismal reviews, the film has had a weak box office run so far, according to film trade portal Sacnilk.

Haiwaan made ₹3 crore on its opening Friday, ₹2.50 crore on its first Saturday, ₹1.85 crore on its first Sunday, and ₹0.70 crore on its first Monday. With this, the film has managed to mop up a measly ₹8.05 crore at the domestic box office so far. This brings total India gross collections to ₹9.63 crore.

The film has made ₹3 crore at the overseas box office, taking its worldwide box office earnings to ₹12.63 crore. Haiwaan's shows recorded an overall theatrical occupancy of 12.88%, with its night shows recording the highest occupancy at 16.62%.

Haiwaan can easily be considered as one of Akshay Kumar's weakest performing films at the box office since 2021. It features among films such as Sarfira (₹24.85 crore), Mission Raniganj (₹34,17 crore), and Selfiee (₹17.03 crore).

What do trade experts have to say?
