The film is almost a no show all across the board, and whatever has come in due to the face value of Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. The trailers had the writing on the wall, but none expected such a start as it marks the reunion of Akshay with Priyadarshan after the success of Bhooth Bangla.
The national chains are looking to collect around Rs. 1.90 crore on the first day, and this is a dismal result. The start is on the lines of Selfiee and Sarfira, which is not a great list to be a part of. Surprisingly, this ranks among the lowest openers of the year, and that’s despite a hefty budget and strong face value.
Haiwaan could see some growth on Saturday and Sunday, but it’s curtains down with this opening.
