'Haiwaan' remake starring Kumar, Khan posts ₹5.11cr 2-day total
Haiwaan, the Hindi remake of Oppam starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, hit theaters on September 11.
It's their first team-up in 17 years, but the film is off to a lukewarm start, earning ₹3 crore on day one and dropping to ₹2.11 crore on day two for a total of ₹5.11 crore.
'Mirzapur: The Movie' steals 'Haiwaan' spotlight
Mirzapur: The Movie is stealing some spotlight, making it tough for Haiwaan at the box office. The film's occupancy peaked at over 18% at night on opening night but dipped to 12.77% by day two.
Kumar plays a killer and Khan a blind man; Boman Irani praised director Priyadarshan's dynamic style, calling it "kinetic."
The cast also includes Shriya Pilgaonkar, Saiyami Kher, and Rajpal Yadav (Mohanlal pops up for a cameo). This is also the late Asrani's final appearance on screen.
