Bollywood’s box office had high hopes riding on Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan sharing screen space, but *Haiwaan* has turned out to be a tough watch — for the makers, at least. The psychological action thriller wrapped its opening week with a nett collection of just Rs 8.75 crore, a number that barely moves the needle for a film starring two of Hindi cinema’s biggest names.

The trouble started early. Day 1 opened at Rs 2.50 crore, and instead of building momentum, the film kept sliding — a pattern common with **psychological thrillers** that fail to generate word-of-mouth buzz. By the second weekday, poor reviews had already caught up with it, and collections nosedived into decimals by midweek.
