The box office nightmare for Haiwaan has officially worsened. After a dismal opening weekend, the Priyadarshan-directed psychological thriller starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan faced the dreaded Monday test—and it failed spectacularly.
Struggling to find an audience since its release, the film witnessed a brutal crash on Day 4, sealing its fate as a massive box office disaster within just four days of its theatrical run. In a shocking turn of events, the movie failed to even cross the ₹1 crore mark on Monday, registering one of the lowest first-Monday collections of Akshay Kumar’s career.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the Day 4 box office figures, occupancy rates, and how Haiwaan completely tanked at the ticket windows.
Day 4 Box Office Breakdown: A Brutal Monday Crash
Usually, a film heavily relies on a steady Monday to sustain its weekday run, but Haiwaan showed absolutely no signs of survival. After collecting a meager ₹1.85 crore on Sunday, the film experienced a colossal drop of over 60% on Day 4.
According to early trade estimates, Haiwaan collected a shocking ₹0.70 crore (70 Lakhs) net on its first Monday.
This catastrophic drop brings the film’s total 4-day India net collection to approximately ₹8.05 crore. For an ₹80-crore budgeted film boasting two of the biggest A-list superstars, failing to cross the ₹10 crore mark in four days is unprecedented.
The theater occupancies painted an equally grim picture. Morning and afternoon shows registered single-digit occupancies, and the overall Hindi occupancy on Monday plummeted to a disastrous 4.8% to 12.77% across limited screens.
An All-Time Low For Akshay Kumar
What makes the Day 4 crash even more alarming is that it marks the lowest first-Monday collection for Akshay Kumar in recent memory. Even his recent underperformers managed to scrape past the ₹1.5 – ₹2 crore mark on their first Mondays.
Despite playing a menacing villain after 13 years and reuniting with Saif Ali Khan after 17 years, the film’s dark, psychological theme failed to resonate with the Hindi mass audience. The lack of comedic banter—a staple of Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar collaborations—along with mixed critical reviews, led to a complete rejection by the ticket-buying public.
| Day | Date | Daily Net Collection |
| Day 1 (Friday) | 11 Sep 2026 | ₹3.00 Cr |
| Day 2 (Saturday) | 12 Sep 2026 | ₹2.50 Cr |
| Day 3 (Sunday) | 13 Sep 2026 | ₹1.85 Cr |
| Day 4 (Monday) | 14 Sep 2026 | ₹0.70 Cr |
| Total (4 Days) | ₹8.05 Cr |
Squeezed Out By Strong Holdovers
The steep decline in Monday collections was also heavily influenced by a drastic reduction in screen count. Exhibitors actively pulled Haiwaan from prime slots to accommodate the overwhelming public demand for Mirzapur: The Movie and the sixth-week spiritual blockbuster Hanuman Ansh. With almost empty theaters, Haiwaan is now expected to wrap up its lifetime run under the ₹15 crore mark, making it a monumental box office flop.
