The newest movie of Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, titled Haiwaan, seems to be having a hard time on the first Monday at the box office. The film has been experiencing a drop in collections after its opening weekend since its attendance was lower than expected during weekdays.

As mentioned, the film, starring both Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, gained significant anticipation before hitting the theatres. This is due to the popularity of the two and the promotion of the film itself. But it seems that sustaining the hype during the weekend will be hard.

Based on preliminary box office reports, Haiwaan is having a hard time surpassing the ₹10 crore mark during its fourth day. As we know, the first Monday plays a very important role in determining the theatrical run of a film, especially since the collections are usually down after the weekend.

The film’s performance in the coming days will therefore be closely watched. Stronger weekday occupancy could help it maintain momentum and improve its overall theatrical run, while continued weakness could put pressure on its box-office prospects.

Audience response, show occupancy and competition from other releases will also play an important role in determining the film’s performance during the remainder of the week.

Despite the Monday slowdown, Haiwaan still has an opportunity to attract audiences during the upcoming days. The film’s eventual box-office outcome will depend largely on whether it can stabilise collections during the weekdays and convert audience interest into sustained theatrical footfall.

For now, the first Monday numbers suggest that the Akshay Kumar-Saif Ali Khan starrer has entered a crucial phase at the box office, with the next few days likely to determine the direction of its theatrical journey.
