Priyadarshan’s Haiwaan Posts Steep Decline, First Week Nets Roughly Rs. 15.1 Crore

Poor daily receipts and weak audience response indicate the film is likely to finish far below its reported Rs. 100–115 crore production cost.

Overview

  • The Priyadarshan‑directed crime thriller released on Sept. 11 and opened modestly before daily box‑office receipts fell sharply across the first week.
  • Trade tracker Sacnilk and multiple outlets reported day‑by‑day India net figures that fell from Rs. 3 crore on opening day to roughly Rs. 0.55–0.70 crore midweek, producing weak cumulative totals.
  • After seven days the film’s worldwide gross was reported at about Rs. 15.11 crore, with India net around Rs. 9.85 crore and overseas gross near Rs. 3.35 crore.
  • Industry analysts now project a theatrical lifetime well under breakeven, with several outlets estimating total run below Rs. 18 crore against the widely reported Rs. 100–115 crore budget.
  • The film’s commercial struggle has had personal effects: supporting actor Mohit Raj posted an emotional Instagram appeal about friends not watching the film and directors and netizens publicly offered support.
