The Hindi film Haiwaan, starring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, had a slow start at the box office upon its release on September 11, 2026. The film earned Rs 3 crore net in India on its opening day, while the devotional drama Hanuman Ansh, which released on August 7, 2026, continued its strong run in its sixth week.<\/p>\n

According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Hanuman Ansh earned Rs 10.50 crore net on its 36th day, which is 110% more than Haiwaan’s opening day collection. Haiwaan is a remake of the 2016 Malayalam film Oppam, directed by Priyadarshan, and marked the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan after 17 years.<\/p>\n

The contrasting box office performances have coincided with a rise in online searches for downloading both films. Several unauthorized websites have listed HD prints of Hanuman Ansh and Haiwaan, though no official digital release has been announced for either title.<\/p>\n

Hanuman Ansh Continues Box Office Dominance<\/h2>\n

Hanuman Ansh, made on a reported budget of Rs 2 crore, has become one of the biggest box office surprises of 2026. The film opened with just Rs 10 lakh on its first day but gained momentum through word of mouth. Its fourth week alone contributed around Rs 61 crore.<\/p>\n

By its 45th day, Hanuman Ansh had earned Rs 321.05 crore gross in India and Rs 347.05 crore worldwide. The film added 1,200 screens in its seventh week as new releases underperformed. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh described it as ‘the biggest success story of 2026’.<\/p>\n

Directed by Vishal Chaturvedi, Hanuman Ansh stars Shobhinaw Satyaa as Neem Karoli Baba, alongside Chandan Anand, Vihaan Shedge, Purnima Tiwari, Anil Rastogi and Gulshan Pandey. The film follows a grieving boy who embarks on a spiritual quest across North India after his mother’s death.<\/p>\n

Haiwaan Struggles In Opening Week<\/h2>\n

Haiwaan failed to reach Rs 10 crore in its opening week. The film earned Rs 55 lakh on its seventh day across 2,839 shows, taking its India net total to Rs 9.85 crore. Its worldwide gross stood at Rs 15.11 crore after one week.<\/p>\n

The crime thriller features Saif Ali Khan as a visually impaired man who witnesses a murder and must protect a child from a killer. Akshay Kumar plays the psychopath antagonist. The film also stars Saiyami Kher, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Rajpal Yadav, Sharib Hashmi and the late Asrani.<\/p>\n

Amid the film’s underwhelming performance, actor Mohit Raj, who plays Albert in Haiwaan, posted an emotional video on Instagram stating that none of his friends had watched the film four days after its release. He said, ‘Haal hi mein release hui Haiwaan jismein Saif Ali Khan aur Akshay Kumar hai, usmein ek choti bhumika meri bhi hai. Main ek baat kehna chahungi. Uss film ko release hue chaar din ho chuke hai, par mere kisi bhi dost ne yeh movie nahi dekhi.’<\/p>\n
