It's curtains down for the Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar led Haiwaan, as the film has taken a disastrous opening at the box office in India. According to early estimates, the Priyadarshan directorial has collected in the range of Rs. 2.75 crore to Rs. 3.25 crore, which is much below the most pessimistic expectations and projections.

The film is almost a no show all across the board, and whatever has come in due to the face value of Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan. The trailers had the writing on the wall, but none expected such a start as it marks the reunion of Akshay with Priyadarshan after the success of Bhooth Bangla.

The national chains are looking to collect around Rs. 1.90 crore on the first day, and this is a dismal result. The start is on the lines of Selfiee and Sarfira, which is not a great list to be a part of. Surprisingly, this ranks among the lowest openers of the year, and that's despite a hefty budget and strong face value.

Haiwaan could see some growth on Saturday and Sunday, but it's curtains down with this opening.

Mirzapur: The Movie has achieved another major milestone at the worldwide box office. The Excel Entertainment production has crossed the coveted Rs. 200 crore mark globally, with its worldwide gross collection standing at Rs. 210.05 crore, as per the latest figures.

The film, which brings the hugely popular Mirzapur franchise from the streaming space to the big screen, has managed to translate its established fan base into strong theatrical footfalls. The worldwide total comprises Rs. 173.67 crore gross from India and Rs. 36.38 crore from the overseas markets.

In India, Mirzapur: The Movie has accumulated Rs. 145.88 crore in net collections, putting the film firmly among the notable theatrical performers of 2026. The difference between the domestic net and gross also takes its India gross to Rs. 173.67 crore, with the overseas contribution further taking the worldwide tally past the Rs. 200 crore milestone.

The achievement is particularly significant considering that Mirzapur originated as a streaming series and built its popularity over multiple seasons. Taking characters and a world already familiar to audiences and giving them a theatrical continuation was always a sizeable gamble, but the box office response indicates that the franchise has retained considerable pull beyond the OTT platform.

Headlined by Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal and Divyenndu, the film continues the franchise’s familiar power struggles and larger-than-life confrontations while expanding the story onto the big screen. The theatrical performance also underlines the growing appetite for established streaming properties to make the transition into cinema.

With Rs. 210.05 crore worldwide, Mirzapur: The Movie has now entered the Rs. 200 crore club, adding another strong commercial success to Excel Entertainment’s filmography. With its theatrical run still progressing, the film will now look to build further on this momentum and push its worldwide tally higher.

On September 4, the English version of Yash-starrer Toxic was released in India. Bollywood Hungama was the first one to report that the film collected just Rs. 1.40 lakhs approximately. Just 450 tickets were sold across the country. The news went viral in no time. We now bring you a report on how the English version of Toxic fared over the week.

The first day of release turned out to be the best day for the English version of Toxic. The film collected Rs. 1.38 lakhs on Friday from 11 shows across four cities – Mumbai, Bengaluru, Gurugram and Noida. On Saturday, the showcasing was reduced to seven shows in three cities – Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad – and the collections fell to Rs. 78,774. Even on Sunday, when the film continued to play in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, there was no weekend jump as the earnings slipped further to Rs. 70,460.

The situation worsened considerably on Monday, with Toxic crashing to just Rs. 15,034. Tuesday proved to be the film’s worst day, as the English version managed to collect a mere Rs. 3,125.

There was a marginal improvement on Wednesday, when the collections rose to Rs. 5,699, before falling again to Rs. 4,655 on Thursday. While the film was playing in Gurugram and Bengaluru on Monday, its showcasing was restricted to Bengaluru alone for the remaining weekdays, underlining the extremely poor demand for the English version.

As expected, owing to the extremely poor turnout, the English version of Toxic has been discontinued from Friday, September 11. What makes its performance all the more shocking is that Toxic was shot simultaneously in Kannada and English, while it was dubbed in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. Despite being an original-language version, the English edition found virtually no takers, not just in India but Overseas as well. As a result, the recovery from the English version has been negligible.

The English version of Toxic has a tighter narrative. This is because its runtime is 176.52 minutes. In other words, Toxic's English version is 2 hours, 56 minutes and 52 seconds. The rest of the versions of the Yash-starrer have a run time of 194.12 minutes, that is, 3 hours, 14 minutes and 12 seconds.

The first week collections of Toxic’s English version:

Friday: Rs. 1,38,295 Saturday: Rs. 78,774 Sunday: Rs. 70,460 Monday: Rs. 15,034 Tuesday: Rs. 3,125 Wednesday: Rs. 5,699 Thursday: Rs. 4,655

TOTAL: Rs. 3,16,042

The Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan-led Haiwaan has witnessed a subdued response in advance booking so far. Going by the current pre-sales trend, the Priyadarshan-directed thriller is staring at an opening of under Rs. 5 crores, with the top national cinema chains expected to close advance sales at fewer than 10,000 tickets. The film will now need strong spot bookings and favourable word of mouth to make up for the lacklustre pre-release response.

The start is extremely poor, and the film will have to rely on the audience word of mouth, as that can help it show gains on the weekend and then clock a Monday higher than Friday.

But even for a miracle trending, it's a must for Haiwaan to open around the Rs. 5 crore mark, which at the moment looks tough. The film is a remake of a Malayalam film, and that has also dented the theatrical potential.

The producers have not put a lot of money into promoting the film, probably owing to the disastrous performance of Toxic. The eyes are now on word of mouth, which hopefully should land in favour of the film, leading to a spike in biz on Saturday and Sunday.

The Mirzapur phenomenon has officially translated into big-screen numbers. Mirzapur – The Movie has delivered a strong opening weekend at the box office, collecting Rs. 90.95 crore and emerging as the 4th highest opening weekend grosser of 2026.

The film has managed to put itself ahead of several notable theatrical releases this year, most significantly Awarapan 2. The Emraan Hashmi-led action drama had opened to Rs. 81.50 crore over its first weekend and had, until now, occupied the fifth spot on the list. Mirzapur – The Movie has now pushed it down to sixth place, underlining the strength of the franchise and the curiosity surrounding its theatrical debut.

What makes the number interesting is that Mirzapur has traditionally been identified with streaming rather than theatrical cinema. The series built an incredibly loyal following over its seasons, with Kaleen Bhaiya, Guddu Pandit and Munna Tripathi becoming pop-culture favourites. Bringing that world to theatres was therefore always going to be an experiment, but the opening weekend suggests that the fan base was more than willing to make the jump from the small screen to the big screen.

At Rs. 90.95 crore, Mirzapur – The Movie is now comfortably ahead of Awarapan 2, while still having some distance to cover before entering the top four. The list is currently headed by Dhurandhar The Revenge, which delivered a staggering Rs. 443 crore, followed by Border 2 at Rs. 129.89 crore, while Toxic occupies third position with Rs. 116.48 crore.

Below Mirzapur – The Movie and Awarapan 2 are Dhamaal 4 with Rs. 64.35 crore, Welcome To The Jungle with Rs. 63.47 crore, The Odyssey (English) with Rs. 56.85 crore, and Bhooth Bangla with Rs. 54.50 crore, Cocktail 2 with Rs. 46.76 cr and Alpha at Rs. 33.48 cr.

For Mirzapur – The Movie, however, the bigger story is not just the ranking. It is the fact that a franchise born and nurtured on streaming has now made a convincing theatrical statement. The real test begins from Monday, but for now, Guddu Pandit and company have plenty to celebrate.
