Mirzapur – The Movie holds strong as Haiwaan enters its first weekend

The Movie continues to maintain a strong presence at the box office even after the arrival of Akshay Kumar’s Haiwaan. The two films are currently running in theatres, with Mirzapur The Movie getting a head start after releasing earlier, while Haiwaan opened on September 11. After a promising beginning, Mirzapur The Movie has continued to draw audiences, raising the question of whether the newer release has affected its earnings.

Mirzapur The Movie stays ahead

Mirzapur The Movie has completed 10 days in theatres and has crossed the Rs 180 crore mark in net domestic earnings, according to the figures cited in the source report. Haiwaan, meanwhile, is in its third day of theatrical run and has collected more than Rs 7 crore so far.

The difference becomes more noticeable when the latest daily figures are compared. On September 13, Mirzapur The Movie reportedly earned Rs 11.93 crore, while Haiwaan recorded a net collection of Rs 1.65 crore on Sunday.

Latest daily collection figures

The reported numbers indicate that Mirzapur The Movie has continued to maintain its momentum despite the release of Haiwaan. Its first-week collection stood at Rs 148.45 crore.

The film then added Rs 9.50 crore on Day 8 and Rs 13.50 crore on Day 9. On Day 10, its reported collection stood at Rs 11.93 crore.

This performance suggests that the film has retained audience interest into its second week rather than experiencing a sharp decline after the arrival of another major release.

Haiwaan records Rs 7 crore in three days

Haiwaan began its theatrical journey with a reported opening-day net collection of Rs 3 crore. The film added another Rs 2.50 crore on its second day.

Its third-day collection was reported at Rs 1.65 crore, taking the three-day total to approximately Rs 7.15 crore.

While Haiwaan has started its run at a considerably lower level than Mirzapur The Movie’s current total, its theatrical journey is still in its early stages. More days of collection will be needed to assess its overall performance.

Total box office comparison

According to the figures attributed to Sacnilk in the source material, Mirzapur The Movie has reached Rs 183.38 crore in net domestic collection after 10 days.

Haiwaan, by comparison, has collected Rs 7.15 crore net during its first three days. Based on these reported figures, there is currently no clear indication of a major drop in Mirzapur The Movie’s earnings following Haiwaan’s release.

The two films are also targeting different audience expectations, with Mirzapur The Movie benefiting from an established franchise following and Haiwaan arriving as a new crime-thriller release.

What is Mirzapur The Movie about?

Mirzapur The Movie brings together several familiar faces from the Prime Video series, including Ali Fazal, Divyenndu Sharma, Shweta Tripathi, Rasika Dugal and Pankaj Tripathi.

Directed by Gurmmeet Singh, the film is based on the popular Mirzapur universe. The established popularity of the series has given the theatrical release a ready-made audience base. At the same time, the movie presents a fresh story within that universe, allowing existing viewers to return to the characters on the big screen.

Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan lead Haiwaan

Haiwaan is directed by Priyadarshan and features Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan in the lead roles. The film has been positioned as a suspense crime thriller, with the two actors taking on contrasting characters.

Akshay Kumar plays a negative role, while Saif Ali Khan appears in another central character. The film also marks a reunion for Akshay and Saif after their earlier collaboration in Tashan in 2008.

For now, the reported numbers show Mirzapur The Movie continuing its strong theatrical run while Haiwaan works to establish itself during its opening days.
