Haiwaan's Box Office Struggles and OTT Release

The film *Haiwaan*, featuring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, hit theaters on September 11 but failed to captivate audiences, resulting in a disappointing box office performance. As a result, conversations about its upcoming OTT release have intensified.

Recent updates have shed light on the OTT release date for this psycho-thriller directed by Priyadarshan. Let's explore when and where *Haiwaan* will be available for streaming soon.

OTT Availability of *Haiwaan*
In *Haiwaan*, Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar reunited on screen after nearly 18 years, having last appeared together in *Tashan*. Unfortunately, their collaboration did not translate into success, and the film has been labeled a flop. However, news regarding its OTT release has emerged.

Reports indicate that *Haiwaan* will be available for streaming on November 6, 2026. Viewers can enjoy the film from home on the popular platform SonyLIV. While an official confirmation of the OTT release is still awaited, it is confirmed that the movie will be accessible on SonyLIV.

This is due to the fact that SonyLIV secured the digital rights for the film even before its theatrical debut. In the upcoming days, *Haiwaan* will strive to attract viewers on the platform. It's important to note that the film's box office performance was lackluster, and it has been categorized among the year's least successful Bollywood films.

Reasons Behind *Haiwaan*'s Failure
The film's primary downfall can be attributed to its status as a remake of the Malayalam psycho-thriller *Oppam*, which starred Mohanlal in a significant role. The original *Oppam* was already accessible on YouTube in Hindi, which may have deterred audiences from visiting theaters to see *Haiwaan*, featuring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan.
