Haiwaan is all set to arrive in two weeks. It marks another collaboration between Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan after Bhooth Bangla. Saif Ali Khan also plays an important role.
But the ongoing situation of the film has now created concern. Notably, there is very low buzz as people are hardly talking about it. The reason behind it has been the quality of the teaser and trailer, as both of them failed to make the desired impact on the audience.
Trade experts have said that the movie now needs some strong assets to survive at the box office. Some even claimed that the hype is lower compared to what happened at the time of Bhooth Bangla.
Many critics are also pointing out that Akshay Kumar has somehow managed to bring his career back on track, and the current buzz is very low compared to his stardom. A few fans have even demanded the release of a second trailer, saying that the makers should cut it in an entertaining manner this time.
On the other hand, Haiwaan is expected to get impacted by the tag of being a remake. Although Priyadarshan has made changes as per the requirements of today’s audience, trade experts said that the fact cannot be ignored that it is a remake.
Akshay’s history with remakes has not been so good over the last few years. Meanwhile, some even claimed that the current buzz is hinting at an opening of Rs. 5 crores or even less than that, which is similar to the situation of Akshay’s flop films after Sooryavanshi, including Sarfira, Selfiee, and Mission Raniganj.
Netizens stated that Akshay’s appearance as the villain has also not created excitement. Most of them said that the intimidating presence of his character was missing in the teaser and trailer. However, Akshay’s fans are confident that the content will leave an impression.
With the release date approaching, let’s wait and see if the makers will take the feedback seriously or prefer to go ahead with whatever they have brought so far.
