Haiwaan Review Finds Thriller Lacking Logic, Tension, and Coherence

Haiwaan is supposed to be a serious thriller about a dangerous cat-and-mouse chase.

The review says the movie often does not make sense and lacks suspense.

Saif Ali Khan plays Shyam, a visually impaired man who uses his other senses to understand the world.

Akshay Kumar plays Parshuram, a man whose anger leads him toward violence.

The reviewer felt that Saif did not fully become his character.

The review also says Akshay’s performance sometimes seemed unintentionally funny.

Haiwaan is a remake of Priyadarshan’s Malayalam film Oppam.

The reviewer believes Oppam worked much better and that Haiwaan’s long runtime made the experience tiring.
