Mixed Reviews for Havaan: Audience Disappointment Despite Star Power

Mumbai, September 11 (Daily Kiran) : The highly anticipated crime thriller “Havaan,” featuring Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, premiered in theaters on September 11, 2026. Despite the buzz surrounding its release, audience reactions have been largely negative. Many viewers expressed disappointment after watching the film, stating it did not live up to the hype generated prior to its launch.

One viewer shared their dissatisfaction, saying, “I feel very let down after watching the film. It was nothing like the excitement that was built up around it. The story felt ordinary and lacked engaging content. You could tell the audience was bored; it became evident within the first half hour.” They hoped the second half would improve but found the first part to be the stronger segment.

While some praised Saif Ali Khan’s performance, others felt Akshay Kumar struggled in his role as the villain. One audience member remarked, “I was hoping for a thrilling crime story, but it didn’t deliver. Akshay Kumar should stick to comedy; he didn’t suit this role at all.”

Another viewer echoed these sentiments, stating, “Watching this film ruined my mood. I came expecting something fresh, reminiscing about ‘Main Anari, Tu Khiladi.’ There should have been more intensity. Priyadarshan is known for his comedies, so I expected something different from him.”

Critics of the film found the storyline lacking depth and described it as “dead.” They noted that if the direction had been better, Saif Ali Khan might have shone more brightly in his role. “The music was also forgettable,” one viewer added.

However, not all reactions were negative. One attendee defended the film, stating, “Everyone has different tastes. I enjoyed the movie. The songs before the interval were fun, and both actors delivered entertaining performances.”

As the audience continues to voice their varied opinions, “Havaan” remains a topic of discussion, proving that tastes in cinema can be as diverse as the films themselves.
