Emraan Hashmi is back on a roaring winning streak at the box office. Propelled by massive nostalgia, powerful word-of-mouth, and an ardent fan following, Awarapan 2 has taken the theatrical box office by storm. The action-thriller has put up staggering numbers over its opening weekend, crushing previous benchmarks and establishing a new career-best milestone for its leading man.
Presented by Mukesh Bhatt and Vishesh Films, the film has shattered expectations right from its opening show, scripting a phenomenal box office story.
From the moment advance bookings opened, Awarapan 2 signaled that it was primed for a historic run. The film maintained an aggressive upward surge through the weekend across thousands of screens:
- Day 1 (Opening Day): The film hit the ground running, raking in a massive ₹22.00 Cr net on its opening day and comfortably outperforming major expectations.
- Day 2: Capitalizing on strong positive walk-ins and holiday sentiment, collections jumped further to ₹33.75 Cr.
- Day 3: Continuing its invincible march across 9,403 shows nationwide, the film pulled off a massive ₹26.00 Cr net on its third day.
This stellar three-day run brings Awarapan 2‘s total India net collections to ₹81.75 Cr, with total domestic gross earnings touching an impressive ₹98.10 Cr.
The craze for Shivam Pandit’s return has resonated strongly beyond domestic boundaries. International markets embraced the gritty action-drama with open arms, contributing ₹6.30 Cr overseas on Day 3 alone, which pushes the film’s total overseas gross to ₹19.30 Cr.
Combined with domestic figures, Awarapan 2‘s worldwide gross collection has skyrocketed to ₹117.40 Cr within its opening weekend alone, cementing its status as an undisputed box office monster.
Shattering Precedents: Surpassing the Original Legacy
To put the film’s monumental commercial success into perspective, Awarapan 2 eclipsed the lifetime theatrical run of the 2007 cult original Awarapan on its very first day. While the original film grossed approximately ₹12.18 crore worldwide during its entire run back in 2007, the sequel surpassed that figure within hours of its opening show, highlighting how much the franchise and its core character have grown in stature among audiences.
