Awarapan 2 collected Rs. 8.50 crore on its second Sunday, registering a nominal spike over Saturday. Ideally, it should have recorded a better jump. The movie wrapped up its second weekend at Rs. 21.75 crore, after recording its first week of Rs. 111.50 crore. The 10-day running cume of Awarapan 2 reached Rs. 133.25 crore nett at the Indian box office.
Co-starring Disha Patani, Shabana Azmi, and others, the romantic action drama is expected to slow down its pace as Yash’s Toxic is arriving to grab most of the screens. Awarapan 2 is expected to wrap this week around Rs. 140 crore, and then it will march towards its final target.
Based on current trends, the Emraan Hashmi starrer is looking to wrap its entire theatrical run at Rs. 150 crore nett or so. Backed by Vishesh Films, the movie has already emerged as a Super HIT venture at the box office.
The day-wise box office collections of Awarapan 2 in India are as follows:
| Day | Nett |
|---|---|
| Week 1 | Rs. 111.50 cr. |
| 2nd Friday | Rs. 5.25 cr. |
| 2nd Saturday | Rs. 8.00 cr. |
| 2nd Sunday | Rs. 8.50 cr. |
| Total | Rs. 133.25 cr. |
Awarapan 2 is a sequel to the 2007 film, which was a DISASTER upon its original release but later garnered a cult following. When intense love stories with hit music found success last year, it reminded the industry of Emraan Hashmi, who had delivered several films in this space during the 2000s and early 2010s. He was at the peak of his career in the early 2010s with films like Murder 2, Raaz 3, Jannat 2, and Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, before his fortunes declined through the latter half of the decade.
The revival of the genre eventually led to Awarapan 2 being made, and that decision has paid off handsomely. There is probably no precedent for a sequel to a DISASTER emerging as a HIT. Last year saw former FLOPs like Sanam Teri Kasam and Laila Majnu become HITs through their re-releases, and now a sequel is doing it on a much bigger scale.
