Awarapan 2 collected Rs. 8 crore on its second Saturday, registering a 50 per cent spike from the previous day. The 9-day cume of the Emraan Hashmi starrer reached Rs. 124.75 crore nett at the Indian box office. The movie is expected to see another good spike today and close its second weekend around Rs. 20 crore, which will take its cume slightly over the Rs. 130 crore mark.
Backed by Vishesh Films, the movie is looking to close its entire run around the Rs. 150 crore nett mark, depending on how it holds against Yash’s Toxic in the third week. The movie has already emerged as a Super Hit venture and Emraan Hashmi’s career-biggest grosser.
Co-starring Disha Patani, Shabana Azmi, and others, Awarapan 2 garnered mixed word-of-mouth among the audience..It was OG Emraan Hashmi’s return and the nostalgia factor that worked well for the film and became major reasons behind its success.
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. |
| Total | Rs. 124.75 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, perhaps even a blockbuster. 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.
