Awarapan 2 delivered a phenomenal second day at the Indian box office, collecting approximately Rs. 33.50 crore nett on Saturday. The Emraan Hashmi starrer recorded a near 50 percent jump over its already strong opening day, benefiting from the Independence Day holiday.
With this impressive growth, the film’s two-day India nett collection has reached approximately Rs. 56 crore.
Awarapan 2 Eyes Rs. 80–85 Crore Opening Weekend
The film could witness some decline on Sunday, but it is already guaranteed to cross the Rs. 80 crore nett mark in its opening weekend. If the Sunday hold remains strong, the movie could potentially finish its first weekend in the Rs. 85 crore range.
Awarapan 2 arrived with a Hit verdict and has now strengthened its position as a Super Hit. A strong hold on Monday followed by sustained collections in the coming weeks could even push the Emraan Hashmi starrer towards Blockbuster territory.

Awarapan 2 Becomes a Major Success Story
Awarapan 2 is a sequel to the 2007 film Awarapan, which initially performed poorly at the box office but later developed a strong cult following. The renewed popularity of intense romantic dramas and their music in recent years helped revive interest in Emraan Hashmi’s signature genre, eventually paving the way for the sequel.
Hashmi was one of the leading stars of this space during the 2000s and early 2010s, with films such as Murder 2, Raaz 3, Jannat 2 and Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai becoming important milestones in his career.
The success of Awarapan 2 is particularly notable because the original film was a box-office disaster. While several previously unsuccessful films, including Sanam Teri Kasam and Laila Majnu, found renewed success through theatrical re-releases, Awarapan 2 is achieving something even more unusual by turning a sequel to a former flop into a major theatrical hit.
