Awarapan 2 earned Rs. 5.40 crore on its seventh day, recording a 10 per cent decline compared with Wednesday. With this, the romantic action drama concluded its first week with around Rs. 111.50 crore nett in India.
Directed by Nitin Kakkar, the Emraan Hashmi-led film is expected to witness a strong jump during its second weekend, with no major release arriving in its way. The movie will enjoy a relatively open run until Yash starrer Toxic hits cinemas.
Despite receiving mixed reactions from audiences, Awarapan 2 has delivered a Super-HIT theatrical run. The film’s strong performance has largely been driven by the loyal fanbase of the original Awarapan and the nostalgia associated with the 2007 cult favourite.
Featuring Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi alongside Emraan Hashmi, the sequel has already become the highest-grossing solo film of the actor’s career. If it continues to maintain its momentum in the coming days, the movie could eventually achieve a Blockbuster verdict.

Awarapan 2 serves as a sequel to the 2007 film Awarapan, which initially underperformed at the box office but gradually developed a cult following. The success of intense romantic dramas backed by popular music in recent years helped reignite interest in Emraan Hashmi’s signature genre.
The actor had established himself as one of the leading stars of romantic thrillers during the 2000s and early 2010s with films such as Murder 2, Raaz 3, Jannat 2 and Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai. The success of Awarapan 2 marks a significant turnaround, making its journey from a sequel to a former box-office disappointment to a potential blockbuster particularly notable.
