Awarapan 2 collected Rs. 3.50 crore in its third weekend, registering an 80 percent drop from the previous weekend. The romantic action drama benefited from a Buy-One-Get-One offer during the Raksha Bandhan weekend, although the collections did not show a significant boost. With the film now entering the final leg of its theatrical run, its overall performance remains a success.
The Emraan Hashmi starrer has reached Rs. 143.75 crore nett at the Indian box office. Based on the current trend, the film is expected to conclude its theatrical run around the Rs. 150 crore mark. If achieved, it would be a strong total and the highest-grossing film of Hashmi’s career.
Awarapan 2 is a sequel to the 2007 film Awarapan, which underperformed upon its original release but subsequently developed a cult following. The success of intense romantic dramas with popular music in recent years helped revive interest in the genre, eventually paving the way for the sequel.
The decision has paid off handsomely for the makers. Awarapan 2 has turned into a Super Hit venture despite following a film that was a disaster on its initial release. Its performance is particularly noteworthy given the unusual trajectory of the franchise.
Emraan Hashmi, meanwhile, is set to appear next in Gunmaaster G9, marking his reunion with Himesh Reshammiya.
The day-wise box office collections of Awarapan 2 in India are as follows:
| Day/Week | Nett Collection |
|---|---|
| Week 1 | Rs. 111.50 crore |
| Week 2 | Rs. 28.75 crore |
| 3rd Weekend | Rs. 3.50 crore |
| Total | Rs. 143.75 crore |
