The film’s performance is particularly significant for Emraan Hashmi. Awarapan 2 has become his highest-grossing solo film, giving the actor one of the biggest commercial successes of his career.

The sequel opened strongly on its first day, collecting around ₹22 crore in India. It then witnessed a major jump on Saturday, earning ₹33.75 crore. Sunday added another ₹26 crore, taking its opening weekend total to ₹81.75 crore. The film continued its run during the weekdays, crossing the ₹100 crore India net milestone within five days.

The success has been helped by strong audience curiosity surrounding the return of the Awarapan franchise. The original 2007 film developed a cult following despite its modest theatrical performance. Almost two decades later, the return of Emraan Hashmi as Shivam Pandit created considerable nostalgia among fans.

Awarapan 2 also stars Disha Patani, along with Shabana Azmi and Suvinder Vicky. Directed by Nitin Kakkar, the sequel combines romance, action and emotional drama while attempting to build on the identity of its predecessor. (The Times of India⁠)

Although the film experienced a noticeable slowdown on Wednesday, when it earned ₹6.75 crore in India, its overall performance remains impressive. Its worldwide collection has already moved beyond ₹150 crore, putting the film on course for an even bigger theatrical run. (India Today⁠)

With the second weekend approaching, Awarapan 2 has already established itself as a surprise blockbuster. For Emraan Hashmi, the film’s success represents an important career milestone and proves that audiences are still eager to see him lead a big-screen romantic action drama.
