Awarapan 2 has already opened extremely well at the box office. Emraan Hashmi’s comeback as Shivam has brought back the memories of the cult hit made in 2007 and the sequel has already crossed the ₹50 crore mark in India in its first two days. The film was released on August 14, 2026 amidst the Independence Day weekend and was competing with Batwara 1947 starring Sunny Deol. However, Awarapan 2 has proved itself to be the better player up to now, despite the opposition.

One of the most promised Bollywood sequels is Awarapan 2 and it’s with Emraan Hashmi who has returned almost 20 years after Awarapan. The movie has created some excitement among those that were fond of the 2007 cult-classic, mainly due to the emotional plot, the familiar characters and the musical memorabilia. The sequel is helmed by director Nitin Kakkar and Disha Patani is also seen in a prominent role.

Awarapan 2 has definitely garnered a lot of attention from a box-office standpoint since its theatrical release, as audiences have been watching closely how the movie is doing day-wise, weekend-wise and how it is doing all over the world. The movie’s release at the box-office would be particularly fascinating as the original Awarapan earned a much wider audience over the years despite its much lower than expected theatrical release. This article is about the Awarapan’s day-wise box office collection, worldwide grossing of Awarapan, opening weekend of Awarapan, Budget, hit and flop, and why Awarapan failed to perform well in the theatres.

Awarapan 2 started off with a bang, and it is Shivam, two almost more than a decade back, with Emraan Hashmi. The latest trade numbers of the sequel show that the movie has secured a net of around ₹22 crore in India on Day 1 and is among the biggest opening days of Hashmi’s career. The movie also grossed an estimated ₹26.20 crore in India and its collection on opening day has been reported as ₹28 crore globally. The excitement of the last Awarapan giving rise to a sense of ‘nose at the grindstone’ and advance bookings and the weekend for Independence Day were all factors for the strong start.
The Independence Day holiday gave the film the much needed boost it needed on Day 2. Awarapan 2 collected around ₹33.75 crore net in India after 2 days of domestic release in India while its two days gross tally was at ₹55.75 crore in India. This is up over 50% from the first day, demonstrating good audience engagement post day one. Around ₹66.90 crore gross has been collected from the domestic market and about ₹6 crore gross was collected in the overseas market in two days. This led to a whopping ₹72.90 crore worldwide gross of the film. Awarapan 2 looks in a good place to start its weekend after explosive Day 2 gains. The movie has a decent start in the box office as Sunday has yet to be counted. Its weekend success will be of little importance, compared to how it performs on a weekday, when it will decide if the sequel can turn this opening into a long theatrical success.
Final Words
Awarapan 2 has done well in the opening weekend, overall. The movie saw a huge jump on Day 2 with its India net collection clocking in at approximately ₹55.75 crore as per various trade reports. The initial response is positive as has seen audiences flock to the sequel, with Emraan Hashmi’s return as Shivam and the love for the original Awarapan.
The next crucial test is the film’s weekday showing as it is expected to take the film forward on Sunday. A solid finish on the first week may propel Awarapan 2 to become a big theatrical hit, and give it a good start to the film run. For the moment, the sequel has been giving the kind of start it was looking for and so has the fans.
