‘Awarapan 2’ Box Office Update: Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani Starrer Nears Rs 200 Crore Milestone
The action-packed sequel Awarapan 2, directed by Nitin Kakkar and starring Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani, continues to display impressive resilience at the box office. As the film enters its 12th day of theatrical release, it is currently locked in a race to secure two significant financial milestones before the highly anticipated release of Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups on August 26.
Chasing the Rs 200 Crore Global Mark
With a strong opening week and a steady performance through its second weekend, the film has firmly established itself as a commercial success. Following Day 11, the film’s worldwide gross stood at approximately Rs 196.55 crore. With only about Rs 3.45 crore required to hit the elusive Rs 200 crore global mark, the film is poised to enter this elite club within the next 48 hours.
Domestically, the film is also nearing a major benchmark. After narrowly missing the Rs 140 crore India net mark on its second Monday, the film is now within striking distance of the Rs 150 crore milestone. According to Awarapan 2 box office collection data, the film is currently tracking at Rs 0.99 crore for Day 12, bringing its total India net collection to approximately Rs 139.99 crore.
Sustaining Momentum
Awarapan 2 opened with a robust Rs 22 crore on Day 1, eventually peaking at Rs 33.75 crore on its second day. By the end of its first week, the film had already raked in Rs 113.50 crore net in India. Despite the typical weekday dip, the sequel has maintained a consistent grip on audiences, bolstered by the star power of Emraan Hashmi, who returns as the brooding protagonist Shivam, and Disha Patani, who portrays the character of Zara.
The film’s cast, which also features veterans like Shabana Azmi and Suvinder Vicky alongside debutant Aniruddh Rawal, has been praised for delivering a compelling continuation of the 2007 cult classic legacy.
The Looming Challenge
While Awarapan 2 has enjoyed a relatively clear path, the industry is bracing for a shift in momentum as the August 26 release date for Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups approaches. The arrival of such a major title is expected to trigger a significant reallocation of theater screens and capture a larger share of the audience’s attention.
Industry analysts suggest that the next few days will be critical. If the sequel can cross the Rs 200 crore worldwide gross threshold before the end of the week, it will be considered a major victory for the production team, effectively cementing its status as one of the year’s significant hits.
