Corroboration: 5 independent outlets (9 source reports)

Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 has crossed Rs 100 crore worldwide in its opening weekend, with various outlets reporting the film as his highest-grossing ever. Bollywood Hungama reports the film collected Rs 82.09 crore in India by Sunday, surpassing the lifetime collection of The Dirty Picture (Rs 80 crore). Cinemaexpress and Pinkvilla report the India net at Rs 81.75 crore and Rs 81.50 crore respectively, with worldwide gross at Rs 110.10 crore according to Cinemaexpress. The film earned Rs 21.89 crore on Friday and Rs 33.77 crore on Saturday, the latter being Hashmi's highest single-day collection, per Bollywood Hungama. Koimoi reports Monday advance bookings of Rs 3.54 crore and predicts an Rs 11 crore day four, which would be the third-highest Monday of 2026. The sequel has outperformed Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947, which collected Rs 37.11 crore worldwide in the same period. Producer Vishesh Bhatt told Zoom that no distributor initially bought the film, forcing the makers to fund it themselves. The original Awarapan (2007) earned only Rs 7.75 crore lifetime. The film's strong word of mouth is driving ticket sales, with Koimoi reporting 67 tickets sold per minute on Monday morning.
