Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 earned an estimated ₹9 crore net in India on its second Saturday, day 10, bringing its total India net to around ₹132-142 crore, according to trade estimates. The sequel to the 2007 cult film has outperformed expectations, mounting a budget of ₹45 crore and generating a net profit of roughly 215% within its first 10 days, surpassing the 200% profit Emraan Hashmi's first superhit Murder had recorded.
The film has become the fifth highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2026, overtaking Welcome To The Jungle's ₹137.93 crore lifetime total. Its next target is Dhamaal 4's ₹177.86 crore, which it may surpass in its second week. Directed by Nitin Kakkar, the romantic action drama also stars Disha Patani. Sunday is expected to bring further gains as strong word-of-mouth continues to drive footfall.
Indian Opinion Analysis
123telugu.com reported the second Saturday jump as a simple audience trend, neutrally stating the ₹9 crore estimate and ₹132.87 crore total. Koimoi.com framed the same numbers as a dramatic profit milestone, 215% profit in 10 days, and explicitly compared the film to rivals, calling it "history" and "absolute hysteria." Times of India presented a balanced account of the commercial performance, noting the ₹150 crore target and the profit percentage against Murder, but with no breathlessness. The gap between a neutral earnings report and a profit-chart battle narrative is wide: koimoi.com's framing leans into spectacle, while the other sources stick to figures. A careful reader should note that all outlets agree on the film's success stated in similar total ranges, but only koimoi.com pushes the profit-percentage competitive angle heavily. Watch whether Awarapan 2 crosses Dhamaal 4's ₹177.86 crore within the second week.
