# Awarapan 2 crosses Rs 185 crore worldwide, nears Rs 200 crore 2026-08-23T10:00:48+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani's Awarapan 2 has earned Rs 185.61 crore gross worldwide in nine days, according to box office figures reported by Koimoi. The film earned Rs 132.87 crore net in India and Rs 28.81 crore overseas. India TV reports the film crossed Rs 180 crore on its ninth day, August 22. Koimoi reports the film has surpassed Alia Bhatt's Alpha in overseas earnings and is now the sixth highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2026 overseas. The film is expected to enter the Rs 200 crore club soon, which would make it Emraan Hashmi's third film to achieve that mark after Tiger 3 and They Call Him OG. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both sources report the same box office milestone, but Koimoi frames the story as a competitive race, beating Alpha overseas, chasing Welcome To The Jungle, and loading the 200 crore club, while India TV simply states the fact. Koimoi's language is overtly promotional, using phrases like 'swiftly moving' and 'exciting update', and it publishes a ranked list of Bollywood films. The neutral takeaway is that Awarapan 2 has performed strongly at the box office, but the Rs 200 crore mark and its position among 2026 releases are still pending. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 1 neutral, 1 sensationalist - indiatvnews.com (neutral report) Leads with a straight box office figure and release day, no competitive framing or drama. - koimoi.com (sensationalist) Frames the story as a race against other films and the '200 crore club', uses boosterish language.
