The Story in Brief
Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2 earned around Rs 15.21 crore in India by 5 pm on Saturday, taking its two-day net total to over Rs 37.21 crore, Hindustan Times reports, citing Sacnilk. The film had opened at Rs 22 crore net on Friday, its biggest opening as a lead actor. Saturday occupancy rose from 32% in morning shows to 70% in the afternoon.
Koimoi puts the film’s Friday India net collection at Rs 23.4 crore and its worldwide gross at Rs 29.61 crore, including Rs 2 crore overseas. It says the film came within Rs 46 lakh of Emraan Hashmi’s previous release Haq’s lifetime worldwide gross. The Nitin Kakkar-directed sequel also stars Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi.
The Indian Opinion
Early box-office claims often turn a few strong shows into a verdict. The competing figures from Hindustan Times and Koimoi show why India net, India gross and worldwide gross must not be mixed. A strong weekend, helped by the Independence Day holiday and nostalgia, does not by itself prove a hit. The useful test is the film’s Monday hold and its final domestic net total, not claims of a “massive” run after two days.
