Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 earned an estimated Rs 6.75 crore net in India on its sixth day, Wednesday, bringing its domestic net total to Rs 107.50 crore, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The film's worldwide gross crossed Rs 153.59 crore, ABP Live reports. The figure marks a 16 to 30 percent decline from Tuesday's collection of Rs 9.75 crore. The film is now the sixth highest-grossing Hindi film of 2026, having surpassed Cocktail 2's lifetime total of Rs 104.53 crore. It is Rs 26.5 crore short of Welcome to the Jungle's Rs 137.93 crore, the fifth spot, a milestone Koimoi predicts it will reach by the end of its second weekend. Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947, which released on the same date, collected Rs 1.40 crore net on day six, with a worldwide gross of Rs 45.42 crore, ABP Live reports. Awarapan 2 marks Emraan Hashmi's first solo 100-crore film. The Nitin Kakkar-directed sequel also stars Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

All three sources report the same core figures for Awarapan 2's day six collection, but their frames diverge sharply. Koimoi leads with the film's chase of a top-five position, calling its hold 'unbelievable' and foregrounding the 26.5-crore gap to the next slot, a sensationalist, record-chasing frame. The Times of India reports a straightforward 16 percent Wednesday drop, neutral-report style with a day-wise table. ABP Live pits Awarapan 2 against Batwara 1947 and notes a 30.8 percent day-on-day decline, presenting the milestone (sixth highest of the year) as a fact, not a boast. Koimoi omits the percentage drops entirely, ABP highlights them. The measured read: the film is strong but clearly slowing post-holiday. Watch for the second-weekend hold: if it clears 26.5 crore by Sunday, it enters the top five, if not, the decline deepens.
