Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 has entered the Rs 100 crore club at the Indian box office, collecting Rs 105.26 crore nett in six days as of Wednesday evening. Pinkvilla reports the film crossed the Rs 100 crore mark in just five days, calling it Hashmi's solo biggest grosser. The film opened at Rs 22 crore on Friday, jumped to Rs 33.75 crore on Saturday, and earned Rs 26 crore on Sunday.
Hindustan Times notes a dip on day six, with only Rs 4.51 crore collected by 9 PM on Wednesday, the lowest single-day haul so far. The film passed the Monday test with Rs 9.25 crore and earned Rs 9.75 crore on Tuesday. Produced by Vishesh Bhatt and directed by Nitin Kakkar, Awarapan 2 features Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi alongside Hashmi as Shivam Pandit, and released nearly two decades after the original.
The film clashed with Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947 but still crossed Rs 50 crore in two days, surpassing lifetime collections of Hashmi's earlier hits like Jannat and Murder. The Hindustan Times review noted the first half is effective but criticized repetitive gunfights and stretches that test patience.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Pinkvilla's framing is celebratory, leading with the Rs 100 crore milestone and calling the film a record solo grosser, while Hindustan Times leads with the day-six dip, foregrounding the lowest single-day haul. Both report the same core numbers, but Hindustan Times adds critical review context about repetitive action and nostalgia dependence, offering a more balanced picture. The middle ground: the film had a strong opening weekend and crossed a major milestone, but the significant weekday drop suggests a front-loaded run that may not sustain. Watch day 7 and weekend numbers to gauge holdover strength.
Key dates: Final day 6 and day 7 collections will show if the dip stabilises.
