# Awarapan 2 nears Rs 100 crore in India by Day 5 2026-08-18T10:38:52+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani's 'Awarapan 2' is set to cross Rs 100 crore in India by Day 5, with a total India net collection of Rs 92.81 crore as of Tuesday morning. The Nitin Kakkar-directed film earned Rs 1.81 crore on Day 5 so far, after a sharp drop from the weekend's Rs 26-33 crore daily figures, according to Sacnilk data. In overseas markets, the film has collected Rs 21.81 crore in four days, just 17 lakh short of overtaking 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' (Rs 21.98 crore) to become Bollywood's 9th highest-grossing film of 2026 overseas. The UAE-GCC region contributed over Rs 9.57 crore, followed by North America (Rs 4.69 crore) and the UK (Rs 2.59 crore). The worldwide gross stands at Rs 130.82 crore as of Day 4. Released on August 14, 'Awarapan 2' faces competition from Sunny Deol's 'Batwara 1947' and Hollywood's 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'. The film is expected to continue its run until the release of 'Toxic' on August 26. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both reports treat box office figures as the primary news, diverging only in emphasis. Times of India leads with the Rs 100 crore domestic milestone and frames the film's dip on Day 5 as a natural weekday trend, while also highlighting competition. Koimoi focuses on the overseas performance, noting the film is 20 lakh from becoming Bollywood's 9th highest-grosser of 2026 abroad. Neither source adopts a critical stance toward the film or industry, both present numbers from Sacnilk or estimates without independent verification. The key takeaway is that despite a sharp Monday drop, the film has strong domestic and overseas collections, with a clear target to watch: crossing Rs 100 crore in India by Day 5 and overtaking 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' overseas. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Leads with domestic milestone and competition framing, treats dip as routine - koimoi.com (neutral report) Leads with overseas milestone and targeting 9th rank, celebratory tone This story was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above.
