Awarapan 2 nears Rs 200 crore worldwide after steady Day 11
Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani’s ‘Awarapan 2’ has collected Rs 139 crore net in India after 11 days, according to trade tracker Sacnilk. The film earned Rs 2.75 crore on its second Monday, a 68.6% drop from the previous day’s Rs 8.75 crore. Its worldwide gross stands at Rs 196.55 crore, needing just Rs 3.45 crore more to enter the Rs 200 crore club.
The sequel opened to Rs 22 crore on Day 1 and peaked at Rs 33.75 crore on Day 2, ending Week 1 at Rs 113.50 crore India net. Directed by Nitin Kakkar and produced by Vishesh Bhatt, the film also stars Shabana Azmi and debutant Aniruddh Rawal. Yash’s ‘Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups’ releases on August 26, which may affect screen availability.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The three outlets report nearly identical box office figures, though Pinkvilla places the film on track for Rs 150 crore India net while Times of India logs Rs 141 crore India net at Day 12 live tracking and flags the approaching competition from Yash’s ‘Toxic’. Hindustan Times leads with the 69% second-Monday drop, a drama-first framing that Pinkvilla and Times of India omit. None of the sources is government-critical or pro-government on this entertainment story. The straight reporting on the numbers is uniform, the difference is only in which milestone or risk is highlighted. With ‘Toxic’ releasing on August 26, the sequel’s weekday holds this week will determine whether it crosses Rs 150 crore India net and Rs 200 crore worldwide.
