The Story in Brief
Awarapan 2, starring Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani, collected an estimated Rs 21 crore net in India on its first day, according to early Sacnilk figures cited by The Times of India. The film recorded about 45% occupancy across 9,033 shows. Its estimated India gross stood at Rs 25.20 crore, while overseas earnings of Rs 2 crore took the worldwide gross to Rs 27.20 crore.
The film released amid competition from Batwara 1947 and Vishwanath & Sons. Its advance booking had generated an estimated Rs 11.36 crore, including blocked seats. The Times of India reports that the opening is Emraan Hashmi’s biggest, ahead of Baadshaho’s Rs 12.60 crore net on day one. An official announcement on the film’s reported Amazon Prime Video release is awaited.
The Indian Opinion
The early numbers support a strong opening, but claims of a guaranteed blockbuster are premature. Advance bookings helped, yet the gap between expected sales and sustained footfall will decide the film’s run. Comparisons with the 2007 original also need context, since ticket prices and market size have changed. The useful test is whether Awarapan 2 holds its occupancy through the first weekend, not whether it wins day one.
