The Story in Brief
Awarapan 2, starring Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani, earned an estimated Rs 27.20 crore worldwide on its opening day, per early Sacnilk figures cited by Times of India. The film collected Rs 21 crore net in India from 9,033 shows with 45% occupancy, plus Rs 2 crore overseas. This makes it Hashmi's biggest opener, far surpassing his previous best, Baadshaho (Rs 12.60 crore net in 2017).
The Nitin Kakkar-directed sequel had strong advance bookings, selling 20,000 tickets in top national chains as per Pinkvilla. It released in a clash with Batwara 1947. The original 2007 Awarapan had opened to just Rs 79 lakh.
The Indian Opinion
Box office reporting often cheers a 'biggest opener' narrative for stars while glossing over inflation. Hashmi's Rs 21 crore net Day 1 in 2026 is impressive, but the original Awarapan's Rs 79 lakh in 2007 is about Rs 3 crore adjusted for inflation. The real test is whether the film sustains beyond its fan-driven advance bookings (Rs 11.36 crore pre-sales) and counters Batwara 1947's likely word-of-mouth. What will its second Friday collections be?
