The Story in Brief
Awarapan 2, starring Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani, opened in theatres on August 14, 2026. Koimoi reports a net India collection of Rs. 23.40 crore on day one, while The Times of India reports Rs. 22 crore. Both reports say the sequel surpassed the original Awarapan’s lifetime collection of Rs. 7.75 crore. The film also stars Shabana Azmi and is directed by Nitin Kakkar.
During a promotional visit to a Mumbai theatre, Hashmi thanked audiences and said, “Hopefully, Awarapan 3 will be very soon.” No third film has been officially announced. Awarapan 2 is expected to stream on Amazon Prime Video after its theatrical run, though its digital premiere date is yet to be confirmed.
The Indian Opinion
The loudest claims around Awarapan 2 are already calling one opening day a guaranteed blockbuster and treating Hashmi’s remark as confirmation of a third film. Neither conclusion is established. The reported opening figures also differ, so the final trade data matters. The real test is whether collections hold through the first weekend and recover the reported Rs. 45-crore budget.
