The Story in Brief
Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 has grossed over Rs 12.05 crore net by 6 pm on its opening day, exceeding the entire lifetime run of the first Awarapan (Rs 7.76 crore), as per Sacnilk data cited by Hindustan Times. Advance bookings had already reached Rs 5.71 crore (excluding block seats) from over 1.87 lakh tickets, with Maharashtra and NCR contributing the most, according to NDTV Profit.
The film is pacing for a Rs 20 crore-plus opening day, which would be Hashmi's career-best, surpassing his previous highest opener Baadshaho (Rs 12.60 crore).
The Indian Opinion
Excitement over Awarapan 2's opening is understandable, but comparing it to a 2007 flop inflates its achievement. The real metric is whether word-of-mouth sustains beyond the first weekend. With mixed-to-positive reviews, the film's hold on Monday and the subsequent week will reveal if Emraan Hashmi's fanbase alone can drive a hit, or if early frenzy fades.
