The contrast with its clash release Batwara 1947 is also hard to miss. While Awarapan 2 added ₹9.25 crore on its first Monday, Sunny Deol’s film managed only ₹2 crore net on the same day, taking its four-day total to ₹28.50 crore. The gap between the two films has widened considerably, with Awarapan 2 now firmly leading the box office race.

Can Awarapan 2 reach ₹200 crore?

Trade estimates currently put its lifetime India net collection in the ₹150-160 crore range, although a sustained run in the coming days could push the film considerably higher.

With two weeks ahead before Yash's Toxic arrives in theatres, Awarapan 2 has a good opportunity to keep adding to its total. If the momentum continues, the sequel could even put the ₹200 crore mark within reach.

Emraan Hashmi returns as Shiv Pandit

Directed by Nitin Kakkar and produced by Vishesh Bhatt, Awarapan 2 brings Emraan Hashmi back as Shiv Pandit nearly 19 years after the original film. Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi feature in important roles, while the cast also includes Puran Gabbi, Anirudh Rawal, Surendar Vicky, Vijayant Kohli and Atul Kumar.

An excerpt from Hindustan Times review reads: “The first half of this Nitin Kakkar directorial is effective in keeping the viewer hooked, with the rehash of the popular Toh Phir Aao doing much of the heavy lifting on the nostalgia front. There are stretches, though, where the story begins to test your patience and feels repetitive. There’s a gunfight every 15-20 minutes, which means the characters barely have time to process one shootout before another one arrives.”
