Awarapan 2 box office update

Awarapan 2 set a new record for Emraan Hashmi by grossing over ₹8 crore in advance bookings alone. This was followed by a record-breaking opening weekend, in which the film earned over ₹81 crore net. On weekdays, Awarapan 2 first held its ground at the box office before eventually seeing a dip in earnings on Wednesday. But it soon recovered, sustaining the momentum on Thursday. The film collected ₹6 crore net on Thursday, only a 10% drop from the ₹6.75 crore it made on Wednesday. This allowed Awarapan 2 to end its first week at the ticket window with a domestic haul of ₹113.50 crore net. Awarapan 2 is the first Emraan Hashmi-led film to enter the ₹100-crore club, and thereby, his highest-grossing film ever.

Awarapan 2 is easily Emraan Hashmi’s biggest hit. Prior to this, his biggest hit had been Raaz 3, which earned ₹70 crore net or Baadshaho, where he was one of the three leads alongside Ajay Devgn and Vidyut Jamwal. The 2017 film earned ₹82 crore net. Awarapan 2 has surpassed the lifetime collections of both these films. But quite interestingly, Awarapan 2 is also the highest-grossing film for its production house - Vishesh Films. Run by Vishesh Bhatt now, and by Mukesh Bhatt and Mahesh Bhatt earlier, the production house had not seen a ₹100-crore hit before Awarapan 2. Raaz 3 ( ₹70 crore) and Murder 2 ( ₹47 crore) had been its biggest hits.
