Awarapan 2 worldwide box office collection day 5: The Emraan Hashmi renaissance continues, and this time at the box office. The actor’s latest release, Awarapan 2, is breaking box-office records in its first week in theatres. The much-anticipated sequel to the cult classic Awarapan has now raced close to the ₹150-crore mark worldwide and, in the process, surpassed the lifetime collections of some recent big Bollywood releases. And all of this has been done in just five days.
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 ( ₹97 crore gross). Over the weekdays, Awarapan 2 has retained its hold at the box office, adding ₹9.25 crore and ₹9.75 crore on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. After five days, the film’s domestic total now stands at ₹100.75 crore net ( ₹120 crore gross). With its earnings on Tuesday, Awarapan 2 has become the first Emraan Hashmi-led film to enter the ₹100-crore club, and thereby, his highest-grossing film ever.
Overseas, too, the film has picked up after a dull start. Awarapan 2 had a couple of good days internationally, bringing in $2 million over the weekend. After five days, its international earnings stand at $2.5 million. However, the film’s collections are largely sustained by the Middle East and North America. This still brings the film’s worldwide gross to ₹144 crore, with a ₹170 crore week now very likely.
Awarapan 2 beats many Bollywood hits’ lifetime hauls
Awarapan 2 is easily Emraan Hashmi’s biggest hit. The actor has appeared in big films before, but not as a solo lead. This film is led by him and is breaking the bank. Prior to this, his biggest hit had been Raaz 3, which earned ₹70 crore net in India, and ₹100 crore gross worldwide. But even more impressive is that Awarapan 2 is surpassing the final collections of several recent Bollywood releases, such as Alpha ( ₹99 crore) and Cocktail 2 ( ₹143 crore), both of which had larger budgets than this film. Awarapan 2 is already the 6th-highest-grossing Hindi film of the year and may break into the top 4 by the end of its run, beating Welcome to the Jungle ( ₹186 crore) and Dhamaal 4 ( ₹224 crore and counting).
