Awarapan 2 worldwide box office collection day 6: The Emraan Hashmi renaissance continues, even if it has slowed down a bit. Awarapan 2, the actor’s latest release, crossed ₹100 crore in India on Tuesday, and after that, it saw its first slowdown in earnings. However, the momentum was enough to send the film’s global earnings past ₹150 crore.

Awarapan 2 box office update

Awarapan 2 started with a record-breaking opening weekend, earning over ₹81 crore net ( ₹97 crore gross). On weekdays, Awarapan 2 first held its ground at the box office before eventually seeing a dip in earnings on Wednesday. The film collected ₹6.75 crore net on Wednesday, a near-30 % drop from the ₹9.75 crore it collected on Tuesday. After six days, the film’s domestic total now stands at ₹107.50 crore net ( ₹128 crore gross). Awarapan 2 is the first Emraan Hashmi-led film to enter the ₹100-crore club, and thereby, his highest-grossing film ever.

Overseas, too, the film picked up after a dull start. Awarapan 2 had a couple of good days internationally, bringing in $1.5 million over the weekend. After six days, its international earnings stand at $2.65 million. This takes the film’s worldwide gross to ₹153 crore. At one point, it looked as if the film would touch the ₹170 crore mark in its first week, but the Wednesday slowdown has complicated matters. The film will still end week 1 north of the ₹160-crore mark, making it a financial success that early.

Awarapan 2 beats all Emraan Hashmi films

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 ₹100 crore gross worldwide or Baadshaho, where he was one of the three leads alongside Ajay Devgn and Vidyut Jamwal. The 2017 film earned ₹130 crore worldwide. Awarapan 2 has surpassed the lifetime collections of both these films. The highest-grossing film featuring Emraan Hashmi remains Tiger 3. The Salman Khan-led spy thriller earned ₹470 crore worldwide, a mark that Awarapan 2 will surely not breach.

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).
