Awarapan 2 Box Office Day 1: Emraan Hashmi Scores Career Best; Opens With Rs 21 Cr Beating Part 1 Lifetime Collection

Emraan Hashmi’s Shivam Pandit finally seems to have received his due at the box office. Awarapan 2, the highly anticipated sequel, has had a record-breaking start, poised to set new benchmarks for Emraan Hashmi and Vishesh Films. Remarkably, it has already surpassed the total lifetime collection of the original Awarapan before the end of its first day. The film is tracking to have one of the biggest openings for Bollywood in 2026 and has comfortably outperformed Batwara 1947, the Sunny Deol-starrer that clashed with it at the box office on August 14. Scroll down to read the full report.

Awarapan 2 Box Office

According to Sacnilk, Awarapan 2 earned over Rs 21 crore net on its opening day, making it the highest-earning film in the emerging franchise. The first Awarapan, released in 2007, was a box office failure, earning only Rs 7.76 crore during its lifetime. Awarapan 2 took just 8 hours to cross that mark. The India Gross Collection was Rs 25.20 crore, Overseas Gross was Rs 2 crore, and the Worldwide Total was Rs 27.20 crore.

Awarapan 2 Sets A New Record For Emraan Hashmi

Awarapan 2 has been selling over 20,000 tickets per hour on BookMyShow throughout Friday. This is an extraordinary pace for any film without a huge superstar. It marks the biggest opening of Emraan Hashmi’s career. Previously, only two of Emraan’s films had double-digit openings: Raaz 2, which opened at Rs 10.35 crore in 2012, and Baadshaho, earning Rs 12.60 crore on its release day in 2017. Awarapan 2 is set to surpass both these records easily. The first Awarapan had an opening-day collection of just Rs 79 lakh and a first-weekend total of Rs 2.88 crore, figures that are considered modest even after adjusting for inflation.
