Awarapan 2 has reached another major milestone at the Indian box office. The Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani starrer has continued its impressive run even on the weekdays, proving that the film’s strong opening weekend was not simply the result of the Independence Day holiday.

The biggest story is Emraan Hashmi himself. After years of delivering memorable performances across different genres, the actor has finally entered the Rs 100 crore club with a film in which he is the solo lead. The achievement comes with Awarapan 2, the sequel to a film that developed a cult following despite its underwhelming theatrical run.
The film has maintained its momentum through the first five days. Even after the massive opening weekend and a strong Monday, it managed to stay in double digits on Tuesday. The discounted ticket offer played an important role in boosting the Day 5 business. However, the bigger takeaway is the consistency of the film’s performance. Awarapan 2 has now moved into a completely different phase of its theatrical journey.

| Day | India Nett Collection |
|---|---|
| Day 1 – Friday | Rs 23.40 crore |
| Day 2 – Saturday | Rs 34.09 crore |
| Day 3 – Sunday | Rs 26.82 crore |
| Day 4 – Monday | Rs 10.06 crore |
| Day 5 – Tuesday | Rs 10.26 crore |
| Total | Rs 104.63 crore |
The Day 5 number is particularly impressive because the film was coming off an extended holiday weekend. Instead of witnessing a major weekday correction, it managed to improve slightly over Monday. That shows how strongly the film has connected with its target audience.
Awarapan 2 Maintains Its Double-Digit Streak
Awarapan 2 has maintained its 10 crore+ streak on Day 5. The film collected Rs 10.06 crore on its first Monday and then recorded Rs 10.26 crore on Tuesday. That represents a slight improvement of around 1.99%. The Blockbuster Tuesday discounted ticket offer provided a clear boost. Lower ticket prices encouraged audiences to visit theatres, especially those who may have missed the film during the opening weekend.
The offer worked in the film’s favour, but it is important to remember that discounted tickets can sometimes inflate footfalls without necessarily producing a major jump in revenue. In Awarapan 2’s case, however, the film managed to stay above the Rs 10 crore mark even with the discounted pricing. That is a healthy sign for the weekday trend.
Emraan Hashmi Enters The Rs 100 Crore Club As A Solo Lead
The biggest milestone of Day 5 belongs to Emraan Hashmi. Awarapan 2 has become his first Rs 100 crore grosser as a solo lead. This is a major moment in the actor’s career. Emraan has delivered several commercially successful films throughout his career, but the Rs 100 crore mark had remained out of reach for his solo-led projects.
Awarapan 2 has finally changed that. The achievement also comes with a film that carries a strong emotional legacy. The original Awarapan was not a box office success during its initial theatrical run, but its music, characters and emotional storytelling helped it develop a loyal fan base over the years. Nineteen years later, Shivam Pandit’s return has turned into a major theatrical success.
19 Years After Awarapan, Shivam Pandit Is Back
The journey of Awarapan 2 is unusual. The first film did not create a major impact at the box office when it was released. However, its reputation grew with time. The music remained popular. Emraan Hashmi’s performance continued to be discussed. The character of Shivam Pandit became increasingly memorable.
That cult following created the foundation for Awarapan 2. Now, 19 years after the original Awarapan, Shivam Pandit is back on the big screen and has delivered Emraan Hashmi’s biggest theatrical result as a solo or parallel lead. This makes the film’s success even more meaningful. It is not simply another sequel performing well. It is a rare example of a cult film’s legacy translating into a major box office comeback.
Awarapan 2 Becomes Bollywood’s 6th Highest-Grossing Film Of 2026
| Rank | Film | India Net Collection |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dhurandhar 2 | Rs 1186.32 crore |
| 2 | Border 2 | Rs 362.76 crore |
| 3 | Bhooth Bangla | Rs 199.23 crore |
| 4 | Dhamaal 4 | Rs 177.66 crore |
| 5 | Welcome To The Jungle | Rs 137.93 crore |
| 6 | Awarapan 2 | Rs 104.63 crore |
| 7 | Cocktail 2 | Rs 104.53 crore |
| 8 | O’Romeo | Rs 83.35 crore |
| 9 | Main Vaapas Aaunga | Rs 65.15 crore |
| 10 | Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai | Rs 61.78 crore |
The Rs 104.63 crore collection has also changed Awarapan 2’s position in the Bollywood box office ranking for 2026. The film has now moved to sixth place among the highest-grossing Bollywood films of the year.
It has overtaken Cocktail 2, which has finished its theatrical run at Rs 104.53 crore. The difference between the two films is currently only Rs 10 lakh, but Awarapan 2 has achieved this milestone in just five days and still has a substantial theatrical run ahead. The film is now behind Dhurandhar 2, Border 2, Bhooth Bangla, Dhamaal 4 and Welcome To The Jungle. This ranking could change significantly in the coming days because Awarapan 2 has no major Hindi release immediately threatening its screen space.
Awarapan 2 Has A Free Run Until Toxic
One of the biggest advantages for Awarapan 2 is its theatrical window. There are no major Hindi releases this week that can significantly challenge its business. This gives the film a relatively free run at the box office.
The next major release mentioned in the current trade scenario is Toxic, which arrives on August 26. That gives Awarapan 2 valuable time to maximise its collections. The film is already performing strongly during weekdays. If it manages to hold reasonably well over the next few days, the second weekend could provide another major boost. The film is currently on track to unlock the Rs 150 crore milestone.
Awarapan 2 Could Rise Again In Weekend 2
The second weekend will be extremely important. Awarapan 2 has already demonstrated that audiences are willing to return to theatres after the initial holiday period. The first Monday and Tuesday collections have remained strong, and that provides a healthy base for Weekend 2.
The film’s biggest strength continues to be its performance beyond the metros. Tier 2 and Tier 3 centres have shown strong acceptance, while non-national chains and single screens have also contributed significantly. If these markets continue to hold, the second weekend could see a fresh jump. The absence of a major competing Hindi film further improves the film’s prospects.
Budget, Box Office And Verdict
| Parameter | Awarapan 2 |
|---|---|
| Budget | Rs 45 crore |
| India Net Collection | Rs 104.63 crore |
| Budget Recovery | 232.51% |
| Profit | Rs 59.63 crore |
| ROI | 132.51% |
| Verdict | Super-Hit |
Awarapan 2 has now emerged as a Super-Hit at the Indian box office. The film was made on a reported budget of Rs 45 crore and has already collected Rs 104.63 crore nett in India. On a simple India nett collection versus budget calculation, the film has generated a surplus of Rs 59.63 crore over the reported budget.
The budget recovery stands at approximately 232.51%, while the simple ROI stands at approximately 132.51%. These calculations are based on the reported budget and India nett collection. Actual producer and distributor profitability can vary depending on revenue sharing, marketing expenses, distribution costs and non-theatrical revenue.
Awarapan 2 Day 6 Advance Booking
The film now enters Day 6 with another interesting trend. Awarapan 2 has been allotted 11,500 shows on Wednesday, compared with 11,013 shows on Tuesday. That means exhibitors have added 487 shows despite the film moving further into the weekday phase.
This is a strong indication of the demand being witnessed at theatres. The show count has also increased substantially compared with the opening day, when the film was running across 9,122 shows. The film’s advance booking for Day 6 stands at Rs 2.65 crore gross. Compared with Tuesday’s Rs 3.83 crore advance booking, this represents a drop of approximately 30.8%. The decline is expected after the discounted Tuesday offer. Still, Rs 2.65 crore in advance sales is a decent base for the first Wednesday.
Awarapan 2 Targets Third-Biggest First Wednesday Of 2026
| Parameter | Day 6 |
|---|---|
| Advance Booking Gross | Rs 2.65 crore |
| Day 5 Advance Booking Gross | Rs 3.83 crore |
| Advance Booking Drop | 30.8% |
| Tuesday Show Count | 11,013 |
| Wednesday Show Count | 11,500 |
| Additional Shows | 487 |
| Day 6 Prediction | Around Rs 7.5 crore nett |
The current advance booking suggests that Awarapan 2 could target around Rs 7.5 crore nett on Day 6. If the film reaches that mark, it would become the third-biggest first Wednesday for a Bollywood film in 2026. It would surpass the first Wednesday collections of Dhamaal 4 at Rs 6.90 crore, Bhooth Bangla at Rs 6.80 crore, Welcome To The Jungle at Rs 6.07 crore and Cocktail 2 at Rs 5.46 crore.
Only Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Border 2 would remain ahead. Dhurandhar: The Revenge holds the top position with Rs 49 crore, while Border 2 recorded Rs 15.04 crore on its first Wednesday. The projected Rs 7.5 crore would take Awarapan 2 beyond the Rs 110 crore mark after six days.
More About Awarapan 2
Awarapan 2 is directed by Nitin Kakkar and produced by Vishesh Bhatt under the banner of Vishesh Films. The film stars Emraan Hashmi, Disha Patani, Puran Gabbi, Suvinder Vicky, Aniruddh Rawal and Shabana Azmi in prominent roles.
Emraan returns as Shivam Pandit, the character associated with the original Awarapan. The sequel combines action, romance and emotional drama while attempting to continue the legacy of the cult favourite. The theatrical response has been driven by nostalgia, Emraan Hashmi’s popularity, strong audience connect and positive word of mouth. The film’s performance across Tier 2 and Tier 3 centres has further strengthened its box office prospects.
Final Verdict
Awarapan 2 has delivered a fabulous Tuesday and achieved the biggest milestone of Emraan Hashmi’s theatrical career. With Rs 104.63 crore collected in five days, the film has become his first Rs 100 crore grosser as a solo lead and has also climbed to sixth place among Bollywood’s highest-grossing films of 2026. The Rs 45 crore-budgeted film is now a Super-Hit and has a clear theatrical window until Toxic arrives on August 26. With 11,500 shows on Wednesday and Rs 2.65 crore already coming through advance booking, Awarapan 2 is well placed to maintain a strong weekday run and make a serious push towards the Rs 150 crore milestone.
