Awarapan 2 has bounced back strongly during its second weekend. The Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani starrer had maintained a steady pace on its second Friday, and the Saturday business has now brought the film back on the growth track.

The sequel has already established itself as one of Bollywood’s biggest successes of 2026. Its performance in Week 2 is now becoming equally interesting, particularly because the film is facing no major new release this weekend.

Awarapan 2 has collected Rs 9 crore nett on Day 9, Saturday, at the Indian box office. The film had collected Rs 6.21 crore on its second Friday. With Saturday’s business, it registered a strong 44.92% jump in the last 24 hours. This is exactly the kind of growth the film needed at the beginning of its second weekend. The India nett collection now stands at Rs 132.87 crore after nine days. The India gross collection has reached Rs 156.80 crore.
| 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 |
| Day 6 – Wednesday | Rs 7.00 crore |
| Day 7 – Thursday | Rs 6.03 crore |
| Day 8 – Friday | Rs 6.21 crore |
| Day 9 – Saturday | Rs 9.00 crore |
| Total | Rs 132.87 crore |
The second Saturday performance is particularly encouraging because Awarapan 2 had already completed a successful first week. Instead of slowing down further, the film has managed to register a significant weekend jump.
Awarapan 2 Back On The Growth Track
The 44.92% growth on Saturday is a clear indication that the film continues to have audience demand. Awarapan 2 collected Rs 6.21 crore on Day 8 and jumped to Rs 9 crore on Day 9.
The second Friday was always expected to be a relatively controlled day after the film’s first-week run. The real test was whether the audience would return in significant numbers over the weekend. Saturday has delivered the answer. The film has benefited from the lack of any major release this Friday. With no new Hindi film taking away a substantial share of screens and shows, Awarapan 2 has been able to retain its theatrical presence.
Second Weekend Turns Into Another Big One
Awarapan 2’s second weekend is now shaping up strongly. The film has already added Rs 9 crore on Saturday. Sunday can provide another major boost, especially if occupancy rises further across the afternoon and evening shows. The film’s performance is being driven by a combination of positive word of mouth, strong audience familiarity with the Awarapan franchise and the continuing popularity of Emraan Hashmi as Shivam Pandit.
The second weekend was always going to be important for the film’s lifetime prospects. After Saturday’s growth, the weekend is now looking increasingly promising.
Rs 150 Crore Is Getting Closer
Awarapan 2 has reached Rs 132.87 crore after nine days. The film now needs approximately Rs 17.13 crore more to reach the Rs 150 crore milestone. That target is looking increasingly achievable. With Sunday still remaining in the second weekend and several more days available before Toxic arrives, the film has enough time to cover the remaining distance.
A strong Sunday could take Awarapan 2 significantly closer to the milestone. The film’s current momentum also suggests that Rs 150 crore is no longer an ambitious long-term target. It has become a realistic near-term possibility.
Awarapan 2 Continues Its Dominant Run
The film’s journey has been remarkably consistent. It opened with Rs 23.40 crore on Day 1 and then recorded a huge Rs 34.09 crore on Saturday. Sunday followed with Rs 26.82 crore. The film remained in double digits on Monday and Tuesday before settling at Rs 7 crore and Rs 6.03 crore on Wednesday and Thursday respectively. The second Friday brought Rs 6.21 crore. Now, the second Saturday has pushed the collection up to Rs 9 crore.
| Milestone | Status |
|---|---|
| 100 Crore Club | Achieved |
| Emraan Hashmi’s First Solo 100 Crore Film | Achieved |
| Super-Hit Verdict | Achieved |
| Rs 150 Crore Milestone | Rs 17.13 crore away |
The trend shows that the film is still capable of generating meaningful growth when audience footfalls increase over the weekend. That is a very healthy sign for its remaining theatrical run.
Tier 2 And Tier 3 Centres Continue To Drive The Film
One of the biggest reasons behind Awarapan 2’s sustained performance has been its strong acceptance beyond the major metropolitan markets. Tier 2 and Tier 3 centres have continued to contribute strongly. Non-national chains and single-screen properties have also played an important role.
The film’s connection with audiences in these markets has helped it remain stable through the weekdays and bounce back on Saturday. This wider audience acceptance is particularly important during Week 2. Once a film enters its second week, its business increasingly depends on sustained word of mouth rather than opening-day curiosity. Awarapan 2 appears to have successfully crossed that stage.
Emraan Hashmi’s Biggest Solo Success
Awarapan 2 has already created a major milestone for Emraan Hashmi. The film became his first solo release to cross the Rs 100 crore mark and has emerged as his highest-grossing Bollywood film as a solo or parallel lead.
The achievement is especially significant because Awarapan itself developed a cult following over the years. Emraan’s return as Shivam Pandit created strong nostalgia among audiences who grew up with the original film. The sequel has now turned that nostalgia into one of the year’s biggest box office successes.
Budget, Box Office, And Profit
| Parameter | Awarapan 2 |
|---|---|
| Budget | Rs 45 crore |
| India Net Collection | Rs 132.87 crore |
| Budget Recovery | 295.27% |
| Profit | Rs 87.87 crore |
| ROI | 195.27% |
| India Gross | Rs 156.80 crore |
| Verdict | Super-Hit |
Awarapan 2 is firmly established as a Super-Hit at the box office. The reported budget of the film is Rs 45 crore, while the India nett collection has reached Rs 132.87 crore after nine days. On a simple India nett collection minus budget calculation, the film has generated a surplus of Rs 87.87 crore.
The budget recovery stands at approximately 295.27%, while the simple ROI stands at approximately 195.27%. These calculations are based on the reported production budget and India nett theatrical collection. Actual producer and distributor profitability can vary depending on revenue sharing, distribution costs, marketing expenses and other commercial factors. The film is now firmly focused on maximising its lifetime collection before the arrival of Toxic.
Toxic Arrives This Wednesday
Awarapan 2’s uninterrupted run will soon face its biggest challenge. Toxic arrives in theatres this Wednesday. That gives Awarapan 2 only a few more days to maximise its business before the new release starts taking away screens and shows.
The timing makes the second weekend particularly important. A strong Sunday followed by healthy Monday and Tuesday collections could allow Awarapan 2 to build a substantial cushion before the new competition arrives. The film has already benefited from a clear run this weekend, and it has used that advantage effectively.
Day 10 Could Bring Another Strong Number
Awarapan 2 has recorded a 44.92% jump on Saturday, showing that audiences are returning in significant numbers. If the film maintains this momentum on Sunday, another strong collection should be on the cards. As per the early estimate, another double digit day is firmly on the cards for Awarapan 2. The film’s performance across Tier 2 and Tier 3 centres will be particularly important. The current trend suggests that Awarapan 2 is not merely surviving in Week 2. It is actively competing for audience attention and adding meaningful collections to its total.
Final Verdict
Awarapan 2 has delivered a superb second Saturday, collecting Rs 9 crore and recording a strong 44.92% jump over its second Friday. With Rs 132.87 crore nett already in the bank, the film is now only Rs 17.13 crore away from the Rs 150 crore milestone. The second weekend is turning into another big phase of its theatrical run, and the absence of a major release has worked heavily in its favour. With Sunday still ahead and Toxic arriving this Wednesday, Awarapan 2 has a valuable final stretch to maximise its lifetime collection. The film remains a Super-Hit and is continuing its dominant run at the Indian box office.
