Awarapan 2 Slides on Day 6 After Surpassing the ₹100 Crore Milestone

Bharatmorningnews.com – Emraan Hashmi's return to the Shivam Pandit role — nearly two decades after the 2007 original — produced a blockbuster opening, but the midweek numbers tell a different story. By Wednesday evening, the film's momentum had visibly cooled.

The Midweek Dip

As of 8 PM on Wednesday (its sixth theatrical day), Awarapan 2 banked ₹3.93 crore according to the latest Sacnilk update. That figure marks the weakest single-day performance the title has posted since its release. The preceding Tuesday still managed ₹9.75 crore, while Monday — often the steepest post-weekend drop — held at ₹9.25 crore.

Weekend and Opening-Day Numbers

The film's initial trajectory was steep. Opening day generated ₹22 crore, Saturday surged to ₹33.75 crore, and Sunday settled at ₹26 crore. Those combined figures pushed the India net total past the ₹100 crore threshold within five days, landing at ₹104.68 crore as of the latest tally. Final India collections had yet to be reported at the time of writing.

Production and Cast

Nitin Kakkar helms the sequel, with Vishesh Bhatt producing. Alongside Hashmi reprising his signature action role, the screen shares space with Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi. Supporting players include Puran Gabbi, Anirudh Rawal, Surendar Vicky, Vijayant Kohli, and Atul Kumar.

Competitive Context

Despite sharing screens with Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947, Awarapan 2 cleared the ₹50 crore benchmark in just two days — a pace that outstripped the lifetime theatrical hauls of earlier Hashmi hits such as Jannat and Murder.

Producer's Stance

In a pre-release conversation with Zoom, Bhatt pushed back against the "cash grab" label often attached to sequels:

"If you want to watch films like Awarapan, you will have to support it in cinemas. Otherwise, how would I know that you are interested in that? If I know, I will put in my hard-earned money to cash-grab it. Let me tell you, Awarapan 2 is not a cash grab film."

Critical Reception

Hindustan Times' review struck a mixed note on the directorial pacing:

"The first half of this Nitin Kakkar directorial is effective in keeping the viewer hooked, with the rehash of the popular Toh Phir Aao doing much of the heavy lifting on the nostalgia front. There are stretches, though, where the story begins to test your patience and feels repetitive. There's a gunfight every 15-20 minutes, which means the characters barely have time to process one shootout before another one arrives."
