Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2 is enjoying a bit strong run at the box office after hitting theatres on August 14. The sequel to the 2007 cult classic has got a major boost from the Independence Day break, so more viewers kept going to cinemas on Day 2. After a decent start, the movie also saw a noticeable jump in its collections, and it crossed the Rs 50 crore mark in India within just two days. Now that the extended weekend is still on, the film’s steady pace has given the makers another reason to cheer.
Awarapan 2 Worldwide Collection: Film Crosses Rs 66 Crore Mark in Just Two Days
The movie is doing well even beyond the Indian box office, honestly. Awarapan 2 has reportedly already crossed the Rs 66 crore mark worldwide, in just two days after release. Those strong numbers seem to indicate that the Emraan Hashmi-led romantic action drama is catching on with audiences in a real way. And by bringing back his well-known character Shivam Pandit, the follow-up is creating buzz again for fans of the original Awarapan too. With an emotional plot, punchy action, and that nostalgic kind of connection, it feels like the film is really cashing in on the Independence Day weekend.
Awarapan 2 Beats Spider-Man at Indian Box Office With Impressive Day 2 Earnings
Awarapan 2 is one of the major talking points around it because of its performance as compared to the competition on the Indian box office. The Emraan Hashmi-helmed sequel has proven to be the better film of the recent releases, eclipsing Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Batwara 1947 on the Independence Day weekend. The national holiday turned out to be the biggest support for the second day’s business of the film as it exceeded the Rs 50 crore mark in India in two days. The performance is even more impressive in the case of Emraan Hashmi, as Awarapan 2 has said that it has given the actor the biggest opening of his career. The movie started with a net earning of Rs 22 crore in India and had a strong day 2. When it comes to the box office clash with Batwara 1947, which is also out on August 14, it looks like it’s only getting stronger for being the early winner.
Awarapan 2 vs Batwara 1947: Emraan Hashmi Starrer Continues Its Winning Run
The box office contest around Sunny Deol’s Batwara 1947 has been kind of one of the highlights of the Independence Day holiday weekend. While Batwara 1947 got a nice push on Day 2 and managed to rake in about Rs 19.25 crore in India, Awarapan 2 seems already way ahead in the race. Both movies are pulling in different sorts of audiences, yet Emraan Hashmi’s film is staying out front for now. Even with the weekend still sitting there, it’ll be interesting to watch whether Awarapan 2 can keep the same momentum and inch nearer to the Rs 100 crore mark.
