Mumbai: Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2 has made an impressive start at the Indian box office, collecting around ₹82 crore net in its opening weekend. The strong performance has established the film as a major theatrical success and puts it on track for an even bigger run in the coming days.
Released on August 14, 2026, the film brings Emraan Hashmi back as Shivam Pandit, the character he played in the 2007 film Awarapan. The sequel also stars Disha Patani and has benefited significantly from the nostalgia surrounding the original movie.
Strong Opening Weekend
Awarapan 2 opened with approximately ₹22 crore net on its first day. The film then recorded a major jump on Saturday, earning around ₹33.75 crore, before collecting approximately ₹26 crore on Sunday.
This took the three-day domestic total to about ₹81.75 crore net, making the film one of the strongest-performing Hindi releases of 2026.
Emraan Hashmi’s Biggest Opening
The film’s opening has also become a significant milestone for Emraan Hashmi. Awarapan 2 reportedly delivered the actor’s biggest opening to date, with the movie benefiting from strong audience interest in the return of his popular character.
The sequel also crossed the lifetime domestic collection of the original Awarapan within just three days, highlighting the strong response from audiences.
Strong Worldwide Performance
The movie’s success is not limited to India. According to Pinkvilla’s box-office report, Awarapan 2 collected approximately ₹114 crore worldwide during its opening weekend.
The film’s strong performance has also helped it emerge as a Super Hit, with the possibility of reaching blockbuster status depending on how well it performs during the weekdays.
What Lies Ahead?
The next major test for Awarapan 2 will be its weekday performance. A strong hold from Monday onward could push the film rapidly toward the ₹100 crore net mark in India.
With positive audience response, nostalgia for the original and strong opening numbers, Emraan Hashmi’s sequel has clearly emerged as one of the surprise box-office successes of 2026.
Box-office figures are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the source and subsequent reporting.
