Awarapan 2 Box Office Collection Day 6 Highlights: Emraan Hashmi film crosses Rs 150 crore mark worldwide

Emraan Hashmi film Awarapan 2, running across 6,439 shows, has collected around Rs 1.90 crore as of 4 pm on Thursday. This takes the film’s total India gross collection to Rs 130.53 crore, while its India net collection stands at Rs 109.40 crore.

Awarapan 2 ends on a note that hints at Shivam’s story continuing. When asked whether the third instalment is in the works, writer Bilal Siddiqi revealed in his interview with Hindustan Times that he and producer Vishesh Bhatt have not yet discussed the project in detail. “As for part three, Vishesh (Bhatt, the film’s producer) and I have not had time to speak beyond just a few messages after the film came out. I am yet to hear from him what his plans are. I hope he thinks of it soon, of taking it forward soon, and then we'll see what it is. I'm very excited,” he said.

X user @ohhbaazigar posted, "Awarapan 2 is a badly made sequel of a masterpiece movie. this movie was like a mixture of bajrangi bhaijaan + shivaay with the bgm of awarapan. Idk why this movie is working so much at the box office but quality wise it's a really bad film with a very thin plotline. 2/5."

As Awarapan 2 continues its successful theatrical run, producer Vishesh Bhatt has opened up about casting Disha Patani opposite Emraan Hashmi and how her character differs from the one played by Shriya Saran in Awarapan. In an interview with DNA, he explained that Disha brought a different energy and sensibility to the sequel, allowing the makers to create a fresh romantic dynamic rather than simply recreating the original pairing.

Emraan Hashmi-starrer Awarapan 2 recorded a morning occupancy of 8.92% on Day 7, indicating a slow start to Thursday.

X fan @NitinTi39500529 took to X to post, "Awarapan 2 is finally getting the attention it deserves! That nostalgia, those intense vibes, and Emraan Hashmi back on screen — already feels like a trip down memory lane. "

Awarapan 2 will stream on Amazon Prime Video, which has been revealed as the film’s official streaming partner in the theatrical version’s opening credits.

Taran Adarsh noted that the second weekend will provide a clearer picture of Awarapan 2’s lifetime business, as the film has shown strong momentum in its first week. However, its theatrical run is expected to face competition when Toxic arrives in cinemas on Wednesday, August 26. The film’s performance over the second weekend will therefore be crucial in determining how far its box office journey can go.

An old video of Salman Khan praising Emraan Hashmi has resurfaced following the success of Awarapan 2. During the music launch of Ishkq In Paris in 2012, Salman called Emraan the “most underrated actor” and said he deserved his due after delivering several successful films. Preity Zinta, who was also present at the event, appeared to agree with Salman’s assessment. With Awarapan 2 now performing strongly at the box office, the decade-old praise has once again caught fans’ attention.

On Day 6, Awarapan 2 maintained a significant lead over Batwara 1947 at the box office. Awarapan 2 collected Rs 6.75 crore net across 11,071 shows, taking its India net total to Rs 107.50 crore and India gross to Rs 128.29 crore. In comparison, Batwara 1947 earned Rs 1.40 crore net from 6,475 shows, taking its India net collection to Rs 32.15 crore and gross to Rs 38.17 crore. The gap was even more evident in the overseas market. Awarapan 2 added Rs 1.50 crore on Day 6, taking its overseas gross to Rs 25.30 crore and worldwide gross to Rs 153.59 crore . Batwara 1947, meanwhile, collected Rs 0.50 crore overseas, with its overseas gross reaching Rs 7.25 crore and worldwide gross standing at Rs 45.42 crore. Overall, Awarapan 2 is comfortably ahead of Batwara 1947, with more than three times the India net collection and a worldwide gross more than three times that of the Sunny Deol starrer after six days.
