'Awarapan 2' box office day 10: Emraan's film declared hit with 202% profit

Emraan Hashmi's sequel to the 2005 hit 'Awarapan', titled 'Awarapan 2', has proven to be a massive box office success in India this year. The romantic action drama has crossed the Rs. 150 crore mark in net collection, with a remarkable 202% profit margin in just 10 days. The film has been boosted significantly by the Independence Day holiday period, which helped maintain its strong momentum throughout its first week.

By Day 8, 'Awarapan 2' had generated Rs. 5.75 crore from 9,858 showings, pushing its total India gross to Rs. 162 crore. Its overseas collection added another Rs. 1 crore, resulting in a worldwide gross of Rs. 192 crore.

This strong performance has given Emraan Hashmi a personal milestone as well. He has now surpassed the profit percentage of his first superhit, 'Murder', which recorded a 200% profit at the box office. 'Awarapan 2' is currently the fifth highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2026, surpassing 'Welcome To The Jungle', which collected Rs. 137.93 crore. With its current pace, the film could even surpass Ajay Devgn's comedy 'Dhamaal 4' in lifetime collection by the end of its second week.

The cast of 'Awarapan 2' includes Emraan Hashmi, Disha Patani, and Shabana Azmi. The film's success is attributed to a strong word-of-mouth response, proving that sequels can indeed achieve far beyond their initial expectations.
