Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 is making waves in the Indian film industry, rapidly approaching the Rs 2 billion mark at the global box office. The romantic action drama, which premiered during Independence Day, has become one of the standout hits of 2026, defying expectations by maintaining its popularity well into its second week. As of Day 11, the film has grossed Rs 139 crore domestically, with a worldwide total of Rs 196.55 crore, including Rs 30.80 crore from overseas markets.
The second weekend played a crucial role in Awarapan 2's success, with ticket sales surging from Rs 5.75 crore on Day 8 to Rs 9 crore on Day 10. The strong word-of-mouth promotion is believed to be the primary driver of the film's sustained popularity. Awarapan 2 has reportedly outperformed the profit margin of Hashmi's 2004 hit, Murder, with an estimated 215% profit margin in just ten days.
The sequel has already surpassed Bollywood's highest-grossing film of 2026, Welcome To The Jungle, which closed its run with Rs 137.93 crore at the box office. If Awarapan 2's momentum continues, it could dethroned Dhamaal 4's lifetime total before the second week concludes. The film also boasts a strong supporting cast, featuring Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi.
