Awarapan 2 is a new movie starring Emraan Hashmi.
It continues the story connected to the older film Awarapan.
Many people remember the first movie, its music and Hashmi’s emotional character.
That memory encouraged audiences to watch the sequel.
The movie performed strongly during its second weekend.
It earned ₹5.75 crore on Day 8, ₹8.25 crore on Day 9 and ₹8.75 crore on Day 10.
The article says its India net collection was ₹136.25 crore and its worldwide total was close to ₹200 crore.
