Awarapan 2 Nears ₹170 Crore Worldwide After Day Eight
Awarapan 2 continued to make strong money during its second week in cinemas.
On its eighth day, it earned ₹5.50 crore in India.
It also earned ₹1 crore from audiences outside India.
This brought its worldwide total to ₹169.17 crore.
The movie was shown in fewer theatres than the day before, and fewer seats were occupied.
Even so, it is very close to reaching ₹170 crore worldwide.
The film had a strong first week and benefited from having no major new Hindi releases.
Its earnings could be affected when Toxic arrives on August 26, 2026.
Critics were divided, but the movie has been especially successful with Emraan Hashmi’s fans.
Awarapan 2 earned ₹5.50 crore net in India on Day 8, taking its domestic net total to ₹119 crore.
The film collected ₹1 crore overseas on Day 8, bringing its worldwide gross to ₹169.17 crore.
Its Day 8 total represented an 8.3% decline from the previous day, while reported occupancy fell to 12%.
The film played in 9,856 theatres on Day 8, down from 10,832 shows on Day 7.
Awarapan 2 has been described as a super hit, though critics gave it mixed reviews and its future run may face competition from Toxic.

Quotes
Free Press Journal reviewer
Movie critic for Free Press Journal
“Overall, Awarapan 2 offers nothing new or great. A better screenplay and direction could have saved the movie, and the predictable twists and turns are the villain here. Emraan's fans are in for a treat, but others might get disappointed. So, watch it only if you are an Emraan Hashmi fan!”

“"As for part three, Vishesh Bhatt (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."”
