The much-anticipated sequel Awarapan 2, starring Emraan Hashmi, continues its impressive run at the box office, showing strong momentum on Day 5. The film, which opened to positive audience response and steady footfall, is now on the verge of crossing the coveted Rs 150 crore mark, solidifying its position as one of the biggest hits of the year.
According to early trade estimates, Awarapan 2 witnessed a stable performance on its fifth day, earning approximately Rs 12–14 crore across domestic markets. Despite the usual weekday slowdown, the film has managed to sustain audience interest, thanks to strong word-of-mouth and a loyal fan base for Hashmi’s intense performances.
The film’s total collection currently stands close to Rs 140 crore, and industry experts predict that it will comfortably surpass the Rs 150 crore milestone within the next 24 hours. If this trend continues, Awarapan 2 could soon enter the Rs 200 crore club, a feat that would mark a significant achievement for the franchise.
Directed with a mix of action, emotion, and gripping storytelling, the sequel builds upon the legacy of the original Awarapan. Audiences have particularly praised the film’s music, emotional depth, and Hashmi’s powerful portrayal, which has once again proven his box office pull.
Trade analysts believe that the film’s success can also be attributed to limited competition at the box office and a strategic release window. Multiplexes in metro cities, as well as single screens in smaller towns, are reporting steady occupancy rates, especially during evening and night shows.
Looking ahead, the upcoming weekend is expected to give another boost to the film’s earnings. With advance bookings already picking up pace, Awarapan 2 appears set for a strong second weekend, which could further cement its blockbuster status.
As the film inches closer to the Rs 150 crore mark, it stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of Emraan Hashmi and the franchise’s emotional storytelling. All eyes are now on how far Awarapan 2 can go in its box office journey.
