Emraan Hashmi’s ‘Awarapan 2’ Climbs to New Heights as Box Office Journey Nears End

In its third weekend, ‘Awarapan 2’ collected a respectable Rs. 3.50 crore, even as it faced an 80% dip from the previous week. A weekend promotion offering a Buy-One-Get-One ticket deal helped buoy the numbers, yet the returns are still modest. With the finish line in sight, the film is in the final stretch of its theatrical run.

This action-packed romantic drama, starring Emraan Hashmi, has raked in a robust Rs. 143.75 crore nett across India. Projections suggest the film will close its journey with approximately Rs. 150 crore in earnings—marking a high point in Hashmi’s career.

‘Awarapan 2’ is a sequel to the 2007 release, which initially stumbled at the box office but went on to cultivate a devoted fan base. The recent resurgence in popularity for dramatic love stories with memorable soundtracks has brought Emraan Hashmi back into the limelight. Known for his lineup of iconic films in the early 2010s, such as Murder 2, Raaz 3, Jannat 2, and Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, Hashmi experienced a career ebb in the latter half of the decade. Now, with ‘Awarapan 2’, he returns to a genre that once defined his stardom.
