Awarapan 2 collected Rs. 5.40 crore on its Day 7, registering a 10 per cent drop from the previous day. The movie wrapped up its opening week around Rs. 111.50 crore nett at the Indian box office. 

Directed by Nitin Kakkar, the romantic action drama is expected to see a good spike in its second weekend, since there is no significant release. It will have a clean run until Toxic arrives in cinemas. The Emraan Hashmi-starrer garnered mixed reactions among the audience; still, it managed to witness a Super-HIT run at the box office. One of the major reasons behind its success is the cult fanbase of OG Awarapan and the nostalgia factor. 

Co-starring Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi, the movie has already emerged as the highest-grossing film for a solo Emraan Hashmi film. If Awarapan 2 manages to hold well further as well, it will bag a Blockbuster verdict. 

The day-wise box office collections of Awarapan 2 in India are as follows:

Awarapan 2 is a sequel to the 2007 film, which was a DISASTER upon its original release but later garnered a cult following. When intense love stories with hit music found success last year, it reminded the industry of Emraan Hashmi, who had delivered several films in this space during the 2000s and early 2010s. He was at the peak of his career in the early 2010s with films like Murder 2, Raaz 3, Jannat 2, and Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, before his fortunes declined through the latter half of the decade. The revival of the genre eventually led to Awarapan 2 being made, and that decision has paid off handsomely. There is probably no precedent for a sequel to a DISASTER emerging as a HIT, perhaps even a blockbuster. Last year saw former FLOPs like Sanam Teri Kasam and Laila Majnu become HITs through their re-releases, and now a sequel is doing it on a much bigger scale.
