Awarapan 2 box office collection day 1: Emraan Hashmi ’s Shivam Pandit has finally got his due at the box office, it seems. Awarapan 2, the sequel, got off to a record-breaking start at the ticket window, poised to shatter records for Emraan Hashmi and Vishesh Films. It has also already surpassed the lifetime collection of Awarapan , the first part, before the end of day 1. Awarapan 2 is tracking to have one of the biggest openings for Bollywood in 2026 and has comfortably outpaced Batwara 1947, the Sunny Deol-starrer that clashed with it at the box office on August 14.
This makes the film the highest-earning title in the fledgling franchise already. Awarapan 2 has already earned over ₹ 8 crore net by 4 pm on its release day, according to Sacnilk. The first Awarapan, released in 2007, was a box office failure and earned only ₹ 7.76 crore during its lifetime. Awarapan 2 took all of 8 hours to cross that mark.
Awarapan 2 has been selling over 20k tickets per hour on BookMyShow all through Friday. This means that it will cross not just ₹ 10 crore but, in all likelihood, ₹ 20 crore on its first day itself. Raaz 2 opened at ₹ 10.35 crore in 2012. The record for Emraan was then broken by Baadshaho, which earned ₹ 12.60 crore on its release day in 2017. Directed by Nitin Kakkar and produced by Vishesh Bhatt, Awarapan 2 brings back Emraan Hashmi in his iconic role of Shivam Pandit.
This is a remarkable pace for any film without a superstar. This makes it the biggest opening of Emraan Hashmi’s career. So far, only two of Emraan’s films have had double-digit openings. Awarapan will easily leave both titles in the dust with its pace. The film also stars Shabana Azmi, Disha Patani , and Suvinder Vicky. The film received mixed to positive reviews, but particular praise for Emraan Hashmi’s performance and the tone.
