Awarapan 2 on fire: Emraan's sequel sprinting towards ₹200 crore

Emraan Hashmi’s sequel game is strong. Awarapan 2 is clocking serious numbers at the box office, with industry chatter suggesting it could touch ₹200 crore, easily making it one of 2026’s biggest releases. For a thriller, that’s the kind of haul that gets people talking, especially if it becomes Emraan’s highest-grossing film yet.

The usual second-week Monday dip is showing its face though, with reports indicating a 69% drop. That’s standard territory for this stage of a theatrical run. But here’s the thing: ₹140 crore was already locked in by day 10, which means the film’s foundation is solid. Audiences are coming for Awarapan, and Emraan’s brand clearly still pulls.

Sequels are risky business in Hindi cinema, so when they pay off like this, it matters. Our sources and cameras are watching every move.
