Emraan Hashmi's return to one of his most iconic roles in Awarapan 2 has once again struck a chord with his core audience. Director Nitin Kakkar has successfully crafted a sequel that builds on the legacy of the original while holding its own ground at the box office. The film's performance throughout its second weekend has been remarkably steady, officially pushing the India net collections past the ₹136.25 Cr milestone by Day 10. This strong showing highlights the enduring appeal of the franchise and solidifies Emraan's status as a dependable draw in the 2026 box office cycle.
The second Friday (Day 8) started with a net collection of 5.75 Cr. While this was a minor 4.2 percent drop from the previous day, the film saw a massive resurgence on Saturday. Day 9 witnessed a 43.5 percent growth, bringing in 8.25 Cr. The momentum continued into Sunday (Day 10), where the film earned 8.75 Cr, marking a further 6.1 percent growth. This cumulative second weekend net of 22.75 Cr is a strong indicator of the positive word of mouth that has kept the theaters buzzing even in its second week of release.
Awarapan 2 - India Net Collection (2nd Weekend)
| Day | India Net | Shows | Occupancy |
|---|
| Day 8 (2nd Friday) | ₹ 5.75 Cr | 9,858 | 15.19% |
| Day 9 (2nd Saturday) | ₹ 8.25 Cr | 10,008 | 24.08% |
| Day 10 (2nd Sunday) | ₹ 8.75 Cr | 13,632 | 27.06% |
| Total (2nd Weekend) | ₹ 22.75 Cr | 33,498 | 22.11% (Avg) |
The surge in show counts during the weekend is particularly noteworthy. On Friday, the film ran across 9,858 shows, which slightly increased to 10,008 on Saturday. However, looking at the heavy demand on Sunday, exhibitors significantly pushed the show count to a massive 13,632 shows. This jump of over 3,600 shows on a single day explains the steady growth in collections. Correspondingly, the overall occupancy moved from a modest 15.19 percent on Friday to a weekend peak of 27.06 percent on Sunday. The role of national multiplex chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis—cannot be overstated when looking at the film's stability. Across the second weekend, these chains recorded a combined gross of 4.85 Cr, starting with 1.20 Cr on Friday and peaking at 1.85 Cr on Saturday. This total accounts for roughly 21.3 percent of the film's overall second weekend net in India, proving that the urban audience remains a solid pillar of support for this sequel as it continues its successful run.
Regionally, the film has seen its best holding in the National Capital Region (NCR) and Mumbai. In NCR, the occupancy climbed from 12.5 percent on Friday to a solid 24.3 percent on Sunday across 1,584 shows. Mumbai followed a similar path, moving from 12.5 percent to 20.3 percent over the weekend. Interestingly, Southern hubs like Bengaluru and Hyderabad have also embraced this Hindi thriller, with Bengaluru hitting a peak occupancy of 34.5 percent on Sunday and Hyderabad touching 22.3 percent. These numbers reflect the film's widespread appeal beyond the traditional northern territories.
On digital platforms like BookMyShow, Awarapan 2 has secured its place among the top performers of the 2025-26 season. By the end of its second weekend, the film has sold a total of 2.45 million tickets, ranking it at number 7 on the elite list. It currently sits just below War 2 and Border 2. The daily ticket sales on the platform remained consistent throughout the weekend, with 87.73K sold on Friday, 127.31K on Saturday, and 110.97K on Sunday. The cumulative worldwide gross has now reached 192.80 Cr, with the overseas market contributing a steady 30.30 Cr to the total.
The film now enters a crucial period as it marches toward the 200 Crore worldwide gross milestone. It has two clear days on Monday and Tuesday to maximize its earnings before the box office landscape shifts significantly. Yash's highly anticipated Toxic is set to release on Wednesday, August 26, and the buzz surrounding that film is expected to dominate the market. Awarapan 2 will likely face a reduction in screens once Toxic arrives, making these early weekday collections vital for its final tally. Given the current trend, the film is well-positioned to cross the 200 Crore mark globally by the middle of the week.
