Awarapan 2 Makes a Record-Breaking Box Office Debut

Emraan Hashmi’s much-awaited return as Shivam Pandit appears to have given fans exactly what they had been waiting for. The sequel to the 2007 cult favourite Awarapan, Awarapan 2, has made an impressive start at the box office and is already setting new benchmarks for the actor and Vishesh Films.

The film has reportedly crossed the lifetime collection of the original Awarapan within its opening day, marking a significant milestone for the franchise. The strong response has also placed Awarapan 2 on course to become one of the biggest Bollywood openers of 2026.

According to figures reported by Sacnilk, Awarapan 2 earned more than ₹21 crore net in India on its first day, while its worldwide collection crossed ₹27 crore.

The impressive opening comes nearly two decades after Emraan Hashmi first appeared as Shivam Pandit. The character developed a strong following over the years, and the sequel’s release has generated considerable excitement among fans who had been waiting to see Hashmi return to the role.

The film’s opening performance is particularly significant for Emraan Hashmi, whose association with intense romantic dramas and music-driven films has remained a defining part of his career. With Awarapan 2 showing strong early momentum, the film could potentially emerge as one of the major commercial successes of the year.

If the momentum continues through the opening weekend, Awarapan 2 could set even bigger records for Emraan Hashmi and Vishesh Films, while giving the franchise a new chapter at the box office.
