Emraan Hashmi's 'Awarapan 2' crosses Rs 100 crore mark in five days

The sequel 'Awarapan 2' has amassed over Rs 100 crore net in India within five days, giving Emraan Hashmi his first solo lead film to reach that milestone.

Emraan Hashmi's 'Awarapan 2' debuted on August 14 and has maintained strong box-office momentum through its first five days. The opening day brought in Rs 22 crore, followed by a 55% jump to Rs 33.75 crore on Saturday, aided by the Independence Day holiday and an increase in screenings. Sunday contributed Rs 26 crore, and the post-weekend dip was modest, with Monday and Tuesday each earning about Rs 9 crore.

The film's net collection in India now stands at Rs 100.75 crore, while gross figures reach Rs 120 crore domestically and Rs 144.13 crore worldwide. Produced on a Rs 45 crore budget, the movie has already secured a net profit of roughly Rs 60 crore, translating to a 122% return on investment. This marks Hashmi's first solo lead film to achieve a Rs 100 crore box-office tally, a milestone previously reached only through his supporting roles.

Why it matters

It shows a major box-office success for a solo-lead Bollywood star, indicating strong audience demand.
