The box-office momentum behind Vishesh Bhatt's Awarapan 2 shows no signs of slowing down. The Emraan Hashmi starrer has completed a phenomenal first week and is now enjoying a strong second week, emerging as the fourth highest first-week grosser of 2026 in India. On Day 8 (second Friday), the film added approximately ₹6.21 crore to its net India total, taking its cumulative domestic net collection to around ₹123.87 crore.

According to trade reports, Awarapan 2 has collected about ₹117.66 crore in its first seven days in India (net). With the Day 8 addition, the film's India net box-office collection has moved closer to the ₹125 crore mark. Its worldwide gross is now in the vicinity of ₹169–170 crore, reflecting steady overseas performance alongside robust domestic holds.

Day-wise India net performance (as per trade updates)
Reports circulating on social media and in trade circles have shared the following day-wise net India figures for Awarapan 2:

Day 1 (14 Aug): ₹23.40 cr

Day 2 (15 Aug): ₹34.09 cr

Day 3 (16 Aug): ₹26.82 cr

Day 4 (17 Aug): ₹10.06 cr

Day 5 (18 Aug): ₹10.26 cr

Day 6 (19 Aug): ₹7.00 cr

Day 7 (20 Aug): ₹6.03 cr

Day 8 (21 Aug): ₹6.21 cr

This brings the reported grand total to approximately ₹123.87 crore net in India by the end of Day 8.

It should be noted that different trackers sometimes quote slightly different numbers. For instance, some industry sources have estimated Day 8 net collections in the range of ₹5.5–6 crore, with India net totals around ₹119–120 crore and worldwide gross near ₹169.17 crore. The variation is typical in early trade estimates, but all reports agree on one point: the film is holding well into its second week.

Why the film is holding
The sustained collections are being attributed to strong audience connect with the character of Shivam Pandit, played by Emraan Hashmi. The sequel has benefited from:

Positive word-of-mouth for Emraan's performance and the film's emotional core.

A loyal fan base for the original Awarapan and the Shivam Pandit avatar.

Consistent occupancy across multiplexes and single screens, especially in Hindi-speaking belts.

Limited major Hindi competition in the current frame, allowing the film to dominate showtimes.

Trade analysts have described the film's trajectory as a "dream run" for a mid-to-large budget Bollywood action thriller in 2026, especially given the crowded release calendar this year.

2026 ranking and commercial verdict
With a first-week net India collection of around ₹117.66 crore, Awarapan 2 has reportedly registered the third highest opening week for a Hindi film in 2026, behind only Dhurandhar 2 and Border 2, and ahead of titles like Dhamaal 4. When measured on a worldwide first-week gross basis, it is being cited as the fourth highest of the year so far, further cementing its position among 2026's biggest theatrical successes.

Given its reported production and marketing costs, the film is already in a profitable zone. Some trade outlets have suggested that Awarapan 2 is on track to be declared a "super-hit" or even higher, depending on its performance over the second weekend and the following weekdays.

Cast, crew and production
Directed by Nitin Kakkar and written by Bilal Siddiqui and Vishesh Bhatt, Awarapan 2 stars Emraan Hashmi, Disha Patani, Shabana Azmi, Puran Gabbi, Suvinder Vicky and Aniruddh Rawal. The film is presented by Mukesh Bhatt and Vishesh Films, produced by Vishesh Bhatt, and co-produced by Deepesh Shah and Sunaman Sood. All-India theatrical distribution is being handled by Pen Marudhar, and the film is currently running in cinemas worldwide.

What's next?
All eyes are now on the second weekend. If Awarapan 2 can maintain its current hold through Saturday and Sunday, it could push its India net total well beyond ₹135 crore in the first ten days. A strong second weekend would also strengthen its case for an extended theatrical run and potentially set up discussions around a third installment in the franchise.

For now, the numbers confirm a clear trend: audiences are still deeply invested in Shivam Pandit's world, and Awarapan 2 is reaping the rewards of that connection at the box office.
