Awarapan 2 has given the box office a much-needed shot of energy, and its second Friday number has only strengthened that narrative. After a robust first week of Rs 117.66 crore, the Emraan Hashmi-led film added Rs 6.21 crore on its second Friday, taking its running total to Rs 123.87 crore and underlining a healthy hold at the ticket window.
What makes the trend especially significant is where the film is drawing its strength from. The film is sustaining strongly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 centres, along with non-national chains, a pattern that has become one of the most encouraging talking points for the Hindi film business this year.
Strong Hold Beyond Metros Keeps Momentum Intact
The super-success of the film has brought positivity and enthusiasm among exhibitors in Tier 2 and Tier 3 centres, as well as non-national chains.” That sentiment captures why Awarapan 2’s run is being watched so closely by the trade.
Its day-wise first-week numbers stand at Rs 23.40 crore on Friday, Rs 34.09 crore on Saturday, Rs 26.82 crore on Sunday, Rs 10.06 crore on Monday, Rs 10.26 crore on Tuesday, Rs 7 crore on Wednesday, and Rs 6.03 crore on Thursday, closing week one at Rs 117.66 crore. The second Friday then delivered Rs 6.21 crore, a hold that signals audience interest has not dropped sharply after the opening rush.
This is the sixth Hindi film, after Border 2, Dhurandhar 2, Bhooth Bangla, WTTJ and Dhamaal 4, to score strongly beyond the metros, an extremely heartening sign for the industry. For exhibitors outside the biggest urban markets, that trend matters just as much as the topline total.

Second Weekend Window Opens Up For Awarapan 2
With no major release arriving immediately to disrupt its run, Awarapan 2 has entered the weekend with room to consolidate further at the box office. As the trade commentary put it, “Going forward, the absence of a major release, film should ensure a solid Weekend 2 for #Awarapan2, although its run will be impacted midweek when #Toxic arrives [Wednesday; 26 Aug].”
Directed by Nitin Kakkar, Awarapan 2 stars Emraan Hashmi, Salil Acharya and Shabana Azmi, with Disha Patani and Suvinder Vicky also listed in the cast. The film is produced by Vishesh Films and was released in India on August 14, 2026. The film is positioned as an action drama with romance at its core, following Shivam’s return to a violent world where redemption, love and sacrifice drive the story forward.
That makes the second weekend especially crucial. If the current momentum continues, Awarapan 2 is set to deepen its theatrical run before fresh competition arrives in the middle of the week.
