The sequel 'Awarapan 2' recorded a higher number of shows on its seventh day than on its opening, taking its domestic collection to ₹161 crore.
Emraan Hashmi’s much‑anticipated sequel, "Awarapan 2," saw a surge in the number of daily screenings on its seventh day, surpassing the count recorded on its opening day. The increase in showtimes reflects growing audience interest as the film moves beyond its initial release window.
The cumulative domestic gross of the movie has now crossed the ₹161 crore mark, according to trade figures reported by The Indian Express. This milestone comes after a steady rise in ticket sales, with the seventh‑day performance indicating a stronger pull than the debut day.
Industry analysts note that the upward trajectory is unusual for a film that opened to moderate numbers, suggesting positive word‑of‑mouth and repeat viewership. The earnings place "Awarapan 2" among the higher‑grossing releases of the current fiscal year, reinforcing Emraan Hashmi’s continued box‑office appeal.
Producers have not disclosed the film’s final worldwide total yet, but the domestic figures alone position the sequel as a commercial success, potentially influencing upcoming release strategies for similar genre projects.
