The Emraan Hashmi starrer 'Awarapan 2' is close to crossing the Rs 145 crore milestone after 13 days in theatres, while facing stiff competition from another new release.
The Bollywood drama 'Awarapan 2', headlined by Emraan Hashmi, has completed its thirteenth day in Indian cinemas with box‑office receipts edging toward the Rs 145 crore threshold. The film opened to strong occupancy across multiplexes and single‑screen venues, sustaining its earnings beyond the opening weekend.
Industry trackers indicate that the cumulative gross is now within a narrow margin of the coveted Rs 145 crore mark, a figure that places the movie among the higher‑earning releases of the year. Analysts attribute the steady inflow to the film's star power, promotional push, and positive word‑of‑mouth among urban audiences.
However, the momentum arrives as another high‑profile film launched in the same week, creating a direct box‑office clash. Early reports suggest that the competing title is drawing a share of the weekend audience, prompting trade observers to monitor whether 'Awarapan 2' can maintain its trajectory and breach the Rs 145 crore barrier.
Film distributors remain cautiously optimistic, noting that the weekend ahead could prove decisive. Should the film sustain its current pace, it would join an elite list of domestic productions crossing the mid‑three‑digit crore range this calendar year.
