The eighth‑day earnings of 'Awarapan 2' have slowed, but the film is poised to cross the ₹170 crore box‑office milestone.
Mumbai – Emraan Hashmi's much‑anticipated sequel, 'Awarapan 2', recorded a slowdown in its collections on the eighth day after a strong opening run. Despite the dip, the film's cumulative gross is edging close to the ₹170 crore threshold, a figure that signals robust commercial performance for a Hindi‑language release.
Industry trackers note that the movie's earnings have tapered compared to the first week, a typical pattern as new releases enter the market. Nevertheless, the near‑milestone underscores the star's drawing power and the film's appeal across urban and semi‑urban audiences.
Box‑office analysts expect the film to either breach the ₹170 crore mark in the coming days or settle just short of it, depending on weekend footfall and regional ticket sales. The performance will be closely watched as a barometer for mid‑budget Bollywood projects in the current fiscal year.
