It also did well for itself outside of India. After earning close to ₹3.50 crore abroad on its second day of release, the film’s total foreign earnings are now close to ₹6 crore.
Taking both the domestic and foreign earnings into account, Awarapan 2 has earned close to ₹72.90 crore globally in just two days.
This brings the movie very close to the ₹75 crore global mark, despite the first Sunday yet to come.
Strong Audience Response on Independence Day
Independence Day played a major role in bringing about this sudden surge the following day. There was increased turnout for the movie on the part of the audiences, especially in the evening, nighttime and late-night screenings.
The total occupancy on Day 2 was around 60%, and the evening screenings fared quite well. It is not only the big cities that showed a positive response; even Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities were showing signs of promising turnout.
Awarapan 2 vs Batwara 1947
However, both Emraan Hashmi and Sunny Deol films opened together on the Independence Day weekend, thus adding an interesting competition at the Box Office.
Though Batwara 1947 also showed an increase in terms of collections on Saturday, Awarapan 2 maintained a significant lead over the film. It is estimated that the Sunny Deol starrer collected a net amount of approximately ₹13.50 crore on Day 2, raising its 2-day India net collections to roughly ₹19.25 crore.
This proves that Awarapan 2 has turned out to be one of the highlights of the Independence Day weekend so far.
Emraan Hashmi Gets His Biggest Opening
The success of Awarapan 2 is particularly important for Emraan Hashmi since the movie provides him with the best ever theatrical opening in the leading man’s career.
The comeback of Shivam Pandit in films after nearly two decades aroused the curiosity of many fans of the first movie. This combination of nostalgia and the action, love and emotion in the sequel seems to result in good box-office performance.
Unlike the first installment which did not do well theatrically upon release in 2007, Awarapan developed its cult following because of the songs, emotional story and the performances of Emraan Hashmi in the film.
What Is Working for Awarapan 2?
Several factors appear to be helping the sequel at the box office:
- Emraan Hashmi returning as Shivam Pandit
- Strong nostalgia for the original film
- Popular music associated with the franchise
- Independence Day holiday advantage
- Strong response in smaller cities
- Curiosity around the continuation of Shivam’s story
- Competition from other releases not significantly affecting its initial momentum
The film is also benefiting from the renewed interest in Emraan Hashmi’s action-oriented roles.
