The box office run for Awarapan 2 has exceeded expectations, with the Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani starrer proving its mettle by holding steady on its first Monday. After a record-shattering opening weekend that saw the film rake in Rs 81 crore in India—marking the highest solo debut of Hashmi’s career—the thriller has solidified its status as a commercial blockbuster, defying mixed critical reception.
Strong momentum for Awarapan 2
While the film’s narrative—particularly its ambiguous ending regarding the fate of the protagonist, Shivam—has sparked widespread debate among audiences and fueled speculation about a potential third installment, the numbers tell a clear story of success. The intense action drama continues to draw crowds, even as other major releases navigate a competitive theatrical landscape. The performance of this sequel highlights the enduring pull of Hashmi’s screen presence in high-stakes genre pieces.
Elsewhere at the box office, the industry is seeing a diverse spread of results. Akshay Kumar’s Welcome to the Jungle is maintaining momentum on its first Monday, positioning itself as a solid success. Meanwhile, the Marathi hit Deool Band 2 has cleared its Monday test with ease, reaching a five-day total of Rs 22.50 crore. On the comedy front, Gippy Grewal’s Carry On Jatta 4 is officially a clean hit, crossing the Rs 12 crore mark within just five days of release.
Other films are having a harder time sustaining their initial buzz. Pati Patni Aur Woh Do reached the Rs 20 crore milestone in four days, though Tu Yaa Main saw a sharp 35 percent drop, netting only Rs 40 lakh on Monday. Meanwhile, the re-release of Tere Naam added a modest Rs 15 lakh to its total, and the big-screen adaptation Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hain has struggled, netting just Rs 80 lakh over its first four days.
