Awarapan 2 has turned into a major career milestone for Emraan Hashmi. The Disha Patani starrer has crossed the Rs 100 crore mark in India within just five days, emerging as the actor’s biggest-grossing solo film. The achievement is particularly significant considering the original Awarapan had developed a cult following despite not making much of an impact theatrically.

The film collected around Rs 9.75 crore nett on Tuesday, taking its five-day total to approximately Rs 100.75 crore in India. It had already shown strong momentum after opening at Rs 22 crore and benefiting from the Independence Day holiday, followed by a steady hold through the weekdays. The film has also crossed Rs 144 crore gross worldwide, according to the latest reported figures.

What makes the success more interesting is the turnaround for the franchise itself. The 2007 Awarapan was not a theatrical success but gradually became one of Emraan Hashmi’s most remembered films. Nearly two decades later, the sequel has managed to convert that nostalgia and familiarity into a genuine theatrical success, with the actor once again playing Shivam Pandit.

With Awarapan 2 already becoming Emraan Hashmi’s first Rs 100 crore solo lead film, the focus now shifts to how far the sequel can go. The film has maintained strong momentum beyond its opening weekend, and the current run could push it well beyond the Rs 100 crore milestone in India before the first week is completed.
