That nostalgia has clearly worked in favour of the sequel, which has received an overwhelming response from audiences since its rollout. Awarapan 2 has also emerged as the clear winner in its clash with Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947 . However, the sequel has slowed down on its first Monday but globally, it is receiving good response.

With its India and overseas earnings combined, Awarapan 2 has now collected ₹ 130.82 crore rupees worldwide in just four days.

Notably, Directed by Nitin Kakkar and produced by Vishesh Bhatt, Awarapan 2 brings Emraan Hashmi back as Shiv Pandit nearly 19 years after the original movie. Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi feature in important roles, while the cast also includes Puran Gabbi, Anirudh Rawal, Surendar Vicky, Vijayant Kohli and Atul Kumar.

As per the latest buzz, Following the rollout and the success of the movie, Emraan's wife on Monday lauded her husband. In a note on Instagram, Parveen Hashmi wrote, “It has taken Emi 23 years to get here today... 23 years of patience, dedication, faith, surrender, countless blessings and prayers!! There were Fridays that brought incredible highs, and there were Fridays that brought heartbreak and disappointment, but he never allowed any of it to stop him from moving forward. He kept showing up, kept working and kept believing that all the hard work would pay off someday!! Inshallah.”

In further updates, She went on to add, “I have watched him put his heart and soul into all his projects. And now even with these incredible numbers and all this love pouring in people around me keep asking, “How is he still so grounded and so calm?” This is what makes him different!! And maybe that’s why this line, “Akha Bollywood ek taraf aur Emraan Hashmi ek taraf (reference to The Ba***ds of Bollywood)”, resonates so deeply with the industry and his followers.”
