Here's the latest box office buzz making the rounds:
Awarapan 2 worldwide ticket-window earnings day 6: The Emraan Hashmi renaissance continues, even if it has slowed down a bit. Awarapan 2, the star’s latest rollout, crossed ₹ 100 crore rupees in India on Tuesday, and after that, it saw its first slowdown in earnings. However, the momentum was enough to send the movie’s global earnings past ₹ 150 crore rupees.
Adding to this, Awarapan 2 worldwide ticket-window earnings day 6: Emraan Hashmi in a still from the movie. Awarapan 2 ticket-window update Awarapan 2 started with a record-breaking opening weekend, earning over ₹ 81 crore rupees net ( ₹ 97 crore rupees gross). On weekdays, Awarapan 2 first held its ground at the ticket-window before eventually seeing a dip in earnings on Wednesday. The movie collected ₹ 6.75 crore rupees net on Wednesday, a near-30 % drop from the ₹ 9.75 crore rupees it collected on Tuesday. After six days, the movie’s domestic total now stands at ₹ 107.50 crore rupees net ( ₹ 128 crore rupees gross). Awarapan 2 is the first Emraan Hashmi-led movie to enter the ₹ 100-crore rupees club, and thereby, his highest-grossing movie ever.
Meanwhile, Overseas, too, the movie picked up after a dull start. Awarapan 2 had a couple of good days internationally, bringing in $1.5 million over the weekend. After six days, its international earnings stand at $2.65 million. This takes the movie’s worldwide gross to ₹ 153 crore rupees. At one point, it looked as if the movie would touch the ₹ 170 crore rupees mark in its first week, but the Wednesday slowdown has complicated matters. The movie will still end week 1 north of the ₹ 160-crore rupees mark, making it a financial success that early.

As per the latest buzz, Awarapan 2 is easily Emraan Hashmi’s biggest hit. The star has appeared in big films before, but not as a solo lead. This movie is led by him and is breaking the bank. Prior to this, his biggest hit had been Raaz 3, which collected ₹ 100 crore rupees gross worldwide or Baadshaho, where he was one of the three leads alongside Ajay Devgn and Vidyut Jamwal. The 2017 movie collected ₹ 130 crore rupees worldwide. Awarapan 2 has surpassed the lifetime collections of both these films. The highest-grossing movie featuring Emraan Hashmi remains Tiger 3. The Salman Khan -led spy thriller collected ₹ 470 crore rupees worldwide, a mark that Awarapan 2 will surely not breach.
In further updates, Awarapan 2 is already the 6th-highest-grossing Hindi movie of the year and may break into the top 4 by the end of its run, beating Welcome to the Jungle ( ₹ 186 crore rupees) and Dhamaal 4 ( ₹ 224 crore rupees and counting).
On top of that, Directed by Nitin Kakkar and produced by Vishesh Bhatt, Awarapan 2 brings back Emraan Hashmi in his iconic role of Shivam Pandit. The movie also stars Shabana Azmi, Disha Patani, and Suvinder Vicky. The movie received mixed to positive reviews, but praise for Emraan Hashmi’s performance and the overall tone.
