A sequel to a film that flopped in 2007 quietly becoming one of the year’s steadiest earners? That’s exactly the story *Awarapan 2* is writing at the Indian box office — even as competition from Yash’s *Toxic* starts eating into its screen count.

Awarapan 2 collected ₹3.25 crore on its second Tuesday, pushing its total nett collection to ₹139.50 crore in India.

The Tuesday spike was modest, driven mainly by discounted ticket prices rather than genuine audience surge — trade watchers had hoped for a stronger jump. With its second week cume landing at ₹28 crore over five days, the film’s momentum is clearly cooling, and industry estimates now project a total run finish around ₹150 crore nett.

## Awarapan 2: **Day-wise collection breakdown**

| Day | Nett Collection |
| --- | --- |
| Week 1 | ₹111.50 crore |
| 2nd Friday | ₹5.25 crore |
| 2nd Saturday | ₹8.00 crore |
| 2nd Sunday | ₹8.50 crore |
| 2nd Monday | ₹3.00 crore |
| 2nd Tuesday | ₹3.25 crore (est.) |
| **Total** | **₹139.50 crore** |

The real story behind the numbers is the genre revival Emraan Hashmi has quietly engineered. *Awarapan 2* is a sequel to the original 2007 film, which was a commercial disaster on release but slowly built a cult following over the years — making its sequel’s success practically unprecedented. There’s arguably no real template for a sequel to a flop becoming a certified hit.

This fits into a broader pattern: intense, music-driven love stories found renewed audience appetite last year, reviving memories of Hashmi’s peak years with films like *Murder 2*, *Raaz 3*, *Jannat 2*, and *Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai* before his career cooled through the later 2010s. *Awarapan 2* essentially bet on that nostalgia — and the bet paid off.

Now, the real test begins. With Yash’s *Toxic* grabbing the lion’s share of screens starting today, *Awarapan 2* is expected to see a sharp drop in daily collections. Whether it can still limp toward the ₹150 crore mark will depend on how much room remains in cinemas over the coming days.
