Directed by Nitin Kakkar, the romantic action drama pulled in **Rs. 97.5 crore in India** (Rs. 81.5 crore nett) and added another **Rs. 16.5 crore (USD 1.75 million)** from overseas markets. Saturday was its biggest day, boosted by the Independence Day holiday.

## Weekend Collections

| Region | Box Office |
| --- | --- |
| India | Rs. 97.5 cr (Rs. 81.5 cr nett) |
| Overseas | Rs. 16.5 cr (~USD 1.75M) |
| **Worldwide Total** | **Rs. 114 crore** |

## Why This Weekend Matters

This isn’t just a good number — it’s the **biggest opening weekend of Emraan Hashmi’s solo-starrer career**, arriving after a long stretch of underwhelming box office results for the actor. With multiple holidays lined up over the next two weeks, the film is well-positioned to keep growing, though it will face competition from *Toxic* during that window.

## What’s Next

If *Awarapan 2* holds steady through the weekdays, trade watchers say it has genuine potential to reach a **Blockbuster verdict**. Hashmi’s next release, *GunMaaster G9*, is slated for November 27, 2026 — and this win adds real momentum heading into it. The film’s success also reflects the resilience of Bollywood’s revenge-thriller genre within the broader [Cinema of India](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_of_India).
