Emraan Hashmi is back with a bang! Yes, his latest release, Awarapan 2, has stormed the Indian box office by leaving all predictions behind. First, it surprised everyone with its advance booking numbers, and now, with the official collections for opening day out, it has given another sweet shocker. The film amassed well over 20 crore on its day 1, registering the biggest opening ever for a Bollywood romantic film. Keep reading for a detailed collection report!

How much did Awarapan 2 earn at the Indian box office on day 1?

In a clash with Sunny Deol’s Batwara 1947, the Awarapan sequel got comparatively less shows. However, it didn’t have any impact, as the film, with strong occupancy, left everyone jaw-dropped. In our prediction story, we projected it to score 17-20 crore net on the opening day, but in actuality, the numbers are much higher, which helped it make history.

Awarapan 2 clocked a rocking 23.4 crore net at the Indian box office on day 1, which is unbelievable. It equals 27.61 crore gross. Given the below-par response to promotional assets, even the 15 crore net looked dicey, but the nostalgia factor outshone all the shortcomings and drove impressive collections.

Makes history by beating Saiyaara!

With 23.4 crore, Awarapan 2 surpassed Saiyaara (22 crore) to register Bollywood’s biggest romantic opening. It’s a huge achievement, and such a response marks a solid comeback for Emraan Hashmi at the box office.
