MUMBAI, India | August 22, 2026
Awarapan 2 box office momentum remains firmly intact as Emraan Hashmi’s romantic action drama enters its second weekend with a commanding lead over Sunny Deol’s Batwara 1947.
On its second Friday, Awarapan 2 collected an estimated ₹5.50 crore net in India on Day 8, taking its domestic total to approximately ₹119 crore net.
The film’s India gross has reached about ₹141.87 crore, while overseas earnings have climbed to approximately ₹27.30 crore.
That pushes the film’s worldwide gross to ₹169.17 crore, leaving it within touching distance of the ₹170 crore milestone.
In sharp contrast, Batwara 1947 collected only around ₹75 lakh net on Day 8, taking its India net total to approximately ₹34.35 crore.
Its worldwide gross has reached around ₹49.02 crore, leaving the Sunny Deol-starrer still short of the ₹50 crore global benchmark.
Awarapan 2 Holds Strong on Second Friday
The most encouraging sign for Awarapan 2 is its ability to remain above the ₹5 crore mark even after completing its first week.
The film had ended its opening week with approximately ₹113.50 crore net in India.
It then added another ₹5.50 crore on its second Friday, representing only a moderate decline from Thursday’s collection.
For a film entering its second week, that hold is significant.
The performance suggests that audience interest has not disappeared after the strong opening weekend and that the movie continues to attract viewers in major markets.
Night shows performed particularly well on Friday, helping the film maintain momentum heading into Saturday and Sunday.
Awarapan 2 Day-Wise India Box Office Collection
The film opened strongly and maintained an impressive run through its first week.
Day 1: ₹22 crore
Day 2: ₹33.75 crore
Day 3: ₹26 crore
Day 4: ₹9.25 crore
Day 5: ₹9.75 crore
Day 6: ₹6.75 crore
Day 7: ₹6 crore
Day 8: ₹5.50 crore
Total India Net: Approximately ₹119 crore
The film’s first weekend provided the foundation for its box office success, but its weekday hold has been equally important in pushing the total toward ₹120 crore.
Worldwide Collection Nears ₹170 Crore
Awarapan 2 has also benefited from steady business outside India.
Its overseas gross has reached approximately ₹27.30 crore, while India gross stands at around ₹141.87 crore.
Together, these figures take the movie’s worldwide collection to approximately:
₹169.17 Crore Worldwide
Crossing ₹170 crore now appears highly likely during the second weekend if the film maintains its current pace.
A strong Saturday jump could also put larger milestones within reach before Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups arrives in theaters on August 26.
Batwara 1947 Drops to ₹75 Lakh on Day 8
The box office situation is very different for Batwara 1947.
The Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta period drama earned just ₹75 lakh net on its second Friday, marking another major slowdown.
The film completed its first week with approximately ₹33.60 crore net in India.
After Day 8, its domestic net total stands at around ₹34.35 crore.
That means the film has still not crossed ₹35 crore in India despite completing eight days in theaters.
Its Day 8 performance also shows that the second weekend will be critical if the film hopes to recover any meaningful momentum.

Day 1: ₹5.75 crore
Day 2: ₹13.50 crore
Day 3: ₹7.25 crore
Day 4: ₹2 crore
Day 5: ₹2.25 crore
Day 6: ₹1.40 crore
Day 7: ₹1.35 crore
Day 8: ₹0.75 crore
Total India Net: Approximately ₹34.35 crore
The numbers show a sharp difference between the two competing releases.
While Awarapan 2 earned ₹5.50 crore on its second Friday, Batwara 1947 managed only ₹75 lakh on the same day.
Awarapan 2 vs Batwara 1947 After 8 Days
| Box Office Metric | Awarapan 2 | Batwara 1947 |
|---|---|---|
| Day 8 India Net | ₹5.50 crore | ₹0.75 crore |
| India Net Total | ₹119 crore | ₹34.35 crore |
| Worldwide Gross | ₹169.17 crore | ₹49.02 crore |
| Current Trend | Strong | Weak |
The worldwide gap between the two films has now expanded to more than ₹120 crore.
On the domestic front, Awarapan 2 has earned more than three times the India net collection of Batwara 1947.
Emraan Hashmi Scores Major Career Success
The commercial performance of Awarapan 2 is especially significant for Emraan Hashmi.
The original Awarapan, released in 2007, developed a strong following over the years despite its modest theatrical performance at the time.
The sequel has turned that nostalgic value into substantial box office business.
The film stars Emraan Hashmi alongside Disha Patani, Shabana Azmi, Shriya Saran, Puran Gabbi and Suvinder Vicky.
Directed by Nitin Kakkar, the sequel once again places Hashmi’s Shivam at the center of an emotionally charged crime story.
Its performance has made it one of the most successful solo theatrical releases of Hashmi’s career.
Batwara 1947 Faces Difficult Second Weekend
Batwara 1947, meanwhile, entered theaters with a strong cast and a large-scale historical setting.
Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the Partition-era drama stars Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal, Karan Deol and Abhimanyu Singh.
However, the film has struggled to sustain its opening-weekend momentum.
Its strongest collection came on Day 2, when it earned ₹13.50 crore.
Since then, daily earnings have fallen sharply.
The second Friday collection of ₹75 lakh indicates that the film now needs a substantial weekend jump to improve its overall position.
Second Weekend Could Push Awarapan 2 Past New Milestones
Saturday and Sunday will now be crucial for both films.
Awarapan 2 enters the weekend with strong momentum and could cross ₹120 crore India net very soon.
Its worldwide collection is also expected to move beyond ₹170 crore.
The bigger challenge begins next week when Toxic arrives in theaters on August 26 and is expected to take a significant number of screens and premium shows.
That gives Awarapan 2 a limited window to maximize its second-weekend business.
For Batwara 1947, the immediate target is more modest: crossing ₹35 crore India net and ₹50 crore worldwide.
Awarapan 2 Clearly Wins the Box Office Clash
After eight days, the verdict of the box office battle is becoming increasingly clear.
Awarapan 2 has emerged as the dominant release, with ₹119 crore India net and ₹169.17 crore worldwide, while Batwara 1947 remains at approximately ₹34.35 crore India net and ₹49.02 crore worldwide.
The second weekend could further widen that gap.
If Saturday and Sunday deliver the expected jump, Emraan Hashmi’s film may enter the ₹180 crore worldwide zone before facing new competition later in the week.
For now, Awarapan 2 is firmly in control of the box office race.
Box office figures are approximate and may be revised as final theatrical and overseas data are updated.
