Awarapan 2 Opens to ₹21 Crore on Day One, Outshining Emraan Hashmi’s First Film

Awarapan 2, the Hindi thriller starring Emraan Hashmi, opened in theatres across India on Friday and collected ₹21 crore in its first 24 hours, according to box‑office reports. The figure represents the highest opening‑day haul for the actor, who has previously earned less on debut releases. The new film’s earnings eclipsed the total lifetime collection of the original Awarapan, which had accumulated a modest sum over its theatrical run. Industry analysts say the strong start indicates a robust audience interest in the sequel’s storyline and marketing push. If the trend continues, Awarapan 2 could become one of the top‑grossing releases of the year.
