The upcoming film Awarapan 2 has already outperformed its competitor Batwara 1947 in advance ticket sales, collecting ₹3.51 crore before release.
Awarapan 2, the much‑anticipated sequel to the 2021 hit, has recorded advance ticket sales of ₹3.51 crore, eclipsing the performance of Batwara 1947. The figure was announced by the film’s distribution house during a press briefing on Thursday.
The strong pre‑release sales indicate high audience anticipation, especially in the Hindi‑speaking market where the original film had a modest opening. Industry analysts suggest that the sequel’s marketing push and star power have contributed to the surge.
Batwara 1947, which opened earlier this year, managed advance sales of approximately ₹2.8 crore, making it the second highest in the same category. However, Awarapan 2’s lead is expected to translate into a robust opening weekend at the box office.
