Awarapan may now be remembered as one of Emraan Hashmi’s cult films, but its theatrical journey in 2007 was far from successfulThe film earned only around Rs 7.7 crore net during its entire runHowever, years of television, home viewing and streaming helped the film find a much bigger audience and turn into a favourite among fansNow, that renewed love is creating huge expectations for Awarapan 2, which is showing strong advance bookings even before its release.
The sequel has already crossed the lifetime collection of the original film through advance bookingsBookings opened only 48 hours before the release, but the response has been strongBy 3 PM on Thursday, around 18 hours before the film reached theatres, Awarapan 2 had sold more than 1.3 lakh tickets for its opening dayAccording to Sacnilk, the film had already recorded around Rs 4 crore in advance sales for Day 1Trade estimates suggest that its total advance bookings for the opening weekend and beyond have crossed Rs 9 crore gross, or around Rs 7-8 crore net.

Awarapan 2 vs Batwara 1947
The film will face competition from Sunny Deol’s Batwara 1947, which is also releasing on August 14However, early trade expectations suggest that Awarapan 2 has the advantage going into the clash.
If the current momentum continues, the film could cross the Rs 100 crore worldwide mark during its opening weekend itselfThat would be a remarkable turnaround for a franchise whose first film earned only Rs 7.7 crore during its entire theatrical run.
