Who would have thought that almost two decades later, when Shivam Pandit returned to the big screen and the background score Dil Badal Bane played, audiences in theatres would go crazy? Well, that is exactly what happened when Awarapan 2 was released in theatres on August 14, 2026. One of the most highly anticipated sequels, bringing back Emraan Hashmi as Shivam Pandit, is enjoying a strong run at the box office. Despite facing a major clash with Sunny Deol’s Batwara 1947, the Emraan Hashmi-starrer has raced ahead of the patriotic film. Scroll down to check the detailed box office collection of Awarapan 2.
How much-did Awarapan 2 earned on box office on day 3?
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Awarapan 2 continued a strong run at the box office. The industry tracker indicated that Emraan Hashmi’s movie minted Rs 26.25 crore net in India on its third day. Awarapan 2 ran across 9401 shows.

Awarapan 2 opened with a Rs 22 crore net collection on Friday before witnessing a substantial 53.4% jump on Saturday. The surge was largely driven by the Independence Day holiday, which resulted in a significant increase in theatre footfalls. On Saturday, the film registered a peak occupancy of around 55% across 10,496 shows.

Awarapan 2 vs Batwara 1947 box office collection: Who is leading the race?
It seems that Emraan Hashmi starrer has managed to outperform Sunny Deol’s patriotic movie. Despite Sunny Deol-starrer being released on the occasion of Independence Day, the film failed to draw audience.
On day 3, Batwara 1947 minted Rs 7.25 crore. The film ran across 7239 shows. With the huge difference in the earnings of both the movies, Awarapan 2 is definitely leading the way.
