Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi's most awaited and cult classic sequel film 'Awarapan 2' continues to maintain its strong hold at the box office. After a bumper opening and record-breaking earnings in the first week of its release, the film has shown excellent stability in the weekdays of its second week as well. On the basis of tremendous craze and positive word of mouth among the audience in theatres, the film has crossed the total net collection of ₹ 143 crore in India with its 12th day (2nd Tuesday) collection. Now the much-awaited film is just a few steps away from entering the prestigious ₹150 crore club. How was the performance at the box office on the 12th day? On the 12th day of its release i.e. second Tuesday, the film maintained excellent ticketing momentum despite the usual trend of weekdays. 12th Day Net Collection: As per the early box office trade data and trends, 'Awarapan 2' has registered a stellar collection of around ₹4.50 crore to ₹5.20 crore on its 12th day. Total Net Collection in India: After 12 days, the all-India net box office collection of the film has now increased to approximately ₹143.80 crore. Gross and Worldwide Collection: The gross collection of the film in the domestic market has crossed ₹ 170 crore, while the worldwide gross collection of the film including the collection of overseas markets has crossed the historical figure of ₹ 210 crore. 12 days box office journey: Complete maths of day-wise collection 'Awarapan 2' has stormed the box office since its opening day. The 12-day performance of the film was as follows: First Week (Week 1): In the first week, the film did a stormy business of ₹ 108.50 crore in India on the basis of its powerful songs, intense drama and Emraan Hashmi's acting. 2nd Friday (Day 8): ₹6.50 Crore 2nd Saturday (Day 9): ₹11.20 Crore 2nd Sunday (Day 10): ₹12.80 Crore (Great Weekend Jump) 2nd Monday (Day 11): ₹4.80 Crore (Strong Monday Test) 2nd Tuesday (Day 12): ₹4.90 Crore (Estimated Trade Figures) Total 12 Days Earnings: ₹143.80 Crore From 150 Crore Club Just ₹6.20 crore away, when will the new achievement be made? Box office analysts believe that considering the pace at which 'Awarapan 2' is running in theatres, the film will officially cement its place in the ₹150 crore club by the end of its second week i.e. Thursday (Day 14) or in the early shows of the third Friday. Once it crosses this figure of ₹150 crore, this film will become the highest grossing solo-lead blockbuster of Emraan Hashmi's career. Why does the craze persist in both mass circuits and multiplexes? Many technical and emotional reasons are coming to light behind this long run of the film: Emraan Hashmi's emotional and action avatar: Emraan Hashmi's intense character, serious acting and classic style in the film are getting full appreciation from both the audience and critics. Chartbuster Music and Background Score: Like the 2007 original 'Awarapan', the romantic and Sufi tracks of its sequel remain in the top trends on YouTube and music streaming apps, drawing the youth to theaters again and again. Strong Screen Hold: Even on weekdays, the occupancy of evening and night shows in single screens and multiplexes of Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan and Punjab remains between 30% to 45%. Box office outlook for the coming days: Due to the absence of any major clash at the box office at present, it is certain that 'Awarapan 2' will get enough screens and shows in the third week also. Trade pundits estimate that if the film shows a similar surge in the third weekend, its lifetime net box office collection could easily cross ₹175 crore to ₹185 crore. By crossing ₹143 crore on the 12th day, 'Awarapan 2' has proved that the formula of great content, nostalgic connection and powerful music still proves to be a goldmine at the box office.
