"Awarapan 2" Crosses ₹171 Crore Gross; "Toxic" Creates Box Office Pressure

· · 2 min read

Emraan Hashmi's 'Awarapan 2' has accumulated an India gross collection of ₹171.23 crore by its 14th day. The film now faces significant competition from the new release 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups', which opened with ₹101.10 crore net.

Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani's romantic drama, 'Awarapan 2', has achieved an India gross collection of ₹171.23 crore by its fourteenth day in theaters, August 27, 2026. Despite reaching this milestone, the film's theatrical run is encountering substantial pressure from new releases, most notably Yash's action-drama 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups'.

Box Office Performance and Slowdown

'Awarapan 2' recorded a strong opening week, securing ₹113.50 crore net within its first seven days. However, the film experienced a considerable slowdown during its second week, adding an additional ₹30.17 crore from Day 8 to Day 14. The second weekend offered some respite, with collections of ₹5.75 crore on Day 8, ₹8.25 crore on Saturday (Day 9), and ₹8.75 crore on Sunday (Day 10).

Following the weekend, weekday collections saw a sharp decline. Day 11 brought in ₹2.75 crore, followed by ₹3.75 crore on Day 12. The film's business further deteriorated on Day 13, collecting approximately ₹0.90 crore net with an occupancy of 27%. Day 14 continued this downward trend, with preliminary figures indicating a collection of around ₹0.02 crore net and an occupancy of 11% across 167 shows, according to industry tracker Sacnilk.

Competition from 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups'

The significant drop in 'Awarapan 2's' collections coincides with the release of Yash-starrer 'Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups' on August 26. This new competitor has made an immediate and impactful entry into the box office. 'Toxic' opened with a massive ₹101.10 crore net collection in India on its first day, pushing its India gross to ₹120.75 crore. Globally, 'Toxic' amassed an impressive ₹140.75 crore on its opening day, intensifying the competition for 'Awarapan 2' as it enters its third week.
