Awarapan 2 Box Office: Emraan Hashmi Is Aiming The Top 3 Spots For Romantic Drama Openers In The Post-COVID Era!

It was nineteen years ago that Shivam Pandit first captivated audiences in the 2007 cult classic Awarapan. Now, Emraan Hashmi is returning with Awarapan 2. Directed by Nitin Kakkar and co-starring Disha Patani, along with Shabana Azmi, the romantic drama has generated tremendous curiosity thanks to its musical legacy and a trailer diving into the nostalgia.

Emraan Hashmi Eyes A Strong!

As the film prepares for its theatrical release, Emraan Hashmi isn’t just looking for a strong two-digit opening; he is eyeing a place in the Top 3 Highest Romantic Drama Openers in the Post-COVID Era! The spots are currently ruled by Saiyaara, Tere Ishk Mein, and Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat!

Awarapan 2 Box Office Opening Target!

To secure a spot among the top 3 post-COVID romantic openings, Awarapan 2’s box office needs to surpass the 10.10 crore opening figure! Currently, the third spot is owned by Harshvardhan Rane & Sonam Bajwa’s Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat! If the advance booking picks up strongly, then Emraan Hashmi‘s romantic drama might even challenge the second spot!
