Awarapan 2 Advance Sales Indicate Strong Opening

The romantic drama Awarapan 2, starring Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani, is generating significant pre-release momentum, with advance ticket sales indicating a strong opening at the box office. The film, which is set for release on August 14, 2026, has already sold tens of thousands of tickets across major national cinema chains, positioning it for a potential opening day collection of over 20 crore rupees.

According to reports, the film had sold approximately 20,000 tickets by Tuesday night, August 11, through chains like PVR Inox and Cinepolis. This early response is particularly notable as the movie faces a box office clash with the Sunny Deol-starrer Batwara 1947. Despite the competition, Awarapan 2 holds a clear lead in advance sales, with projections suggesting it could finish with over 100,000 tickets sold at national chains. However, a challenge remains in securing optimal screen time, as Batwara 1947 is distributed by PVR Inox and is reportedly receiving an equal number of shows.
