Awarapan 2 Box Office Collection Day 1 Emraan Hashmi Film Takes the Lead Over Sunny Deol’s Batwara 1947
Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2 and Sunny Deol’s Batwara 1947 have released in theatres on August 14, 2026, setting up an interesting box-office clash during the Independence Day weekend.
Awarapan 2 Day 1 Collection
Early box-office trends suggest that Awarapan 2 has made the stronger start. The film recorded better occupancy during the morning shows and benefited from the nostalgia surrounding the original Awarapan, along with strong interest in Emraan Hashmi’s return to the franchise.
Trade estimates currently indicate that Awarapan 2 could finish its opening day in the ₹15–20 crore net range, depending on afternoon and evening show occupancy. The final figure is expected to become clearer after the complete day’s collections are reported.
Batwara 1947 Opening Day
Sunny Deol’s Batwara 1947 has opened comparatively slower. The film had lower occupancy during the initial shows, but the Independence Day holiday could help improve its numbers later in the day.
Early estimates suggest that Batwara 1947 could record an opening of around ₹8–10 crore net on Day 1. The film’s performance over the weekend will largely depend on audience reactions and word-of-mouth.

Awarapan 2 vs Batwara 1947: Who Is Winning?
Based on the early trends, Awarapan 2 is currently ahead of Batwara 1947 at the box office. The Emraan Hashmi starrer appears to have benefited from stronger audience interest and franchise nostalgia.
However, these are early estimates and not final Day 1 figures. Evening shows, late-night screenings and weekend occupancy could significantly change the final numbers.
Day 1 Early Estimate
- Awarapan 2: Approximately ₹15–20 crore net
- Batwara 1947: Approximately ₹8–10 crore net
- Early Winner: Awarapan 2
The real test for both films will come during the Independence Day weekend, when audience turnout is expected to be higher.
