Awarapan 2, starring Emraan Hashmi, is leading in advance ticket bookings ahead of the Independence Day weekend. NDTV reports that the film’s booking momentum is stronger than that of Batwara 1947, with Awarapan 2 ahead by about 81% in the advance figures cited.
The outlets frame the development as an early indicator of audience pull going into the holiday period. The comparison focuses specifically on advance booking performance rather than opening-day numbers or box-office collections after release. With the Independence Day weekend approaching, both films are positioned to compete for attention, and the current lead is presented as a short-term advantage based on ticket sales trends so far.
