Awarapan 2 has continued its strong run at the box office after its opening weekend, with the Emraan Hashmi starrer recording Rs. 8.89 crore on its first Monday. The film has consequently emerged as the fourth-highest first Monday grosser of 2026, putting it ahead of several major Hindi releases of the year. The Monday hold is particularly encouraging because it indicates that the film's strong weekend business has translated into weekday footfalls. Awarapan 2 has collected Rs. 8.89 crore, edging past Welcome To The Jungle, which recorded Rs. 8.24 crore, and Dhamaal 4, which earned Rs. 8.18 crore on their respective first Mondays. The Emraan Hashmi starrer is therefore ahead of the two films by 7.9% and 8.7%, respectively. At the top of the chart, Border 2 remains the year's biggest first Monday grosser with a massive Rs. 63.59 crore, followed by Dhurandhar: The Revenge at Rs. 59 crore. Spider-Man: Brand New Day occupies the third spot with Rs. 23.30 crore, meaning Awarapan 2 ...
