The buzz around Awarapan 2 Box Office: Emraan Hashmi starrer emerges as 4th highest first Monday grosser of 2026 refuses to die down. From social media chatter to box office projections, everyone in the industry seems to have an opinion — and the latest update only strengthens the conversation.

The Story So Far

Add as a preferred source on Google 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 movie has consequently emerged as the fourth-highest first Monday grosser of 2026, putting it ahead of several significant Hindi releases of the year.

The Monday hold is particularly encouraging because it indicates that the movie's strong weekend business has translated into weekday footfalls. Awarapan 2 has minted Rs. 8.89 crore, edging past Welcome To The Jungle, which recorded Rs.

8.24 crore, and Dhamaal 4, which collected Rs. 8.18 crore on their respective first Mondays. The Emraan Hashmi starrer is therefore ahead of the two captures 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 enormous Rs. 63.59 crore, followed by Dhurandhar: The Revenge at Rs. Spider-Man: Brand fresh Day occupies the third spot with Rs.

23.30 crore, meaning Awarapan 2 is the only movie in the Top 5 after these three significant event releases to cross the Rs. 8 crore mark on its first Monday. The gap with the captures below Awarapan 2 is also telling.

Bhooth Bangla minted Rs. 6.25 crore on its first Monday, while Cocktail 2 recorded Rs. O' Romeo and Alpha are further behind at Rs.

3.82 crore, respectively. In other words, Awarapan 2 has delivered a Monday box office haul nearly 42% higher than Bhooth Bangla and over 46% higher than Cocktail 2. What makes the Monday number significant is that Awarapan 2 is not simply riding the strength of its opening weekend anymore.

8.89 crore suggests that the movie has retained a sizeable portion of its weekend viewers, giving it a solid foundation for the crucial first-week run. For a follow-up built around the cult recall of the original and Emraan Hashmi's action image, the weekday response provides an important indication that the theatrical interest extends beyond the initial nostalgia factor.

The movie's position is even more impressive when viewed against the scale of the 2026 box office. The top three first Monday performers — Border 2, Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Spider-Man: Brand fresh Day — are all large-scale event captures. Awarapan 2, meanwhile, has positioned itself directly behind them, while staying ahead of several established franchises and leading name-driven releases.

For Emraan Hashmi, the Monday turn further strengthens what has already been a remarkable career turnaround. After emerging as his biggest opening weekend grosser, Awarapan 2 has now pointed out another significant milestone by entering the Top 4 first Monday performers of 2026. 8.89 crore coming in on the first working day after the weekend, the movie has given itself a healthy platform for the rest of the week.

The key now will be how well it holds through Tuesday and Wednesday, but for the moment, Awarapan 2 is firmly holding its own among the year's biggest theatrical pe…

What happens next is anyone's guess, but one thing is certain: this development has added a fresh chapter to an already fascinating entertainment saga. Stay tuned to TeraMovies for all the latest updates from the world of cinema.
