Corroboration: 5 independent outlets

Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 collected Rs 8.89-10.55 crore gross on its first Monday, varying by source, and has crossed Rs 100 crore gross in India within four days. The film's total domestic nett stands at Rs 90-94.37 crore, with worldwide gross estimated at Rs 128-130.8 crore, according to different outlets. It is the second Bollywood film of 2026 to be declared a hit after Dhurandhar 2. Pinkvilla and Bollywood Hungama report Monday nett of Rs 9 crore and Rs 8.89 crore respectively, while Koimoi says Rs 10.06 crore and TrackTollywood says Rs 10.55 crore gross. Cinema Express reports Rs 9.25 crore nett citing Sacnilk. The film saw a 57-65% drop from Sunday, which analysts describe as a strong hold given its holiday-boosted opening. Discount day on Tuesday is expected to push collections over Rs 100 crore nett. Made on a budget of Rs 45 crore, Awarapan 2 has already recorded 109.71% return on investment, according to Koimoi. The film is now aiming for superhit status at Rs 112.5 crore nett, likely by Wednesday. No major Hindi releases are due for two weeks, though Toxic arrives next Wednesday, which could slow its run. The film ranks 4th highest first Monday grosser of 2026 after Border 2, Dhurandhar, and Spider-Man.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The box office numbers for Awarapan 2 vary by Rs 1-2 crore across sources, a common gap due to differing tracking methods and territory coverage. Koimoi and TrackTollywood report higher figures, likely including more premium formats or wider sample, while Bollywood Hungama and Pinkvilla give conservative estimates. All agree the film is a clean hit and on course for superhit. The real test will be Tuesday's discount-day surge and Wednesday's hold before Toxic's release, which could cap its lifetime run well below the Rs 200 crore milestone suggested by Cinema Express.
