Animal recorded the fourth highest Monday ever of all time but the three films above it all had some holiday support. Tiger 3 was a huge national holiday and it was only the second day for the film after a Sunday release so that can actually be discounted but for the records the fact is that it was the first Monday of the film.. 

Bahubali - The Conclusion was a holiday and while Gadar 2 - The Katha Continues was not a holiday it had an advantage of there being a huge national holiday the next day which would have benefited the film. the actual best first Monday which has no holiday or holiday affect is Jawan and that film collected a little over 28 crore nett and Animal is 10 crore nett higher than that film.

The collections of Animal on Monday are also 13 crore nett more than the other major grossers post the pandemic(Pathaan and KGF 2). A 30 crore nett number is phenomenal for a weekday especially without a holiday and now it remains to be seen how many days it can stay above 30 crore nett over the weekdays as that is difficult to do for one day without holiday support.   The top Mondays of all time are as follows.

1. Tiger 3 - 56,08,00,000 (Holiday, Day Two)
