  "account": "Tom Cruise's film Digger has faced a significant box office setback, grossing Rs 1.30 crore in India, according to Sacnilk data from its second day of release. The film, which opened in 468 screens on Friday, only earned Rs 45 lakh on its first day, a drop of over 30% from its opening day collection of Rs 65 lakh. After two days, Digger has managed to gross only Rs 1.30 crore, a far cry from Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, which opened with Rs 33.50 crore from over 9,000 screens in India last year. The low box office performance of Digger can be attributed to its clash with Ajay Devgn's crime thriller Drishyam 3, which has already amassed over 115 crore from over 16,000 screens in its first two days of release. The film, which stars Tom Cruise as a greedy oil tycoon, has also faced criticism for its polarizing reviews and Cruise's departure from his action superstar persona. The budget for Digger was reported to be a hefty Rs 125 crore, a stark contrast to Cruise's last release, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, which was made on a budget of Rs 300-400 crore but managed to earn Rs 599 crore in its lifetime.",
