  "account": "Emraan Hashmi reprised his role as Shivam Pandit in Awarapan 2, which released on August 14 alongside Disha Patani. Despite competing with Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947 on the box office, the film has been doing well and has already surpassed the Rs 50 crore mark in net domestic collections. On Day 3, which was Sunday, Awarapan 2 collected an estimated Rs 26 crore net nationwide in 9,403 showings, according to Sacnilk. Although this represents a 23% decrease from Saturday's Rs 33.75 crore net, the film's overall performance remains robust. With the addition of Day 3's collection, Awarapan 2 has reportedly amassed Rs 81.75 crore in net collections in India, with its India gross collection now estimated at around Rs 98.10 crore.",
