  "account": "Two Bollywood films, Rajkummar Rao's Prahaar and Yami Gautam's Nayyi Navelli, have recently been released. Despite having decent pre-release buzz and low advance bookings, Nayyi Navelli appears to be ahead at the box office on its first day. According to early predictions, Nayyi Navelli is expected to collect around Rs. 2.50-3 crore on opening day.

Prahaar, on the other hand, may earn around Rs. 1.50-2 crore on its first day, with the possibility of increased earnings in later showings. Nayyi Navelli has received mixed reviews from both critics and audiences. The Free Press Journal reviewer gave it 2 stars, stating that while the film has a compelling story, the weak screenplay and narration result in a below-average watching experience. Prahaar, however, has mostly positive reviews. The Free Press Journal praised it as a gripping courtroom drama with strong performances and direction, despite occasional struggles with the Marathi accent and limited role for Wamiqa Gabbi.",
