  "account": "Rajkummar Rao's film Prahaar: The Ujjwal Nikam Story experienced a modest debut at the box office, yet it demonstrated a 34% surge in its net collection on Day 2. The movie, released on October 16th, competed with Yami Gautam's Nayyi Navelli. According to Sacnilk, Prahaar collected Rs 3.15 crore in net collections across 3,908 shows on Day 2, up from its opening-day net collection of Rs 2.35 crore. The film's total India net collection is now Rs 5.50 crore, with an India gross of Rs 6.48 crore. Overseas, the film garnered Rs 75 lakh on Day 2, bringing its total overseas gross to Rs 1.50 crore. As of now, the worldwide gross collection stands at Rs 7.98 crore.\n\nReports suggest that the film was produced on a budget of approximately Rs 60 crore. Despite this, the box office performance so far appears underwhelming. To enhance its prospects, the film will require a significant increase in collections over the weekend and consistent business in the following days. Prahaar is a gripping courtroom drama based on the life and career of public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, starring Rajkummar Rao in the titular role. The cast also includes Wamiqa Gabbi, Lalit Prabhakar, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Sikandar Kher in key roles. The Free Press Journal reviewer gave the film a rating of 3.5 out of 5, praising the gripping writing, performances, and direction, although noting that occasional issues with Rajkummar Rao's Marathi accent and Wamiqa Gabbi's limited role hinder the film's perfection.",
