  "account": "Awarapan 2 has exceeded expectations at the box office, grossing Rs 130 crore worldwide after four days. Despite a 64 percent drop compared to the previous day's collections, the Emraan Hashmi and Disha Patani-starrer managed to earn Rs 9.25 crore on Monday alone across 10,849 showings, with an occupancy rate of 23.48%. This marks Emraan Hashmi's biggest opening of his career and represents a significant comeback for him after his recent projects. Disha Patani also experienced a major hit with her second film of the year, following the over Rs 159 crore worldwide success of Welcome to the Jungle. The film's success is especially notable as its 2007 predecessor struggled at the box office but later developed a cult following among its loyal fan base. Emraan Hashmi expressed his gratitude towards the audience during a surprise visit to a screening and hinted at the possibility of another sequel. It remains to be seen whether Awarapan 2 can maintain its momentum in the upcoming weeks.",
