  "account": "Emraan Hashmi's romantic action drama, Awarapan 2, is set to become one of the highest-grossing films of 2026 in India. With a profit of 215% in just 10 days, the sequel has surpassed the box office success of Hashmi's first hit, Murder, which achieved a 200% profit. The film, starring Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi, has collected a total of Rs 165.75 crore in India so far, resulting in a net profit of approximately Rs 139 crore. The Independence Day holiday and strong word-of-mouth contributed to Awarapan 2's steady performance throughout its first and second weeks. If the current trend continues, Awarapan 2 could potentially break the lifetime collection of the Ajay Devgn-led comedy, Dhamaal 4, making it the fifth-highest-grossing Bollywood release of the year.",
  "summary": "Awarapan 2 stands out as a blockbuster hit in Bollywood for 2026, inching closer to the Rs 150 crore milestone within India. In just ten days, it has outperformed the profit margins of Murder. This sequel has quickly climbed to be the fifth-highest-grossing release in Bollywood this year, marking a triumphant return for Emraan Hashmi.",
