Batwara 1947, the Sunny Deol-starrer film made with great intention, has not witnessed the same excitement among fans since its release. After a below-average first week, the second week continued to see earnings decline, witnessing a minor jump on the 2nd Sunday (Day 10). But even the rising earnings couldn’t save the film, which struggled to cross the 40 crore net mark.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the Rajkumar Santoshi-directed period drama earned 1.30 crore net across 5402 shows with just 16 percent occupancy on the second Sunday (Day 10). Compared with Day 9’s 1.15 crore net collection, Day 10 saw a 13 percent increase. Overseas, the film earned 50 lakhs again on Day 10, maintaining a stable momentum in the foreign market.

Verdict
Batwara 1947, produced by Aamir Khan Productions, also stars Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, Karan Deol, Kanikka Kapur, Abhimanyu Singh, and Ali Fazal. Clashing with Awarapan 2, the partition-era film failed to impress viewers, seeing lower box office collections, while the Emraan Hashmi starrer has crossed the 130 crore net mark.
