Batwara 1947, the period drama produced by Aamir Khan Productions, was made with high expectations, given the stellar cast including Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta and Shabana Azmi, a patriotic narrative and emotional depth. However, the film underperformed at the box office, failing even to reach the 50 crore net milestone in its first week, signaling a major box-office failure.

The Sunny Deol-starrer, despite a rise on day 5 (First Tuesday), saw a decline in collections on day 6 (First Wednesday), with a 37.8 percent drop. According to the Sacnilk data, the partition drama earned 1.40 crore net across 6,475 shows with 9 percent occupancy. It earned 50 lakhs in the overseas market on Day 6.

Verdict

Batwara 1947, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and starring Karan Deol, Kanikka Kapur, Abhimanyu Singh, and Ali Fazal, has turned out to be a disaster, with the film struggling to reach the 50 crore milestone on day 6, due to tough competition from the same day-released Emraan Hashmi starrer Awarapan 2.
