Sunny Deol-Starrer Batwara 1947 Earns Rs 75 Lakh on Second Friday
· Entertainment · Indian Express, Times of India
Sunny Deol-starrer Batwara 1947 collected only Rs 75 lakh at the domestic box office on its second Friday, bringing its total worldwide gross to Rs 49.02 crore. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the partition-themed film also stars Preity Zinta and Shabana Azmi, but has failed to cross the Rs 50 crore milestone after eight days in theatres. Released alongside Awarapan 2 on August 14, the film saw its collections slide after a peak earlier in the week across 3,211 shows with a 9% occupancy rate. Produced by Aamir Khan, the film now faces a potential theatrical exit with the upcoming release of Yash-starrer Toxic on August 28. The report does not specify future screening plans beyond scheduled theatre runs.
Why it matters
The film's underperformance impacts box office returns for producers and distributors, especially given the high-profile cast and extensive promotion across India.
