Sunny Deol's period drama 'Batwara 1947' earned Rs 28.90 crore net in India across five days, according to Sacnilk data reported by Times of India. The film released on August 14 clashed with Emraan Hashmi's 'Awarapan 2' and Hollywood's 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'.
After an opening weekend of Rs 26.50 crore, the film's collections dropped sharply on Monday, earning Rs 2 crore. Pinkvilla reports the film 'crashed' on its first Monday and calls the opening weekend 'disappointing'. Tuesday's early figures stand at Rs 0.41 crore from 3,171 shows.
The film, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, also stars Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, and Karan Deol. Reviews have been mixed from both audiences and critics.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Pinkvilla's coverage frames the film as a 'crash' and 'tanking', leading with the sharp Monday drop, emphasising failure. Times of India leads with a fuller day-wise table and includes live-up-to expectations ('eyes to surpass Rs 30 cr'), offering a more procedural, neutral box-office tracker. Pinkvilla omits the Tuesday live update and the competition context. Times of India omits Pinkvilla's dramatic 'crash' language. A careful reader sees a film that opened moderately, spiked on Saturday, then dropped sharply, standard for a non-franchise drama. The real test is the second Friday hold, 'Awarapan 2' and 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' competition will determine its final tally.
