Sunny Deol’s period drama Batwara 1947 collected ₹8.73 crore net in India on its second day, taking the two-day India net total to ₹14.48 crore, according to Sacnilk data. Worldwide gross stands at an estimated ₹17.14 crore after adding overseas collections. The film had opened with just ₹5.75 crore net in India and a worldwide gross of ₹8.34 crore on August 14, with overseas contributing only ₹1.5 crore. Koimoi.com reports the film’s budget is ₹120 crore, meaning Day 1 recovered about 4.7% of costs. The film faces stiff competition from Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Batwara 1947 stars Sunny Deol as a Muslim refugee and marks Preity Zinta’s return after eight years.
