The Story in Brief
Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947 earned only 8.29 crore worldwide on its opening day, August 14, against a 120 crore budget. The film collected 1.5 crore overseas, making it Sunny Deol's second-lowest post-COVID overseas opening, ahead of only Chup (50 lakh). In India, the net collection was 5.75 crore, with a gross of 6.79 crore. Recovery stands at just 4.7%.
The film was crushed by competition from Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2. However, Koimoi notes that the similar opening of Imtiaz Ali's Main Vaapas Aaunga (1.5 crore overseas) went on to cross 90 crore worldwide. Batwara 1947 now depends on a weekend jump to avoid disaster.
The Indian Opinion
The claim that Batwara 1947 is a box office disaster may be premature. Many films, including Main Vaapas Aaunga, opened low but recovered through word of mouth. However, with a 120 crore budget, the film needs a massive weekend jump. The real test will be Saturday and Sunday numbers: will they match the recovery pattern of Main Vaapas Aaunga or confirm the worst?
