The Story in Brief
Sunny Deol-starrer Batwara 1947 collected Rs 5.75 crore net in India on its opening day, according to NDTV and Business Today. Business Today reported a domestic gross of Rs 6.84 crore, while Koimoi put it at Rs 6.79 crore. Koimoi reported worldwide gross earnings of Rs 8.29 crore, whereas NDTV cited Rs 8.34 crore. The film recorded about 15% overall occupancy, with Chennai at 30%, followed by Lucknow at 23.5% and Jaipur at 21.3%. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, the Partition drama stars Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, Ali Fazal, Karan Deol and Shabana Azmi.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story is that Batwara 1947 has failed because Awarapan 2 opened much higher. That comparison is fair on opening-day numbers, but not enough to judge a period drama’s full run. The reported figures also differ slightly across outlets, so precision matters before declaring a verdict. Occupancy near 15% points to a difficult start, while the next few days will show whether word of mouth can lift shows and collections. Can the film cross Rs 20 crore net in India by its first weekend?
