The Story in Brief
Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 has sold 44,873 tickets worth Rs 1.56 crore in advance booking across India, outdoing Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947 which has sold 12,864 tickets for Rs 42.77 lakh, according to Sacnilk data. Maharashtra contributed the most for Awarapan 2 with Rs 36.05 lakh, while Delhi leads for Batwara 1947 with Rs 12.23 lakh. Both films release on August 14.
Directed by Nitin Kakkar, Awarapan 2 stars Emraan Hashmi, Disha Patani, and Shabana Azmi. Batwara 1947, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced under Aamir Khan Productions, features Sunny Deol, Karan Deol, and Ali Fazal. The Partition drama has music by AR Rahman and lyrics by Javed Akhtar. Shows for both films are expected to increase.
The Indian Opinion
The box office battle has triggered claims that Emraan Hashmi's pull has revived, but the numbers are modest: Rs 1.56 crore against Rs 42.77 lakh in advance sales. Both films may benefit from the August 14 release date rather than any star war. The real test will be the opening weekend footfalls, not pre-sales that include discounts and bulk bookings.
