Sunny Deol’s Batwara 1947 is finding it difficult to maintain its momentum at the box officeAfter a modest opening weekend, the Partition drama witnessed a major drop in collections on its first Monday, August 17The film, which is competing with Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2, is now facing a tough test during the weekdays. According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Batwara 1947 earned Rs 2 crore net in India on Day 4The film recorded around 11% occupancy across 6,771 showsThis marks a 72.4% drop from its Sunday collection of Rs 7.25 crore.
With this, the film’s India net collection stands at Rs 28.50 crore, while its India gross collection has reached Rs 33.95 croreThe film added around Rs 0.75 crore from overseas markets on Monday, taking its overseas gross to Rs 6.25 croreIts worldwide gross collection now stands at Rs 40.20 crore.
The sharp Monday fall could be a concern for the film, as weekday collections often indicate whether a movie can sustain its theatrical run after the opening weekendSo far, Batwara 1947 has struggled to convert the interest around its cast and Partition-based story into strong box office numbers.
Awarapan 2 widens the gap
Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2 continues to perform much better at the box officeWhile Batwara 1947 collected Rs 2 crore on its first Monday, Awarapan 2 earned Rs 9.25 crore net on the same day. The Emraan Hashmi-starrer therefore collected more than four times Batwara 1947’s Monday earnings, giving it a clear advantage in the box office race.
Batwara 1947 features a strong ensemble cast, including Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal and Karan DeolDespite favourable reviews, the film has not seen a similar response in terms of theatrical footfalls.
