Batwara 1947 Box Office Day 2: Sunny Deol-Led Partition Drama Witnesses Huge Jump From Opening Day; Earns More Than Rs 19 Cr

Sunny Deol’s Batwara 1947 opened in theatres on Friday and is performing reasonably well at the box office. Set against the backdrop of the partition drama, the film received a mixed response from audiences; however, Sunny Deol’s performance was widely praised. The makers of Batwara 1947, a Partition-era drama, were likely encouraged by this trend. However, what they did not anticipate was the resurgence of Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2, which overshadowed Sunny Deol’s film at the box office on its opening day. Scroll down to read the full story.
