Batwara 1947 Vs Awarapan 2 Box Office Collection Day 3: The box office clash between Awarapan 2 and Batwara 1947, releasing on the same day after 19 years since Sunny Deol and Emraan Hashmi last locked horns with Apne and Awarapan in 2007, has turned one-sided by day 3.
DON'T MISS
Awarapan 2 Powers Ahead
Emraan Hashmi’s sequel opened at Rs 22 crore net on Friday, jumped to Rs 33.75 crore on Saturday riding the Independence Day holiday, and added Rs 17.80 crore on Sunday. That takes its three-day India net total to Rs 73.55 crore, with gross collections crossing Rs 87.90 crore. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh called the film’s Saturday numbers a “dhamakedaar” show, citing strong occupancy across Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets.
Batwara 1947 Struggles to Keep Pace
Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta’s Partition-era drama opened more modestly at Rs 5.75 crore net on Friday, rose to Rs 13.50 crore on Saturday, but slipped to around Rs 5.47 crore on Sunday, a sharper decline than its rival’s. Its three-day net total stands near Rs 24.72 crore.
The Gap Widens
Batwara 1947 Vs Awarapan 2 Box Office Collection Day 3: Awarapan 2 has now collected close to three times what Batwara 1947 has earned over the same three days, with the gap visible from opening day itself, when Hashmi’s film outpaced Deol’s by nearly four times. Industry trackers say nostalgia around the original Awarapan and stronger multiplex-to-single-screen spread have worked heavily in the sequel’s favour.
With Awarapan 2 eyeing the Rs 100 crore gross mark by the end of its opening weekend, attention now turns to Monday’s numbers to see whether Batwara 1947 can arrest its slide or if the gap widens further into the weekday run.
