Batwara 1947 Vs Awarapan 2 Box Office Collection Day 4:The first working Monday after the Independence Day weekend has confirmed what trade watchers suspected all along: Awarapan 2 is running away with this box office clash, while Batwara 1947’s patriotic momentum has all but evaporated.
DON'T MISS
Awarapan 2 Keeps Climbing
Emraan Hashmi‘s sequel added Rs 9.25 crore on day 4, a 64.4 per cent drop from its Sunday numbers but still enough to push its four-day India net total to Rs 91 crore. Gross collections have now crossed Rs 109 crore, putting the film well within reach of the Rs 100 crore net milestone within its first week. Made on a reported budget of Rs 45 crore, the film was already profitable by the end of its opening weekend.
Batwara 1947 Hits a Wall
Sunny Deol’s period drama fared far worse. After collecting Rs 7.25 crore on Sunday, the film managed just Rs 2 crore on Monday, a steep 72 per cent single-day drop. That takes its four-day net total to Rs 28.5 crore, with gross collections around Rs 33.95 crore, well short of what its reported Rs 120 crore budget demands.
The Gap Widens Further
Batwara 1947 Vs Awarapan 2 Box Office Collection Day 4:Awarapan 2 has now earned more than 362 per cent of what Batwara 1947 has made over the same four days. Industry trackers note the irony: 19 years after Sunny Deol’s Apne crushed Emraan Hashmi‘s original Awarapan in 2007, the tables have completely turned in the sequel’s rematch.
With weekday occupancy for Batwara 1947 sitting at just 10 per cent against Awarapan 2’s 20 per cent, the period drama faces an uphill battle to even approach its budget by the end of week one, while Hashmi’s film sets its sights on the coveted Rs 100 crore net club.
