Batwara 1947 Box Office Day 4: At Rs 40 cr, Sunny Deol film earns 1/5th of Awarapan 2

On the fourth day of its theatrical run, Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947 collected a disappointing Rs 2 crore on its first Monday, marking a sharp decline from its opening day. The film's worldwide gross now stands at Rs 40.20 crore, while its India net collections total Rs 28.5 crore. In contrast, Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 grossed Rs 9.25 crore on its first Monday, bringing its worldwide collection to Rs 130.82 crore.

This suggests that Batwara 1947 is unlikely to surpass the Rs 100 crore milestone. The film's occupancy dipped to 10.21 percent on Monday, with Delhi-NCR region showing 680 shows at 11 percent occupancy and Mumbai region with around 400 shows at 9.5 percent occupancy. Other films from Aamir Khan's production house, such as Jaat and Border 2, outperformed Batwara 1947, with Jaat earning Rs 7.25 crore on its first Monday and Border 2 making Rs 20 crore.

Sunny Deol's previous release, Gadar 2, was a notable success, collecting Rs 38.70 crore on its first Monday and earning Rs 686 crore worldwide. However, Aamir Khan's other recent projects like Ek Din, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jassos, Sitaare Zameen Par, Laapataa Ladies, and Laal Singh Chaddha have struggled at the box office.
