Batwara 1947 box office Day 5: Sunny Deol’s film earns Rs 43 cr; another flop for Aamir Khan

Batwara 1947 box office Day 5: Sunny Deol’s film earns Rs 43 cr; another flop for Aamir Khan

On the fifth day of its theatrical run, the Sunny Deol-starring film Batwara 1947 has earned Rs 2.25 crore from approximately 6,600 showings, a marginal increase from Rs 2 crore over 6,771 showings on the previous day. Despite a steep 60% drop from its performance on Monday, the film continues to struggle at the domestic box office.

Batwara 1947's total collection now stands at Rs 30.75 crore in India, a mere third of Awarapan 2's cumulative earnings for the same period. In comparison to Sunny Deol's recent release Border 2, Batwara 1947's first five-day domestic collection is underwhelming, with Border 2 collecting Rs 200 crore during the same timeframe. The latter also managed a Rs 30 crore opening day, a figure close to what Batwara 1947 has achieved in its initial five days.

Despite these disappointing numbers, Batwara 1947 has still managed to earn more in five days than many of Aamir Khan's earlier films.
