'Batwara 1947' hits Rs 30 crore with a 12.5% Day 5 jump, lags at 24% of budget

Batwara 1947's box office journey shows a sharp downward turn. The film collected approximately thirty crore rupees after five days. Weekday performances have been particularly underwhelming for the period drama. The movie has recovered only twenty-four point five percent of its budget. This leaves the film with a considerable distance to cover profitability.

'Batwara 1947' hits Rs 30 crore with a 12.5% Day 5 jump, lags at 24% of budget

Sunny Deol's period drama Batwara 1947 is experiencing a significant decline in the box office, with its fifth day collections registering a 12.5% increase from its first Monday. The film, starring Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, and Karan Deol, has managed to collect Rs 30.75 crore domestically, which is just 24.5% of its reported Rs 120 crore budget. This puts the film well below the break-even point, as it has yet to recover even half of the money invested in its production.
