Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 To Continue Good Run At Box Office Until The Toxic Storm Arrives
Last week in Mumbai, some apostles of peace from various faiths gathered to praise filmmakers, Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Santoshi for Batwara 1947. They chorused that this Sunny Deol starrer that preaches religious tolerance and secularism is the need of the war-hour. However, their speech came too late in the day and fell on deaf ears.

Meanwhile, Hollywood's hold on the Indian market continues, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day nearing the ₹500 crore mark. Other recent English releases, such as Insidious: Out of the Further and Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie, have managed modest collections, while Mutiny, starring Jason Statham, has performed well with approximately ₹33 lakhs in just two days.
