The Rajkumar Santoshi-directed film 'Batwara 1947', starring Sunny Deol, has achieved a worldwide gross collection of Rs 51.12 crore.

The film's India net collection reached Rs 35.50 crore, with a gross collection of Rs 42.12 crore. Overseas, it added Rs 9.00 crore to its tally. Director Rajkumar Santoshi addressed concerns about Sunny Deol's character, clarifying that Deol portrays an Indian Muslim who is displaced, not a Pakistani.
