Batwara 1947 Flops: Sunny Deol Film's Box Office Disaster
21 Aug
Summary
- Batwara 1947 earned ₹33.60 crore in its first week.
- The film, made on a ₹120 crore budget, faces an ₹80 crore loss.
- Collections declined steadily after a brief weekend surge.
The period drama 'Batwara 1947', starring Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta, has concluded its first week in theaters with a significantly underwhelming box office performance. The film garnered a total of ₹33.60 crore during its initial seven days, failing to meet expectations.
Opening on a Friday with ₹5.75 crore, the film saw a notable surge on Saturday, earning ₹13.50 crore. However, this momentum proved short-lived, as Sunday collections dropped to ₹7.25 crore, marking the beginning of a consistent downward trend.
Post-weekend, the film's earnings continued to decline, with Monday collections at ₹2 crore. A marginal increase to ₹2.25 crore was observed on Tuesday, potentially aided by discounted ticket prices. Despite this small respite, Wednesday saw a further 16 percent drop, with earnings falling to ₹1.4 crore, and Thursday brought in ₹1.3 crore.
With a reported production budget of ₹120 crore, the film's weak box office run places it on track for substantial financial losses, estimated to be around ₹80 crore.
