Awarapan 2 Eyes Box Office Domination Over Batwara 1947
12 Aug
Summary
- Awarapan 2 is predicted to surpass its predecessor's lifetime collection on its opening day.
- Batwara 1947 faces challenges due to actors' images clashing with roles.
- Trade experts note slower advance bookings for Batwara 1947 compared to Awarapan 2.
Trade experts predict Awarapan 2 will comfortably surpass the lifetime box office collection of its predecessor, Awarapan, on its opening day. Advance booking trends indicate a strong performance for Awarapan 2, with a notable edge over Batwara 1947. The original Awarapan, despite its critical acclaim, had a modest lifetime collection of Rs. 7.76 crores.
Batwara 1947 faces potential commercial challenges. Experts suggest that actors' established images may clash with their characters, particularly Sunny Deol playing a Muslim character and Shabana Azmi's off-screen persona. This disconnect could make it difficult for audiences to accept these roles.
While advance bookings for Batwara 1947 are slower, trade analysts emphasize that positive word-of-mouth and strong spot bookings, especially in mass centers driven by Sunny Deol's fan base, could still lead to a respectable opening. However, Awarapan 2 currently holds a significant lead in ticket sales across many centers.
