Batwara 1947 worldwide box office collection day 3: Sunny Deol's Batwara 1947 had hoped to build on the momentum it found on Independence Day, but the period drama ended its opening weekend on a disappointing note.

Batwara 1947 box office collection

According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Batwara 1947 earned around ₹7.25 crore gross in India on its third day, taking its three-day total to approximately ₹31.61 crore. The film recorded around 22% occupancy across 7,239 shows on Sunday. The 46.3% drop from Day 2, when it had collected ₹13.50 crore, has taken away some of the momentum it gained from the Independence Day holiday.

The Sunny Deol-led film opened with ₹5.75 crore gross on Friday from 8,721 shows, with an occupancy of around 15%. However, the picture changed on Saturday as the Independence Day holiday brought more audiences to theatres and gave the film a much-needed boost.

Batwara 1947 saw its collections jump by nearly 135% on Day 2, earning ₹13.50 crore. The strong Saturday performance had raised hopes of a healthy weekend, but Sunday failed to keep the momentum going. With the sharp drop in collections, the film wrapped up its opening weekend at around ₹31.61 crore gross in India.

The film's overseas performance has been fairly modest as well. The film earned around ₹2 crore on Day 3, taking its total overseas collection to approximately ₹5.50 crore. After three days, the film's worldwide gross stands at around ₹37.11 crore.

Awarapan 2 dominates the box office clash

Batwara 1947 has also found itself competing with Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2, and the difference between the two films has become increasingly clear. Awarapan 2 continued its strong theatrical run and has already crossed the ₹110.10 crore mark worldwide, giving it a clear advantage in the box office battle.
