Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta's film 'Batwara 1947' is struggling at the box office, earning only ₹75 lakh on its second Friday.
The film has yet to cross the ₹50 crore mark worldwide, with director Rajkumar Santoshi addressing concerns that the protagonist's Muslim character may have impacted viewership.
Despite the slow performance, the makers maintain that the film is not propaganda and highlights the dignity of the action hero archetype.
