Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta's 'Batwara 1947' experienced a sharp 72% decline in box office collections on its first Monday, earning approximately ₹40 crore total.
The film is currently struggling to maintain momentum, significantly trailing behind the performance of 'Awarapan 2', which is rapidly approaching the ₹100 crore mark.
Despite the commercial slump, veteran actress Hema Malini has publicly praised the film, stating that it conveys a vital message of kindness over hatred for the nation.
