Emraan Hashmi's 'Awarapan 2' continues to dominate the box office, earning ₹5.50 crore on its eighth day and reaching a worldwide gross of ₹169.17 crore.
In contrast, Sunny Deol's 'Batwara 1947' has struggled, earning three times less than the Hashmi starrer and failing to cross the ₹50 crore mark globally.
Director Rajkumar Santoshi acknowledged the performance gap, stating he would congratulate the 'Awarapan 2' team on their commercial success as the film becomes Hashmi's biggest hit.
