Batwara 1947 vs Awarapan 2 Advance Booking
A major roadblock for the period drama was competition from Awarapan 2. It is more of a word-of-mouth dependent affair, while Emraan Hashmi starrer majorly benefited from the sequel factor. In the final pre-sales, the action drama grossed 8.57 crore (excluding blocked seats). It sold a staggering 2.85 lakh tickets.
In comparison, Batwara 1947 has stayed far, far behind. All eyes are now on the spot bookings, as it may likely miss the double-digit score on day 1 in India.
Leaves behind Jaat
Back in 2025, Sunny Deol delivered his last solo release, Jaat. The action thriller earned 2.59 crore gross in final advance booking sales. Unfortunately, his latest film could not touch that mark. Needless to say, it stayed behind Border 2 and the top 5 advance booking sales of 2026.
