Batwara 1947 Sees Tremendous Growth On Day 2, Gets Big Independence Day Boost
Batwara 1947 has bounced back strongly on day 2. The Sunny Deol starrer is showing tremendous growth across centres and has got a bumper benefit from the National holiday of Independence Day. After a poor start on day 1, the film has picked up well in both morning and afternoon shows. The patriotic theme and holiday footfalls have worked in its favor today.
Early estimates suggest that the film will collect around 12 crore (+/-) on day 2. This marks more than 100 percent growth compared to its opening day number of 5.50 crore. The jump is significant and shows that word of mouth and the holiday crowd have helped the film find some audience. Single screens in mass belts have reported the biggest rise.
The Independence Day holiday has played a key role in this recovery. Families and youth turned up in larger numbers today compared to yesterday. While the clash with Awarapan 2 continues, Batwara 1947 has managed to hold its own in pockets where Sunny Deol has a strong pull. Evening and night shows are also expected to stay strong if the current trend continues.
The two-day total for Batwara 1947 is now likely to cross the 17 to 18 crore mark. The growth on day 2 has given the film a much-needed lifeline after its low opening. However, the film will still need to sustain well over the weekend to make a mark against the competition. A steady hold on Saturday evening and Sunday will be crucial.
Overall, Batwara 1947 has turned things around on day 2 with a strong jump. The Independence Day boost has come at the right time and has pushed the Sunny Deol starrer into double digits. If the film maintains this momentum for the rest of the weekend, it can aim for a respectable total despite the big clash.
