Batwara 1947 Shows Improvement On Day 2 With 15 Percent Morning Occupancy

Batwara 1947 has shown some improvement on day 2. The Sunny Deol starrer registered around 15 percent occupancy in the morning shows today, which is a decent start considering it is Independence Day. The turnout was better than day 1 and several centres reported more walk-ins compared to yesterday. The patriotic theme of the film seems to be working a bit with the holiday crowd.

However, the film is still facing a big clash with Awarapan 2 and that has hurt it in a big way. The Emraan Hashmi starrer has taken a huge start today and is dominating screens and audience attention. Because of this direct competition, Batwara 1947 is getting limited shows in multiplexes and many single screens are also giving preference to the other release. The division of audience has clearly impacted its growth.

Despite the clash, the Independence Day holiday has given Batwara 1947 some breathing space. The morning numbers are higher than day 1 and there is hope of a jump in the evening and night shows. Word of mouth will be key now. If the film manages to connect with the family audience today, it can see a steady rise through the day.

Based on the current trend, Batwara 1947 is likely to finish day 2 with double digit collections of 10 crore plus. The final figure will depend on how the occupancy holds up through the day. A strong evening push can take the number higher, but a big jump looks difficult with Awarapan 2 leading the box office.

Overall, it has been a decent start for the Sunny Deol starrer on day 2. While the film is still far behind in the clash, the Independence Day boost has helped it recover slightly from the poor day 1. The next few shows today will decide whether Batwara 1947 can maintain this momentum and have a respectable weekend.
