Earnings comparison
'Awarapan 2' is well ahead of 'Batwara 1947'
By the end of Day 11, Awarapan 2 has earned nearly ₹100cr more than Batwara 1947 in India net collections.
While Awarapan 2 is racing toward the ₹150cr milestone, Batwara 1947 is struggling to maintain momentum and is heading toward an underwhelming theatrical run.
The film was reportedly made on a budget of ₹120cr and will incur losses due to its poor performance at the box office.
