Batwara 1947 Box Office VS Top 5 Most Profitable Partition Dramas: Sunny Deol Needs To Earn This Much More To Make A Hattrick – Impossible Target!
When it comes to period dramas set against the haunting backdrop of India and Pakistan’s Partition, Sunny Deol should be considered box-office royalty. With legendary blockbusters like Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and Gadar 2 in his filmography, expectations were sky-high when director Rajkumar Santoshi’s Batwara 1947 hit theaters for the Independence Day weekend. However, after a struggling weekend, the expectations for the film have settled low!
In 3 days, the period drama helmed by Rajkumar Santoshi stands at a net collection of 25.15 crore in India. Mounted on a heavy production budget of 120 crore, the film stands at the foot of an exceptionally tough mountain to climb. In fact, there is no chance that Sunny Deol can claim another spot in the Top 5 Most Profitable Partition Dramas of Bollywood.

The top 5 partition period dramas are dominated by Sunny Deol’s presence twice! Interestingly, if all had gone well, Batwara 1947 would have made an entry on the list for the third time! However, the film helmed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Aamir Khan now faces an impossible target to hit to reach that milestone!
