On its 14th day, the Sunny Deol-starrer Batwara 1947 lost about 95% of its theatre shows as audience turnout fell sharply.
Batwara 1947, starring Sunny Deol, opened to moderate expectations and had a steady run in the first two weeks. By day 14, the film’s box office trajectory showed a sudden reversal.
Trade sources indicate that the number of shows screened across theatres dropped by roughly 95%, reflecting a steep decline in viewer interest. The drop is being described as a reaction to growing negative word‑of‑mouth and online sentiment.
Despite the early buzz, the film has struggled to maintain its audience base, and exhibitors have begun pulling it from many screens. The sharp reduction in screenings underscores the challenges faced by mid‑budget releases in a competitive market.
