The nostalgic reunion of Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta generated significant pre-release chatter for the historical period drama Batwara 1947. Fans expected the duo to recreate the magic Sunny Deol & Ameesha Patel created with Gadar and Gadar 2. However, the film has met a dismal fate at the ticket windows, with the two superstars delivering their second consecutive Flop together.
Sunny Deol & Preity Zinta’s Box Office
Despite sharing screen space across five feature films spanning more than two decades, the Sunny Deol–Preity Zinta pairing has struggled to deliver one commercial Success, yielding just one successful venture out of five attempts, which was a saving grace, recovering its budget at the box office!
Batwara 1947 Box Office – 2nd Flop!
Batwara 1947 will be Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta’s second consecutive Flop at the box office. The film is mounted on a huge budget of 120 crore! To avoid a flop verdict, it needs to recover more than 50% of its budget to secure a losing verdict rather than a disastrous flop! However, given Batwara 1947’s pace, the film is poised to become a flop!
Single Success Since 2001
Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta’s journey began on a bright note with Farz in 2001. Made on a budget of 10 crore, the film earned a net collection of 11.20 crore in India, turning out to be their only theatrical Success as a pairing.
Previous Theatrical Outing At The Box Office
Before Batwara 1947, Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta arrived together for an action comedy, Bhaiaji Superhit! The much-delayed action comedy was released in 2018, 10 years after their last collaboration, Heroes. Bhaiaji Superhit was produced on a budget of 40 crore. It tanked at the ticket windows, collecting a meager 6.50 crore and earning a Flop verdict.
Batwara 1947’s Box Office Fate!
In 10 days, Batwara 1947, Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta’s most ambitious collaboration to date, has earned a net collection of only 33 crore. The film is mounted on a massive 120 crore budget, and is inching towards the flop verdict!
With 5 films, producers have invested almost 221 crore in this on-screen pair, but they have contributed to 59.7% loss with five films, though Batwara 1947’s final numbers might change this figure by a whisker!
