Batwara 1947 vs Awarapan 2 X Review: After months of a dry spell at the box office, the Indian box office witnessed an interesting box office clash with two of the most anticipated releases locking horns at the theatres. We are talking about Sunny Deol starrer Batwara 1947 and Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2. Both the movies have been creating immense buzz in the town despite different genres and served as a perfect treat for the audience.

To note, Awarapan 2, starring Emraan Hashmi, Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi in the lead, is the sequel to the 2007 release Awarapan. Directed by Nitin Kakkar, Awarapan 2 is an action thriller featuring Emraan reprising his role of Shivam Pandit. Given the nostalgia factor, Awarapan 2 has managed to hog the spotlight lately.

Emran Hashmi की #Awarapan2 ने Sunny deol की #Batwara1947 का धुंआ उड़ा दिया है 💥
हर बार की वही स्क्रिप्ट, वही भारत-पाकिस्तान और हिंदू-मुस्लिम के इर्द-गिर्द घूमती हुई कहानी…देश की जनता अब और अधिक यह सब नहीं देखना चाहती
उसी का परिणाम है कि आज आवारापन 2 के लिए लोग लाइनों में लगे… pic.twitter.com/XrSWevoyl8

Batwara 1947 X Review
On the other hand, Batwara 1947 witnessed a mixed response from the audience. A user gave it a 2 star rating and wrote, “Too Much Shouting : Sunny Deol relies heavily on high-volume monologues and over-the-top melodrama, which feels exhausting. OutDated & Slow: The storyline feels stuck in the past, with a slow second half and predictable”. Another user tweeted, “#SunnyDeol ka emotional avatar #Batwara1947 mein genuinely unexpected laga. Unki aankhon ka pain aur dialogues ka impact dono next level hain. Rajkumar Santoshi ne character ko bahut depth di hai. Powerful cinema! #Batwara1947Review”

Partition ki kahani ko sirf history lesson nahi, ek family ke pain aur emotions ke through dikhana #Batwara1947 ki biggest strength hai. Film dekhte waqt 1947 ka impact aur zyada real feel hota hai. #Batwara1947Review

Review #Batwara1947 : ⭐️
Good story but old age film making of the 80s makes it a borefest. Avoid it.
Sunny Deol in muslim character is a misfit. Preity Zinta looks dull.
