The latest projection is significantly higher than earlier estimates of Rs 12–15 crore and could give Emraan Hashmi his biggest solo opening.
The emotional connect of the original film, combined with music and nostalgia, appears to be driving the early box office buzz.
In an ineraction with CNBC TV18, veteran trade analyst Komal Nahta said, “From advance booking status, it appears that the start of Awarapan 2 will be better. And understandably so because its trailer and songs have been liked by the youth; and youngsters are the first-day audience. Batwara 1947 will have to rely heavily on two factors to grow: word of mouth and older audience.”
