Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2 on the other hand hit a century. It has just breached the ₹130 cr mark with ₹132.14 cr and is likely to add to its tally until the release of Yash’s Toxic.

Last week in Mumbai, some apostles of peace from various faiths gathered to praise filmmakers, Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Santoshi for Batwara 1947.

They chorused that this Sunny Deol starrer that preaches religious tolerance and secularism is the need of the war-hour. However, their speech came too late in the day and fell on deaf ears. Batwara 1947 has sunk; it’s lying like the Titanic at the bottom of the three oceans surrounding India. Since it’s release on August 14, this partition-drama has managed a disastrous collection of ₹34.77 cr. Sad but true, that even a film that has its heart in the right place, may not necessarily get public patronage.

Awarapan 2 puts Emraan back on the hit map

Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2 on the other hand hit a century. It has just breached the ₹130 cr mark with ₹132.14 cr and is likely to add to its tally until the release of Yash’s Toxic. This is Emraan’s entry into the prestigious ₹100-cr club and suddenly the Phoenix has risen from the ashes of several mid-level box-office performers.
