Preity Zinta has opened up about the box-office performance of her recently released film Batwara 1947, which featured her alongside Sunny Deol. Despite the expectations surrounding the historical drama, the film failed to make a strong impact at the box office.
Released in theatres around Independence Day, Batwara 1947 faced tough competition from Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2. The clash appears to have affected the film's theatrical run. Now, Preity Zinta has shared her thoughts on the movie's underwhelming box-office result and explained why she remains proud of the project.

Rajkumar Santoshi Directed the Film
Batwara 1947 was directed by acclaimed filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi. The historical drama featured Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta in prominent roles and was backed by Aamir Khan's production house.
The film generated interest because of its subject matter, star cast and the reunion of Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta. However, its theatrical performance remained below expectations, particularly amid competition from other major releases.
For Preity, though, the box-office numbers do not take away from the effort and experience associated with the film.
