The box office script has officially flipped! In a stunning 19-year reversal, Emraan Hashmi’s *Awarapan 2* crushed Sunny Deol’s *Batwara 1947* with a massive Rs 22.5 crore opening. This marks a brutal turnaround from their 2007 clash, where Deol dominated with *Apne*. History repeats in strange ways, but this time, the underdog has become the ultimate cinematic king of the charts.
