Cast

This is Sunny and Karan Deol’s first film together on a Partition story, alongside Shabana Azmi and Ali Fazal in key supporting roles.

Director

Rajkumar Santoshi directs — his first collaboration with Sunny Deol since Ghayal and Ghatak. The film was originally titled Lahore 1947 before being renamed to avoid political controversy, and it’s adapted from Asghar Wajahat’s stage play Jis Lahore Nai Vekhya, O Jamya E Nai.

Story

Set during India’s 1947 Partition, Batwara 1947 centres on a Hindu woman who refuses to leave her house after a Muslim family moves in — and the fragile, complicated bond that forms between them as the country breaks apart around them. The film’s tagline says it plainly: “Har insaan ka pehla mazhab MAA hai” — every person’s first religion is their mother.

Where to Book Tickets

Batwara 1947 tickets for Barcelona, Terrassa and Mataró can be booked through Filmax Gran Via 2, Cinesa Diagonal Mar, Cinesa Parc de Vallès and Kinepolis Mataró Parc directly, or via their respective cinema-chain websites (Filmax, Cinesa, Kinepolis). The same applies across the other confirmed cities — Cinesa, Yelmo and Kinepolis all run online booking, and most listed cinemas also sell tickets at the box office.

Final Thoughts

Batwara 1947 isn’t a festive Independence Day watch — it’s Sunny Deol and Rajkumar Santoshi going back to one of Indian history’s rawest chapters, backed by Aamir Khan and scored by A.R. Rahman. It’s now confirmed across a genuinely wide stretch of Spain: Barcelona, Terrassa and Mataró in Catalunya, Madrid, Valencia, Mallorca, Malaga, Marbella, the Canary Islands, Murcia and Torrevieja. For Barcelona’s Indian community specifically, this is one of the widest Hindi theatrical releases the city has seen in a while — two cinemas, seven days straight.
