Preity Zinta reflected on Batwara 1947's box office performance after its theatrical run. She stated actors control effort, not box office outcomes, believing in karma. The film, reuniting Sunny Deol and Rajkumar Santoshi, had a mixed opening weekend. Batwara 1947 faced competition from Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 upon release. Zinta now prepares for Kunal Kemmu's Vibe, playing an undercover agent.
