Along
with
Akshay
Kumar's
'Mission
Mangal',
this
Independence
Day
also
saw
the
release
of
John
Abraham's
thriller,
'Batla
House'.
The
film
is
based
on
the
controversial
Batla
House
encounter
which
took
place
in
Delhi
in
2008.
John's
role
in
the
film
is
inspired
by
ACP
Sanjeev
Kumar
Yadav,
who
was
a
real
life
key
figure
in
the
Delhi
Police's
special
cell.
Speaking
about
the
first-day
box
office
collections,
the
John
Abraham
collected
Rs
14.
59
crores
on
its
first
day
of
release.
Reportedly,
there
was
a
loss
of
revenue
at
some
centres
due
to
logistical
challenges
in
delivering
the
film
content
with
suggested
changes
as
per
Honorable
Court.

fake

real.

"#BatlaHouse
Praise
worthy
that
a
movie
has
bn
made
reflecting
upon
trauma
of
Police
due
to
witch
huting
at
the
hands
of
'activists
for
hire'
for
doing
their
job.
It
also
rightly
shows
how
Politicians
influence
genuine
investigations
to
save
their
'image'
&
drive
benefit!
Do
watch."

have
closely
followed
the
case

what
astonished

the
most
is

every
side
of
the
story
without
displaying
any
bias
was
commendable!

perfection.
