On two weekends in August, the Schlüterhof becomes a meeting place for film enthusiasts from all over the world – with summery drinks and snacks.
The open-air festival presents six current cinema productions that are box office hits in their countries of origin but have not yet been shown on the big screen in Germany. Before the screenings, we invite you to thematic spotlights to get you in the mood – with prominent guests!
Over two weekends in August, the Box Office Around the World festival presents six current cinema productions that are audience successes and box office hits in their countries of origin, but have not yet been seen on the big screen in Germany.
Together with representatives of the Berlin communities from Thailand, Argentina, Nigeria, Vietnam, Brazil and India and the curator Dorothee Wenner, the films were selected and an accompanying programme developed. Before the open-air screenings, a thematic spotlight – with a star-studded line-up – will be directed at each film.
Batwara 1947 /Rajkumar Santoshi / India 2026 / historical drama
Hardly any other film is as eagerly anticipated in the current Indian cinema season as Batwara 1947—we’re presenting the film coinciding with its world premiere!
This period film, starring Bollywood superstars Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, and Shabana Azmi in the lead roles, is set in Lahore shortly after the country’s dramatic partition. A Muslim family flees there from Lucknow, India, and is allotted a beautiful estate in Lahore that once belonged to a displaced Hindu Punjabi family. But to their surprise, Mai—an elderly Hindu woman—shows up and insists that the haveli still belongs to her. The initially conflict-ridden coexistence between Mai and the new residents tells of the aftermath of the traumatic events of loss, displacement, and crime in 1947—and how individual people nevertheless managed to continue living together.
The film’s screenplay is based on the 1989 play *Jis Lahore Nai Vekhya, O Jamya E Nai* by Asghar Wajahat, which was banned in Pakistan. The title is taken from a proverb: “Whoever has not seen Lahore has not lived.” We are using it as the motto for the film talk prior the film’s screening.
