Imtiaz Ali’s romantic drama Main Vaapas Aaunga continues to perform steadily at the Indian box office. The film collected an estimated Rs. 1 crore nett on its 4th Friday, taking its total India collection to approximately Rs. 50.20 crore after 22 days in theatres. The film maintained a stable run despite losing several cinema screens to new releases such as Alpha and Baby Do Die Do.
Starring Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, Vedang Raina and Sharvari, the film has continued to attract audiences through positive word of mouth. Although its screen count has reduced because of fresh releases, the movie has managed to hold its collections well. Based on current trends, the film is expected to earn around Rs. 5 crore to Rs. 6 crore during its 4th weekend. This would be around 50 percent lower than its previous weekend, but it would still be considered a steady performance for a film that has already completed more than 3 weeks in cinemas.
Trade observers believe the coming weeks will be important in deciding the film’s overall box office success. If it continues to maintain stable collections and shows good weekday performance, it could secure a Clean Hit verdict by the end of its theatrical run.
According to current box office trends, Main Vaapas Aaunga has the potential to finish its run with collections between Rs. 65 crore and Rs. 70 crore nett in India. This would be an impressive result for a film that opened with just Rs. 1 crore on its first day. The film’s gradual growth has drawn comparisons with 12th Fail, which also relied on strong audience appreciation and positive word of mouth to achieve long term success at the box office.
