Main Vaapas Aaunga completed its first week at the Indian box office with an estimated collection of Rs. 12.50 crore nett. The film added approximately Rs. 2.25 crore on Thursday, bringing its seven day total to a respectable figure despite a relatively low opening. While the overall collection may not appear very high compared to larger releases, the film’s performance trend has attracted attention. Unlike many films that experience a drop after the opening weekend, Main Vaapas Aaunga showed steady growth during the weekdays. In fact, the collection on the final day of the first week was nearly double what the film earned on its opening day. Such a trend is uncommon and suggests that the movie may be benefiting from positive word of mouth among audiences.
The film has also shown encouraging signs in overseas markets. Internationally, it has earned around USD 1 million after opening with approximately USD 125K on its first day. Although these figures are not extraordinary, the steady increase in collections indicates growing interest among viewers.
This upward movement gives the film an opportunity to perform better in the coming weeks. For that to happen, it will need to continue attracting audiences during the second weekend. Industry observers believe that if the film can reach around Rs. 4 to 5 crore nett on Sunday and maintain those levels afterward, it could improve its overall box office prospects significantly.
However, achieving that may not be easy. The film faces competition from Cocktail 2, which targets a similar audience segment. In addition, new releases arriving every week could make it more difficult for Main Vaapas Aaunga to maintain its momentum. Its future performance will depend largely on whether audience interest continues to grow despite these challenges.
Director Imtiaz Ali has built a loyal audience over the years and is known for creating films that appeal to a specific section of moviegoers. His films often feature popular music and receive decent initial attention. However, some of his recent projects struggled to maintain strong box office trends after release. In this case, the situation appears somewhat different. The film’s trend is positive, but the opening collections were relatively low, making recovery more challenging.
The day wise box office collections of Main Vaapas Aaunga in India are as follows:
Friday: Rs. 1.15 crore
Saturday: Rs. 1.85 crore
Sunday: Rs. 2.60 crore
Monday: Rs. 1.20 crore
Tuesday: Rs. 1.65 crore
Wednesday: Rs. 1.80 crore
Thursday: Rs. 2.25 crore
Total: Rs. 12.50 crore
Although the film still faces several hurdles, its consistent growth through the first week has provided a positive sign for the makers and industry observers. The coming weekend will be crucial in determining how far the film can go at the box office.
