Main Vaapas Aaunga, starring Naseeruddin Shah, Diljit Dosanjh, Sharvari, and Vedang Raina, recorded a collection of Rs. 1.65 crore nett on its first Tuesday at the Indian box office. The film saw a 50 per cent increase in collections compared to Monday, largely due to discounted ticket prices that encouraged more people to visit cinemas.
Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the romantic period drama has now collected a total of Rs. 8.40 crore nett in its first 5 days of release. While the film opened on a modest note, its recent performance suggests slightly better audience support than what early box office numbers had indicated during the first two days.
Industry estimates suggest that Main Vaapas Aaunga could finish its first week with collections close to Rs. 10 crore nett. Interestingly, this figure was initially considered to be the film’s likely lifetime target based on its opening performance. However, the movie has managed to maintain steadier trends over the following days, helping improve expectations to some extent.
Despite the positive movement, the film still faces significant challenges in the coming days. For a long and successful theatrical run, it will need a much stronger response from audiences. At present, there is no clear indication that such a major jump in collections is likely. The film’s future performance will depend on whether it can continue attracting viewers beyond its first week.
The situation may become more difficult from the upcoming weekend when several new releases are scheduled to arrive in theaters. Among them is Cocktail 2, along with other films that could compete for audience attention and screen space. As a result, Main Vaapas Aaunga will need to hold its collections well to remain competitive at the box office.
The movie’s performance over the next few weeks will determine whether it can achieve a respectable theatrical run. While the current numbers are not exceptional, the film has shown enough stability to keep industry observers interested in its progress.
The day wise box office collections of Main Vaapas Aaunga are as follows:
Day 1: Rs. 1.15 crore
Day 2: Rs. 1.85 crore
Day 3: Rs. 2.65 crore
Day 4: Rs. 1.10 crore
Day 5: Rs. 1.65 crore
Total: Rs. 8.40 crore nett
The coming weekend is expected to be an important test for the film as it competes with fresh releases and attempts to maintain its momentum at the box office.
