Main Vaapas Aaunga, starring Naseeruddin Shah, Diljit Dosanjh, Vedang Raina, and Sharvari, recorded a modest opening weekend at the Indian box office. The film collected Rs. 2.50 crore on Day 3, Sunday, taking its total first weekend collection to Rs. 5.50 crore nett.
Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the romantic drama has received positive feedback from many critics and sections of the audience. However, the favorable response has not translated into strong box office numbers so far. Despite appreciation for its storytelling and performances, the film has struggled to attract large audiences during its opening weekend.
From a creative and critical perspective, the film has been viewed positively. However, its commercial performance has remained below expectations. The opening weekend collections indicate that the movie faces a challenging road ahead if it hopes to improve its box office standing in the coming days.
What has drawn attention is the film’s performance compared to its competitor, Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past. Despite receiving weaker audience feedback, the rival release managed to perform better at the box office. According to estimates, Main Vaapas Aaunga remained nearly 35 per cent behind Haunted 3D: Echoes Of The Past during the opening weekend. This outcome highlights the unpredictable nature of the box office, where critical appreciation does not always result in higher ticket sales.
Based on the current trend, the film is expected to complete its theatrical run below the Rs. 10 crore nett mark in India unless it witnesses a significant increase in collections over the coming days. The weekdays will play an important role in determining whether the film can maintain momentum and attract a larger audience through positive word of mouth.
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. 2.50 crore
Total: Rs. 5.50 crore
While the film has earned praise for its performances and storytelling, its box office journey remains uncertain. Industry observers will closely watch its performance during the weekdays to see whether positive reviews can help improve collections.
For now, Main Vaapas Aaunga has completed its first weekend with Rs. 5.50 crore nett and faces the challenge of sustaining audience interest in the days ahead.
