Acclaimed director Imtiaz Ali’s deeply moving Partition-era romantic drama, Main Vaapas Aaunga, continues to demonstrate commendable resilience through its first crucial week at the domestic box office. Anchored by powerhouse performances from Diljit Dosanjh, Vedang Raina, and Sharvari, the film passed its first Wednesday test with a steady hold, drawing a dedicated audience of cinephiles and romance loyalists despite stiff competition from surrounding releases. By the conclusion of its sixth day on June 17, 2026, the sweeping musical romance successfully crossed the ₹8 crore net milestone within India. Driven by rave reviews for its poetic storytelling and A. R. Rahman’s hauntingly soulful background score, the movie is capitalising on exceptionally strong word-of-mouth in multiplexes, proving that classical, emotionally driven Indian cinema still holds a powerful pull at the ticket windows.
