Main Vaapas Aaunga Box Office Collection Day 5: Imtiaz Ali’s Tragic Romance Surpasses ₹8 Cr Globally

Director Imtiaz Ali’s deeply emotional Partition-era romantic drama, ‘Main Vaapas Aaunga,’ is maintaining a steady pace through its initial weekday trial. Following an opening weekend that brought in ₹5.63 crore net across Indian theatres, the film faced the crucial Monday test with a standard weekday drop, adding roughly ₹1.15 crore to its tally. By the conclusion of its fifth day on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, the sweeping romance anchored by stellar performances from Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, Vedang Raina, and Sharvari successfully pushed its domestic gross collections past the ₹8 crore milestone. While the film faces intense box office competition from Vikram Bhatt's horror rival Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past, Main Vaapas Aaunga continues to attract a dedicated audience of cinephiles and romance loyalists, driven entirely by glowing critical acclaim for its heartfelt narrative and A. R. Rahman's hauntingly beautiful background score.
