Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapas Aaunga earned a gross total of Rs 6.60 crore during its opening weekend in India. According to Sacnilk, the film recorded its highest single-day earnings on Sunday, collecting Rs 2.50 crore from 2155 shows, which represents a 74% increase from its Saturday collection of Rs 1.85 crore.
What were the daily box office collections for Main Vaapas Aaunga?
The period romance saw a steady upward trend throughout its first three days. After a slow start on Friday, where it earned Rs 1.15 crore, the film grew its audience on Saturday with a collection of Rs 1.85 crore from 2152 shows. Sunday’s jump to Rs 2.50 crore brought the total domestic gross to Rs 6.60 crore and the net collection to Rs 5.50 crore, according to Sacnilk.
How does the film’s performance compare to other recent releases?
Main Vaapas Aaunga outperformed several other romantic dramas released this year. It surpassed the opening weekend figures of Ek Din (Rs 2.50 crore), Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 (Rs 1 crore), Do Deewane Seher Mein (Rs 3.65 crore), and Tu Yaa Main (Rs 2.55 crore).
Among the Hindi releases from this past weekend, the film beat the net collections of Kangana Ranaut’s Bharat Bh Bhagya Viddhaata (Rs 4.25 crore) and Vipul Shah’s Governor (Rs 3.45 crore). However, it trailed behind Vikram Bhatt’s horror film Haunted 3D – Echoes of the Past, which led the weekend with Rs 9.35 crore.
The film remains significantly behind the year’s massive blockbusters. For comparison, the following films recorded much higher opening weekend figures:
- Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge: Rs 503 crore
- Border 2: Rs 129.89 crore
- Bhooth Bangla: Rs 54.50 crore
Why are the numbers lower than Imtiaz Ali’s previous hits?
The opening weekend for Main Vaapas Aaunga marks one of the lower starts for director Imtiaz Ali. His 2020 romantic drama Love Aaj Kal earned Rs 12 crore on its opening day alone. Similarly, Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017) earned over Rs 15 crore on its first day, roughly three times the total weekend collection of the current release.
Industry observations suggest that post-pandemic market dynamics have changed how smaller films perform at the box office. While the film stars Diljit Dosanjh, his recent involvement in the period war drama Border 2 saw a massive Rs 30 crore opening day. However, that film benefited from the presence of A-list stars Sunny Deol and Varun Dhawan, as well as the brand recognition of a cult sequel.
Who is in the cast of Main Vaapas Aaunga?
The film is headlined by Diljit Dosanjh and features Vedang Raina, Sharvari, and Naseeruddin Shah. The supporting cast includes Rajat Kapoor, Anjana Sukhani, Manish Chaudhary, Danish Pandor, Sanjay Suri, and Dolly Ahluwalia. The project was co-produced by Applause Entertainment and Imtiaz Ali’s Window Seat Films.
