Main Vaapas Aaunga Box Office Collection Day 10: Imtiaz Ali Film Sees Solid Jump After Extra Demand, Makes ₹24 Crore

The power of positive word of mouth is currently playing out beautifully at the Indian box office as director Imtiaz Ali’s highly discussed emotional drama, Main Vaapas Aaunga, shows an incredible growth trajectory. Starring a powerhouse ensemble cast including Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, Sharvari, and Vedang Raina, the film initially opened to rather modest numbers. However, intense appreciation on social media and glowing reviews from critics have entirely flipped the script for this poignant narrative centered on the deep human cost of the 1947 Partition. Theatre owners have had to rapidly add extra shows across major circuits to fulfill the massive surge in audience demand over its second weekend.

Trade trackers have revealed that Main Vaapas Aaunga hit a brand new high on its second Sunday by registering its single-day record haul since its theatrical debut. The film collected an impressive ₹5.75 crore on day ten, which stands out significantly when compared to its opening Sunday collection of ₹2.50 crore. This massive weekend push has allowed the film to successfully cross the ₹24 crore milestone, with net collections standing at ₹24.25 crore and total domestic gross collections reaching ₹29 crore. The remarkable momentum became highly evident on its second Saturday when the film experienced a colossal 130 percent jump from the preceding Friday, followed by an additional 32.2 percent day-on-day growth on Sunday.

What makes this financial turnaround particularly remarkable is that the Imtiaz Ali directorial is pulling off these numbers despite facing fierce competition in theatres. The film shares marquee space with the freshly released star-studded romantic comedy Cocktail 2, featuring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, which has also been performing very strongly. Industry leaders note that the steady week-on-week build is a rare and highly encouraging trend for exhibitors because it shows long-term audience interest rather than a front-loaded, hype-driven opening weekend. This steady success is being credited to the deep emotional resonance of the storytelling, the magnificent performances by Naseeruddin Shah and the younger cast, and a brilliant, atmospheric musical score by AR Rahman.
