Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapas Aaunga is quietly turning into one of the more interesting box office stories of the season. After beginning its run on a modest note, the romantic drama has continued to show remarkable staying power, and its latest daily number has pushed it to the edge of a new milestone in India.
On its third Thursday, the film collected Rs 1.20 crore nett, taking its third-week total to Rs 15.75 crore nett. Added to its first week of Rs 12.40 crore and second week of Rs 22.35 crore, Main Vaapas Aaunga now stands at Rs 50.50 crore nett in India after 21 days. For a film that opened at around Rs 1 crore on day one, that trajectory has made its theatrical run especially noteworthy.
Main Vaapas Aaunga Holds Firm In Week Three
The strongest takeaway from the film’s third week is its consistency. Main Vaapas Aaunga dropped just 25 per cent from the previous week while sharing shows with Welcome To The Jungle, a hold that underlines the strength of its word of mouth. It has now entered its fourth week with momentum still on its side, even as Alpha arrives as fresh competition at the box office.
The third-week trend reflects that steady performance. The film earned Rs 2.65 crore on Friday, Rs 4.10 crore on Saturday, Rs 4.25 crore on Sunday, Rs 1.25 crore on Monday, Rs 1.65 crore on Tuesday, Rs 1.25 crore on Wednesday, and Rs 1.10 crore on Thursday. That kind of week-on-week stability is not easy to achieve in the current theatrical climate, particularly for a romance-driven film relying more on audience approval than front-loaded opening numbers.

Main Vaapas Aaunga Cast, Crew And Story Setup
Released on June 12, 2026, Main Vaapas Aaunga is a Hindi romantic drama directed by Imtiaz Ali and written by Ali with Nayanika Mahtani. The film stars Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, Sharvari, and Vedang Raina, with Banita Sandhu, Rajat Kapoor, Sanjay Suri, Anjana Sukhani, and Danish Pandor in supporting roles. It was produced by Applause Entertainment, Birla Studios, and Window Seat Films, with music by A.R. Rahman.
The film unfolds as a period romance shaped by love, longing, and displacement, with the emotional scars of Partition forming an important backdrop. That mix of intimate storytelling and historical memory appears to have helped the film connect with audiences well beyond its opening week, giving it the kind of gradual theatrical rise that has become increasingly uncommon.
