Main Vaapas Aaunga box office collection day 10: check day-wise earnings
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the film recorded its highest single-day collection on its second Sunday, earning about Rs 5.75 crore in India. This took its total India gross to around Rs 29 crore and its India net to about Rs 24.25 crore by day 10, a remarkable jump from its modest opening weekend. The film has also done well overseas, helping push its worldwide gross beyond Rs 40 crore within the same period.
How is Main Vaapas Aaunga performing at the box office?
What makes this performance notable is the trend rather than just the totals. The film posted about a 130% jump on its second Saturday compared to Friday, and then added another 32.2% growth on Sunday, a pattern that exhibitors see as a sign of genuine audience appreciation rather than hype-driven, front-loaded collections.
Multiplex chains have responded by increasing the number of shows in several markets to meet demand, even though Cocktail 2, starring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, is also doing well at the box office.
Is Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapas Aaunga getting enough screenings?
PVR INOX’s revenue and operations head Gautam Dutta has said that the film’s steady rise shows “sustained audience interest”, driven by strong word of mouth around Imtiaz Ali’s storytelling, Naseeruddin Shah’s performance, and AR Rahman’s music, rather than aggressive marketing.
Viewers and critics have particularly connected with the film’s plot, which follows a 95-year-old man desperate to reach Pakistan after suffering a stroke, while his grandson pieces together a buried pre-Partition love story and the lingering wounds of displacement.
In an era dominated by front-loaded openings and big-budget spectacles, Main Vaapas Aaunga stands out as a rare example of a film that grows slowly but strongly, powered by content, emotion, and audience trust.
