Main Vaapas Aaunga, the emotional drama by Imtiaz Ali, has been trending at the box office after a modest opening. However, the film showed healthy signs of progress after the initial slow start with word of mouth. The film stars Naseeruddin Shah, Diljit Dosanjh and Vedang Raina. The film revolves around a grandpa who is 95 years old and his memories from the time before Partition. Recently, the film collected Rs 1.50 crore on Friday. That means the film’s total earnings on its 5th day stood at Rs 1.15 crore on Monday.
Main Vaapas Aaunga Film Moves Closer To The ₹10 Crore Milestone At The Box Office
Main Vaapas Aaunga’s journey at the box office continues on a positive note, thanks to its strong performance on Tuesday. The film’s India total gross collection is ₹9.75 crore, which means it is now just an inch away from reaching the ₹10 crore benchmark. Joining forces with the fact that there were larger releases in theatres too, this is an impressive feat for the film. The fact that people are coming to theatres even on weekdays indicates that the movie is not just receiving good word of mouth but has also attracted people who haven’t yet gone to theatres over the weekend.
Strong Word Of Mouth Helps Sustain Audience Interest
The film’s strong mid-week hold is being buoyed by word of mouth, with viewers who’ve seen the film claiming its emotional storytelling, prompting many to go to theatres. This word-of-mouth is paying dividends in terms of the occupancy rates of the film at as many stations as Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru and in the evening and night shows. Even with such a low opening, the film’s content and support from the audience are supporting its growth.
Weekday Collections Show Encouraging Upward Trend
Unlike most movies that witnessed a drop in collections after the rush of the opening weekend, Main Vaapas Aaunga registered an increase in collections on Tuesday, breaking the usual Monday dip. The movie has some real appeal outside the weekend audience.
Can ‘Main Vaapas Aaunga’ Maintain Its Momentum In The Coming Days?
As Main Vaapas Aaunga approaches the end of its first week, the next query is whether the film can sustain its current momentum in the days to come. It must go strong till Thursday to retain most of its screens before the offensive of new releases arrives in the theatres on Friday. Imtiaz Ali’s partition film is expected to bounce back into a strong second week and to return a greater theatrical success.
