Main Vaapas Aaunga Crosses Rs 70 Crore Worldwide as Third‑Week Sales Rise

Strong audience word of mouth pushed demand in multiplexes and northern circuits, bringing the Imtiaz Ali drama closer to recouping its reported Rs 70 crore budget.

Overview

  • By Day 17 (June 29) trade estimates put Main Vaapas Aaunga at about Rs 70.88 crore worldwide with roughly Rs 46.3 crore domestic net and about Rs 55.2 crore domestic gross.
  • The film posted an uncommon box-office rebound with Week 2 roughly 72% higher than Week 1 and PVR INOX plus Cinepolis combined collections rising about 89.8% in Week 2.
  • Third-week daily gains continued as the third Friday earned about Rs 2.8–2.85 crore and the third Saturday about Rs 4.07–4.25 crore, figures that beat the film’s earlier Fridays and matched or exceeded same-stage numbers for Cocktail 2.
  • Lead actors Sharvari and Vedang Raina attended public screenings and publicly thanked fans, and industry trackers say that positive audience reaction drove higher screen counts and footfall.
  • With the film closing in on budget recovery, the next commercial tests are weekday holds under new release pressure and its eventual Netflix streaming window, which will determine whether it converts momentum into a clear theatrical hit.
