Overview
- Trade tracker Sacnilk reports the film earned Rs 4.35 crore net on its ninth day (second Saturday), a roughly 128.9–129% rise from its Day 8 collection of Rs 1.90 crore.
- The second‑Saturday spike pushed domestic net totals to about Rs 18.5 crore and lifted the worldwide gross past the Rs 32 crore mark, with outlets citing a global figure near Rs 32.8–32.9 crore.
- Major exhibitors including PVR INOX and Cinepolis increased screenings in week two in response to higher demand, with some circuits reporting a roughly 30% rise in shows and individual cinemas doubling show counts.
- The film had lost screens after the June 19 opening of Cocktail 2, with some reports of roughly 50% reductions, but audience turnout for Main Vaapas Aaunga in the second weekend prompted exhibitors to restore and add slots.
- Director Imtiaz Ali credited strong word-of-mouth for the turnaround after visiting theatres, and industry coverage says the film’s short-term profitability now hinges on sustaining weekday attendance and continued exhibitor support.
