Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Main Vaapas Aaunga’ Achieves Rs 50 Crore Global Box Office Milestone
Imtiaz Ali’s latest film, ‘Main Vaapas Aaunga,’ starring Diljit Dosanjh, has achieved a significant milestone by crossing Rs 50 crore at the worldwide box office in just 13 days. This achievement was driven by strong positive word of mouth, indicating that audience satisfaction is a powerful force in today’s film industry. The movie’s success demonstrates that steady audience interest and organic recommendations can lead to substantial box office numbers, even without a massive opening weekend.
On its 13th day, the film earned an estimated Rs 2.60 crore net in India, pushing its global total past the Rs 50 crore mark. Some reports indicate the figure is slightly higher, around Rs 51 crore. The film had been nearing this milestone since Day 12, highlighting its consistent performance. The steady audience turnout on a weekday after two weekends was crucial in reaching this significant box office achievement.

It serves as a prime example of how content-driven cinema can find and grow its audience over time, even in a competitive market. This trajectory is increasingly rare and makes the milestone particularly noteworthy for the film’s team.
