Imtiaz Ali's Main Vaapas Aaunga has struck an emotional chord with audiences, with several videos of teary-eyed moviegoers going viral online.
A man who broke down while meeting the filmmaker and actor Vedang Raina has reacted to allegations that he was paid to cry for promotion.
The man, Dushyant Arora, a lawyer and columnist, took to X to clarify that he wasn't hired and shared an emotional backstory behind his tears.
He revealed that his grandmother had passed away recently and the film's portrayal of a grandparent with Alzheimer's resonated deeply with him.
Main Vaapas Aaunga, set against the backdrop of the Partition of India, explores themes of love, loss, memory, migration and belonging, drawing inspiration from real-life accounts of people affected by the 1947 Partition.
