Pakistani filmmaker Umar Nasir Ali has expressed his admiration for Imtiaz Ali's latest release, Main Vaapas Aaunga, calling it a 'beautiful and deeply emotional film'. The film, which explores themes of love, loss, memory, migration, and belonging, has resonated with audiences and industry insiders in India, and has now gained praise from a Pakistani filmmaker.
Umar Nasir Ali took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the film, praising Imtiaz Ali's interpretation of the Partition chapter of history, as well as Naseeruddin Shah's performance and the editing by Aarti Bajaj.
The film, which stars Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, Sharvari, and Vedang Raina, took a slow start at the box office but has seen a boost in collections due to positive audience feedback. BookMyShow data indicates growing interest in the film, with several night shows in Delhi and Mumbai reporting limited seat availability.
Umar Nasir Ali also revealed that he is working on a project based on Partition, titled Chor Aaye Hum, which explores similar themes of memory, belonging, and return.
