Acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kapur has taken note of Imtiaz Ali's film Main Vaapas Aaunga's strong resurgence in theatres. The film, which initially minted ₹1.15 Cr, has seen a 130% jump in its second week, despite competition from Cocktail 2. The film made ₹1.90 Cr on its second Friday, higher than its opening day collection, and earned ₹5.75 Cr on Sunday.
Shekhar Kapur praised Imtiaz Ali on X, saying, 'Thank you Imtiaz Ali. With your film Main Wapaas Aaunga , you busted the myth that the first week box office defines the future of your film. You proved what counts is a great story well told.. What counts is respect for your audiences.'
Main Vaapas Aaunga, starring Nasseruddin Shah, Sharvari, Vedang Raina, and Diljit Dosnajh, has received positive reviews, with HT City's Rishabh Suri giving it 3.5 stars. The film's music is given by AR Rahman.
