Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali’s anticipated romantic drama Main Vaapas Aaunga finally hit theatres on June 12.
The cast includes Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, Vedang Raina and Sharvari and right off the bat, it got positive reviews from critics as well as the people.
Still, even with all that strong word of mouth and a nice reception, the overall excitement hasn’t really turned into solid box office numbers so far.
According to Sacnilk, Main Vaapas Aaunga earned ₹1.15 crore net in India on its first day. The film had 2,302 shows and an overall ratio is 11 percent. Its opening day collection was much lower than director Imtiaz previous film, Love Today Tomorrow 2 which earned ₹12.40 crore net on Day 1.
Now all eyes are on the weekend to see if positive reviews and good audience feedback can help increase the film’s earnings.
