Main Vaapas Aaunga Box Office Collection: The Imtiaz Ali directorial has dominated social media discourse ever since its release on June 12. The movie released in a clash with several other movies such as Haunted 3D, Bharat Bhagya Vidhata and Hollywood’s Disclosure Day. After a week of theatrical run, the movie is now facing competition from Cocktail 2, which was released on June 19.

As per Sacnilk, after an 8-day theatrical run, the movie has amassed a total of ₹14.15 crore. Cocktail 2, on the other hand, has opened to over ₹13 crore.
