Main Vaapas Aaunga is a story of love, longing, and belonging set against the backdrop of Partition-era migration. It explores memory, nostalgia, and deep emotional connections to home and loved ones
Last Friday may not have seen packed theatres that we usually see at the movies during festivals or big films, two out of the three films grew gradually at the box-office. The three films that we are talking about are Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapas Aaunga, Vikram Bhatt’s Haunted 3D, and Manoj Bajpayee’s Governor.
Ali’s film may have started slow but picked up pace as days passed by due to positive word of mouth as fans on social media can’t stop praising the filmmaker for the love story he has crafted. The film minted Rs 1.75 crore across 2,056 shows on Day 6. Vikram Bhatt’s horror film started being miles ahead of the other two releases and is still steady with Rs 1.40 crore on Wednesday. Governor collected Rs 33 lacs on Thursday.
Main Vaapas Aaunga is a story of love, longing, and belonging set against the backdrop of Partition-era migration. It explores memory, nostalgia, and deep emotional connections to home and loved ones, showing how the past shapes identity and sustains the human spirit across generations.
About ‘Main Vaapas Aaunga’
Based on the India-Pakistan partition, Main Vaapas Aaunga has an old-world charm, and every minute detail has been taken care of, including the costumes, furniture, and the breathtaking landscape of Sargodha in Pakistan. The place offers a blend of colonial history and agricultural landscapes and beautiful homes with spiral staircases. It is indeed a poignant film, and there are many who can relate to it, just the way I can because we have heard heart-wrenching stories from our grandparents on partition.
