Key facts
- Rs 41 crore collected by day 10
- Box office earnings are 5x the opening day figure
- Directed by Imtiaz Ali
Imtiaz Ali's Main Vaapas Aaunga has crossed Rs 41 crore at the box office by its tenth day in cinemas, having earned five times what it made on its opening day — a trajectory that studios and distributors consider a strong indicator of genuine audience approval.
The multiplier of 5x over the opening day figure is particularly significant in an era when big-budget Hindi films typically front-load their earnings on opening weekends driven by paid previews and fan shows. Main Vaapas Aaunga's curve runs in the opposite direction, suggesting that early audiences recommended it widely enough to pull in new viewers well into its second week.
The Rs 41 crore total, reported by The Indian Express on day ten, places the film comfortably in profitable territory for a mid-budget Bollywood release. Imtiaz Ali, known for films like Jab We Met, Love Aaj Kal and Tamasha, has had an uneven box-office record in recent years, making this sustained run a meaningful rebound for the director.
With the second weekend still playing out, trade analysts will be watching whether the film can extend its run further or whether the curve flattens. Either way, the day-ten number already makes Main Vaapas Aaunga one of the steadier Hindi theatrical performers of 2025 so far.
