Diljit Dosanjh's 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' crosses Rs 70 crore worldwide on Day 17, surpasses 'Jab We Met'

Main Vaapas Aaunga has crossed Rs 70 crore in worldwide box office collections on its 17th day of release, surpassing the lifetime earnings of Imtiaz Ali's own 2007 cult hit Jab We Met — a benchmark that carries emotional weight for fans of the filmmaker.

The film, directed by Imtiaz Ali and starring Diljit Dosanjh, has shown strong legs at the box office, defying the typical mid-week dip that afflicts most Bollywood releases. Crossing a milestone associated with one of Hindi cinema's most beloved films adds a layer of symbolic significance to what is already a solid commercial run.

For Diljit Dosanjh, the numbers further cement his standing as a frontline Bollywood star, following his runaway success on the concert circuit and a string of well-received film appearances. The collaboration with Imtiaz Ali — who had previously worked with stars like Ranbir Kapoor and Shah Rukh Khan — was itself seen as a vote of confidence in Dosanjh's mainstream appeal.

The film's trajectory will now be watched closely to see whether it can sustain collections through the coming weekend and push further toward the coveted Rs 100 crore mark globally.
