Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapas Aaunga released in theatres on June 12 with positive reviews. However, due to limited screens amid a multi-film clash, the movie took a decent and slow start at the box office. While the pre-Partition love story was predicted to end up with a ‘flop’ title, the tables turned, and suddenly, strong word of mouth encouraged people to book tickets and watch it in theatres. Due to positive social media buzz and unprecedented support from the audience, Main Vaapas Aaunga saw a surprising and encouraging growth in the second week.
