Key Facts
Imtiaz Ali's romantic drama Main Vaapas Aaunga has shown remarkable resilience at the box office, earning more on its second Monday than on its first. The film collected Rs 2.5 crore on June 22, compared to Rs 1.15 crore on its opening Monday, according to industry tracker SCREEN.
Box Office Performance
The film's second weekend was strong, with over Rs 10 crore in domestic earnings. On its 11th day, the movie benefited from increased screen count—from 1,971 on Sunday to 2,631 on Monday—and higher occupancy rates. Despite a 56.5% drop from Sunday's Rs 5.75 crore, the Monday figure is impressive given the usual weekday decline.

Critical Reception
SCREEN's Shubhra Gupta praised Naseeruddin Shah's performance, stating, "This film doesn't belong to Diljit Dosanjh, but to Naseeruddin Shah's superbly-judged performance, high-pitched yet never quite tipping into grating melodrama."
Director's Reaction
Imtiaz Ali expressed gratitude for the audience response, saying, "Pehle jis din Friday ko film release hui thi, aur aaj ek hafte baad phir Friday hai, toh collection pehle Friday se shayad double hai... Overwhelming feeling hai, bahut khushi ki baat hai."
