Main Vaapas Aaunga Box Office Collection Day 1: Imtiaz Ali's Main Vaapas Aaunga arrived in cinemas on June 12, 2026, and generated considerable buzz among movie lovers. The period romantic drama featured Diljit Dosanjh, Sharvari, Vedang Raina, and Naseeruddin Shah in key roles. Set against the backdrop of the Partition of India, the film explored themes of love, loss, separation, and the longing to reunite with loved ones across borders. The story followed a man's emotional journey as he tried to fulfil the final wish of his ageing grandfather, who hoped to reconnect with the woman he had loved and lost during the Partition.

The narrative blended romance with historical trauma, showcasing the human cost of one of the most significant events in Indian history. Interestingly, Main Vaapas Aaunga also found itself in the middle of a major box-office clash with Kangana Ranaut's Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata. Several other Hindi films were released on the same date, making June 12 one of the most crowded release weekends of the year. Imtiaz Ali had stated that Main Vaapas Aaunga had announced its release date first, but the makers stayed confident despite the competition.

Meanwhile, Vedang Raina, in an interview with ETV Bharat, spoke about working with Imtiaz Ali and called it a dream come true moment. He stated, "I feel I am the luckiest person to get this opportunity. I remember that day when we had a meeting and he said this is the project we are looking at. He would like me to be part of this film. I just took five seconds to say - 'Yes, I am doing it'. I didn't know much about the film or the story. There was no script then, it was just an idea, a thought. All I needed to know was that Imtiaz Sir is directing the film and that was enough for me. I just hope I do justice to being part of his film".
