Entertainment
Imtiaz Ali's new film, Main Vaapas Aaunga, started slow after its June 12 release but has picked up serious momentum thanks to strong word-of-mouth.
Even with big competition from Cocktail 2 and Welcome To The Jungle, this pre-Partition love story is surprising everyone and could soon be called a clean hit.
'Main Vaapas Aaunga' box office ₹42.85cr
The movie made ₹12.25 crore in its first week, then the cumulative total jumped to ₹22.55 crore after its second week as more people started talking about it.
By its third Saturday, total earnings hit ₹42.85 crore, well on its way toward covering the ₹70 crore budget if this pace keeps up.
