MAIN VAAPAS AAUNGA is proving to be a HIT film in East Punjab as it catches the collections of a big new release like COCKTAIL 2 in just four days after its release. On Monday, COCKTAIL 2 has grossed around 53 lakhs nett while MAIN VAAPAS AAUNGA is 47 lakhs nett. On Tuesday, its likely that MAIN VAAPAS AAUNGA will be same or more than COCKTAIL 2 and East Punjab is one of the better performing circuits for the romcom.

MAIN VAAPAS AAUNGA has that Punjabi flavour with partition relatability which means it is scoring excellent numbers in Gurgaon and the bigger centres of Punjab state. The film is sure to hit double digits in the circuit and could even challenge the collections of BHOOTH BANGLA in the circuit which is a 165 crore nett plus film across India.

This is not to say that MAIN VAAPAS AAUNGA is a HIT and COCKTAIL 2 is a FLOP as the economics are all wrong for the former. Despite this huge appreciation in parts of the country, it will turn out to be a heavy loser unless this mini miracle spreads out and becomes a real miracle. It has to become a mini MAHAVATAR NARSIMHA in terms of box office collections to get somewhere.

Putting East Punjab aside and at an all India level, COCKTAIL 2, which actually does not have much appreciation, is actually standing in a better position simply because of the opening weekend. It again shows the importance of getting figures up on the first weekend especially if you have a cost associated for a film. Its basically a MUST for films with a budget.

-----------------------------------------

MAIN VAAPAS AAUNGA did very well in the second week collecting around 20 crore nett which is almost double of the first week and is now standing at a total of 31 crore nett. The film has seen an excellent trajectory after the first weekend and has found solid appreciation with the gentry audience especially in NCR and Punjab. 

Despite the break out it will still be a big loser in terms of recovery as it it needed to break out from higher initial numbers. Here the film actually might do 60-65 crore nett or even more which is a HIT number for the content and face value of the film but not for the budget of the film.

-----------------------------------------

MAIN VAAPAS AAUNGA continues its steady run as it collected 10.50 crore nett which is a little less than the second weekend but is still almost as much as the FIRST WEEK. The trend for the film is outstanding and its a good break out considering the opening day collections. In fact, the break out would have looked outstanding as well in the pre pandemic days but after what has happened to films like THE KASHMIR FILES and MAHAVATAR NARSIMHA is that they bought in the trends of the pre multiplex era and shown the levels you can go to with hardly any start. This used to happen many times in the 80's and 90's.

The film is a HIT in East Punjab and NCR while Mysore is also good but the rest are on the lower side. 

The collections of the film till date are as follows. 

Friday - 2,65,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 3,85,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 4,00,00,000 apprx
