About Main Vaapas Aaunga

Directed by Imtiaz Ali, Main Vaapas Aaunga is a period romantic drama starring Sharvari, Naseeruddin Shah, and Vedang Raina. The film is set against the backdrop of the 1947 Partition of India and explores themes of love, separation, migration, and memory. The narrative is expected to follow a romantic relationship shaped and disrupted by historical upheaval, a recurring motif in Partition-era storytelling.

The film also reunites Imtiaz with A. R. Rahman and his frequent collaborator, lyricist Irshad Kamil. The film also stars Dolly Ahluwalia, Manish Chaudhari, Rajat Kapoor, Anjana Sukhani, Sanjay Suri, Danish Pandor, and Banita Sandhu among several others.

Despite rave reviews, the film is having a modest run at the box office. Commenting on it, Imtiaz Ali told HT City, "We are not a star-driven film, so this film was supposed to be like this. It couldn't have opened big. If it is good, people will go and tell other people to watch it, and that's the only way this film is going to progress. Hopefully, it will continue to grow and strengthen itself."
