The romantic drama 'Main Wapas Aaunga' by film director Imtiaz Ali is preparing for release on streaming platforms. Viewers who could not watch the film in theaters can now expect to watch it at home. According to the official Netflix India account, the premiere of the film is scheduled for August 7.
The description accompanying the Instagram post stated: 'A story that remained unfinished 78 years ago will now be completed! Watch 'Main Wapas Aaunga' on Netflix on August 7!'
The film, directed by Imtiaz Ali, tells the story of a 95-year-old man who begins reliving memories after suffering a severe stroke while attempting to travel to Pakistan. His grandson tries to piece together fragmented memories from before the partition, while the elderly man himself struggles to find peace in his final days. The movie explores the impact that borders have had on people long after they were established.
Although the film was released in theaters in June and received positive reviews, its initial box office collection was modest. Nevertheless, no one could predict the impressive return of this film by Imtiaz Ali in theaters, making it one of the most talked-about success stories of the year.
In a statement made by producer Mohit Choudhary to the news agency PTI, it was said that the film recouped its costs thanks to revenues both in theaters and outside of them, becoming a commercial hit. He emphasized that the success of 'Main Wapas Aaunga' is a result of audience love, and positive word-of-mouth reviews contribute to the film's promotion, which continues to run in theaters for over 50 days.
According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the film 'Main Wapas Aaunga' directed by Imtiaz Ali and starring Diljit Dosanjh earned approximately 98.11 crore rupees worldwide. Of this amount, about 77.66 crore rupees came from the domestic Indian market, and 20.45 crore rupees from the international market. The film, created with a budget of 70 crore rupees, proved profitable thanks to a strong deal for digital and OTT rights after its release.
