Main Vaapas Aaunga box office collection day 3 prediction
The Diljit Dosanjh and Sharvari starrer is expected to see a rise in occupancy on Sunday, benefiting from the weekend holiday. “As of now day 3, Main Vaapas Aaunga is currently running across 404 shows and has collected a net of Rs 0.05 crore with a total India net of Rs 3.05 crore”, according to Sacnilk. Based on current trends, the film is expected to earn around Rs 2 to 3 crore net on day 3. If the estimates hold, the opening weekend total could cross Rs 5 crore net at the box office. Main Vaapas Aaunga is expected to see positive weekend growth while improving occupancy levels across regions.
While the upward trend is a positive sign, the film still faces the challenge of sustaining collections during the weekdays. The real test will begin on Monday when numbers usually witness a drop. A steady weekday performance will be crucial for the film’s long-term box office.
