‘Main Vaapas Aaunga is an act of rebellion,’ says Mahesh Bhatt, compares it to Arth, Zakhm | Bollywood News
Imtiaz Ali’s Partition-era romance Main Vaapas Aaunga has slowly and steadily carved out its own place at the box office. The film continues to draw audiences in strong numbers, making its mark at a time when only tentpole spectacles are often believed to have the scale and longevity to survive in theatres. Along with audience appreciation, the film has also been receiving praise from industry insiders. The latest to celebrate the film is Mahesh Bhatt, who penned a heartfelt note for Imtiaz Ali. Writing for Variety India, Bhatt shared a note titled “On Thirst and Main Vaapas Aaunga.” He began by saying that while some films arrive with great fanfare, others quietly leave a lasting impact. “There are films that arrive with drums and trumpets, announcing themselves like conquerors. And there are films that arrive quietly, carrying only the fragile cargo of a human heart. Main Vaapas Aaunga belongs to the latter category.” ALSO READ | Salman Khan to leave Galaxy after 52 years, gets approval for new 6-storey home: report He described the film …
