YOU ASKED IT | 22 May, 2026

Will Main Vaapas Aaunga take a good start on 12th June?

– Since the film stars relative newcomers (Vedang Raina and Sharwari Wagh) in the lead roles, a good start may not be possible. But if the songs become popular by the time the film hits the screens, a fair start may be possible. Otherwise, the film will have to depend upon positive word of mouth for the collections to pick up.   

Why did this week’s Chand Mera Dil and last week’s Pati Patni Aur Woh Do not open well?

– That’s the tragedy of films nowadays. Many of them don’t even take decent initials and hence lose the box-office battle in the first weekend itself. Many people have stopped frequenting cinemas except for very big star cast films or those carrying extraordinary reports. They see the other films on OTT platforms when they stream after eight weeks. That’s the reason why many films open to dull houses.  

Why are three big films — Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, Bandar and Peddi Pehelwan (dubbed) — releasing on the same day (5th June) while no big film is slated for release in the previous week (29th May)?

– Yes, it’s strange but that’s the way it is.
