Main Vaapus Aaunga is proving to be a HIT film in East Punjab as it catches the collections of a big new release like Cocktail in just four days after its release. On Monday Cocktail 2 has grossed around 53 lakhs nett while Main Vaapus Aaunga is 47 lakhs nett and on Tuesday its likely that Main Vaapus Aaunga will be same or more than Cocktail 2 and East Punjab is one of the better performing circuits for Cocktail 2.

Main Vaapus Aaunga has that Punjabi flavour with partition relatability which means it is scoring excellent numbers in Gurgaon and the bigger centres of Punjab state. The film is sure to hit double digits in the circuit and could even challenge the collections of Bhooth Bangla in the circuit which is a 165 crore nett plus film across India.

This is not to say that Main Vaapus Aaunga is a HIT and Cocktail 2 is a FLOP as the economics are all wrong for Main Vaapus Aaunga and despite this huge appreciation in parts of the country it will turn out to be a heavy loser unless this mini miracle spreads out and becomes a real miracle. It has to become a mini Mahavatar Narsimha in terms of box office collections to get somewhere.

Putting East Punjab aside and at an all India level Cocktail 2 which actually does not have much appreciation is actually standing in a better position simply because of the opening weekend. Again showing the importance of getting figures up on the first weekend especially if you have a cost associated for a film. Its basically a MUST for films with a budget.
