Main Vaapas Aaunga Box Office Collection Day 1

Despite the favourable reviews and strong word-of-mouth, the film had a slow start at the box office. According to Sacnilk, the film collected Rs 1.15 crore in India on its opening day from 2,302 shows across the country on its first Friday. With this, the film's India gross collection has reached Rs 1.38 crore so far.

One of the major reasons behind its modest opening could be the intense competition from multiple releases. The film faced a box office clash with Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past, Bharat Bhagya Vidhata, and Governor, all of which targeted different audience segments.

While the opening numbers may not be extraordinary, films in this genre often rely on positive word-of-mouth and sustained audience interest over the weekend.

Budget

While there has been no official confirmation from the makers regarding the film's production cost, several reports suggest that Main Vaapas Aaunga has been mounted on a whopping budget of approximately Rs 70 crore.

Given its modest opening-day collection of Rs 1.15 crore, the film will need to see substantial growth over the weekend and maintain a strong run in the coming weeks to emerge as a box-office success.

Main Vaapas Aaunga Review

The Free Press Journal gave Main Vaapas Aaunga 4 out of 5 stars and wrote, "The film could have been slightly shorter, especially in the first half. But that's just a small complaint in an otherwise beautiful cinematic experience. Main Vaapas Aaunga is packed with love, loss, longing and hope. It is emotional and heartbreaking. This is the kind of film that stays with you long after the credits roll."

It looks like Dana White’s concerns are becoming reality ahead of UFC Freedom 250.

The UFC boss has never liked the idea of outdoor events, mainly because you can’t control what the weather’s going to do.

Still, he set those worries aside for a chance to stage a fight card at the White House, which was too unique to turn down.

The UFC Freedom 250 pre-fight press conference was originally set for Friday at 8:15 pm (ET).

Weather Causes Delay for UFC Freedom 250 Press Conference

Earlier in the day, the promotion had already hinted at a possible delay due to weather concerns.

“Update regarding this evening’s #UFCWhiteHouse Press Conference at the Lincoln Memorial,” the UFC posted on X. “Due to anticipated inclement weather in the area, we advise all attendees to arrive no earlier than 7:30 p.m.”

About two hours later, it was confirmed that the event was pushed back by 45 minutes.

“Due to inclement weather, #UFCWhiteHouse Press Conference has moved to 9:00pm ET,” a follow-up post read. “We advise all attendees to arrive no earlier than 8:30pm ET. Please check weather conditions before traveling.”

Fans take to social media to voice concerns

After the biggest card of the year faced a delay, there was a strong reaction from fans online.

The comment section quickly filled with worries that the event itself might not go ahead due to worsening weather conditions.

One fan posted, “PLEASE DON’T POSTPONE THE FIGHTS,” while another added, “Do it in the rain.”

A third predicted, “Event finna get canceled,” as others echoed similar doubts about whether the fight would happen as planned.

Someone else chimed in with: “This event is gonna be a disaster lmao.”

A sixth person pointed out: “Saturday is the only day it’s expected to be bright and sunny here this weekend, and you put the event on Sunday when it’s likely gonna storm.”
