When can you watch Main Vaapas Aaunga on OTT?

Directed by Ali, Main Vaapas Aaunga will release on August 7 on Netflix. Just a day before the film hits the platform, the streaming giant made the announcement.

''78 saal pehle jo kahaani adhoori reh gayi thi, woh ab poori hogi🥹Watch Main Vaapas Aaunga, out 7 August, on Netflix!'' they wrote in the announcement post.

Despite a box office clash with Kangana Ranaut's Bharat Bhagya Vidhata, Main Vaapas Aaunga performed well in theatres. All credit goes to the strong word-of-mouth around its story, performances, and music.

Set against the backdrop of the 1947 Partition, the film presents a dual-timeline love story that explores themes of love, longing as it traces the story of a couple, separated by Partition of India and Pakistan.

The theme of memory, trauma, and choices from the past continues to haunt the present. The movie features a stellar cast comprising Naseeruddin Shah, Diljit Dosanjh, Vedang Raina, Rajat Kapoor, and Sharvari.

Main Vaapas Aaunga review: Imtiaz Ali crafts a hauntingly beautiful tale of partition trauma, love, and longing

Film critic Shomini Sen wrote,''The film is hauntingly beautiful. Written by Ali and Nayanika Mehtani, Main Vaapas Aaunga takes an interfaith love story to tell a story about belonging and about homecoming. It comes at a time when headlines all over are dominated by news of conflict and war. But the film, instead of pointing fingers at a community in particular, tries to look at the larger picture of loved lost, of passing on trauma through generations due to one tragic incident and blaming circumstances over the community.''
