Main Vaapas Aaunga

2026 · The Hindu

Imtiaz Ali's Main Vaapas Aaunga offers a timely and thoughtful counter to the spate of hyper-jingoistic films currently flooding Bollywood. When history's borders are being redrawn in the heart, Ali has made a film against the current—one that seeks to remind people that a collective trauma demands contemplation, not a justification for renewed hatred.
