Main Vaapas Aaunga (2026)

Main Vaapas Aaunga (transl. “I Will Return”) is a Hindi-language epic romantic period drama that was released in theatres on 12 June 2026. Directed by Imtiaz Ali and featuring music by A. R. Rahman, the film stars Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, Vedang Raina, and Sharvari in key roles. The movie has been praised for its emotional storytelling and its exploration of memory, love, separation, and the lasting impact of the 1947 Partition of India through a deeply personal narrative.

The story unfolds across two timelines. In the present day, a 95-year-old Ishar Singh, also known as Keenu (Naseeruddin Shah), suffers a stroke while trying to travel to Pakistan. Struggling with dementia and fading memories, he is unable to explain his reasons, prompting his devoted grandson (Diljit Dosanjh) to uncover the hidden story of his life. The film then shifts to the 1940s, where a young Ishar (Vedang Raina) falls in love with Afsana, also called Jiya (Sharvari), in Sargodha before the Partition divides their world. As history separates them, Ishar’s heartfelt promise—“Main Vaapas Aaunga”—becomes a symbol of enduring love, hope, and the longing to return home.
