Producer-filmmaker Ektaa R Kapoor recently took to social media to share her review of the upcoming film Main Vaapas Aaunga after attending a special screening. The filmmaker was all praise for the film’s emotional storytelling, performances, and music, while also applauding director Imtiaz Ali and composer A. R. Rahman for their work on the project.
Sharing her thoughts in a series of posts, Ektaa hinted at the emotional impact the film had on her even before its official release. “A film that the world is going to witness in June… I got to experience in May. And let me tell you, even a month before its release, all I want to say is: you have no idea what’s coming next!” she wrote.

Describing the premise of the film, Ektaa added, “This movie is called Main Vaapas Aaunga, a love story set against the backdrop of the Partition. A film that beautifully shows how generations may think differently, live differently, and love differently… yet somehow it all leads back to the same thing: you have to fall in love”. The filmmaker went on to describe the emotional after-effect the film left on her. “It’s emotional, timeless, and stays with you long after it ends. It creates an unheard-of, unbelievable nostalgia. It leaves everyone thinking about that one person they never got closure with… that one person they left with unfinished promises…” she shared.

Continuing further, she wrote, “That one person they know they’ll remember even on their last day. This film leaves you with a heart-wrenching kind of love, the kind two people must have felt in a time when there were no mobile phones, no digital media… just longing, patience, and emotions that stayed forever.” Ektaa also reserved special praise for the film’s creative team and cast. “#ImtiazAli is in TOP form! @arrahman music is pure magic!” she wrote before appreciating the performances of Diljit Dosanjh, Vedang Raina, Sharvari, and veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah.

“What stays with you is @diljitdosanjh restrained performance. He carries his emotions and his duality in his eyes, playing a young man who doesn't know how to express himself, what to commit to, or how to navigate his relationships. But the surprise package of the film is #VedangRaina. What an outstanding breakout performance! I had seen him in The Archies and liked him there, but here he’s truly in top form. He is unbelievably charming, and as a sardarji, he is absolutely going to win hearts! So impressed with what he has done in this film. #Sharvari is absolutely beautiful on screen. Her eyes express every emotion with so much grace and honesty. She has such a strong presence, and she’s definitely someone we’ll look forward to seeing in many more films,” she shared.

Praising Naseeruddin Shah, Ektaa added, “@naseeruddnshah is simply an icon. Any words used to describe how good he is would honestly feel inadequate, because nothing truly does justice to the kind of actor he is. Can’t stop thinking about this film”. She concluded her review by admitting that the film stayed with her long after the screening. “So I still can’t get over the film I saw… It genuinely took me an entire day to even think of what to write because I didn’t want to get a single word wrong.”
