Imtiaz Ali’s Main Vaapas Aaunga is a tiresome, three-hour exercise in vanity that suffers from a hollow script, zero lead chemistry, and disjointed editing. Despite a commendable performance from Naseeruddin Shah, the film is a monumental disappointment that fails to capture the magic of the director's past hits.

After six years away from theatres and the wreckage of Love Aaj Kal (2020), Imtiaz Ali returns this Friday with Main Vaapas Aaunga — a Partition-era love story starring Diljit Dosanjh, with music by A.R. Rahman and Naseeruddin Shah as its anchor. We weigh everything going for the film, everything that could sink it, and why this comeback matters not just for Imtiaz but for the future of the Hindi romantic drama itself.

Cocktail 2's Vallah is a visually stunning song featuring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna in top form. Backed by gorgeous cinematography and one of Pritam's better melodies from the album, the track emerges as a pleasant surprise.
