Praise for the film
Filmmakers Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap and Anubhav Sinha showered praise on the film.

Congratulating ex-wife Aarti Bajaj for editing, Anurag Kashyap kept his message short and simple: "Congratulations, champion."
Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha wrote, "Imtiaz, my friend, so so so happy to see Main Vaapas Aaunga. In times when film directors, for various reasons, are getting ruthlessly stripped of the most vital virtue of their art form, every frame of your film is soaked in that very virtue. BELIEF!!!"
Main Vaapas Aaunga marks the second collaboration between Imtiaz Ali and Diljit Dosanjh after their 2024 Netflix film Amar Singh Chamkila. It also reunites the director with composer A. R. Rahman and lyricist Irshad Kamil, the trio behind acclaimed soundtracks for films such as Rockstar, Tamasha, Highway and Amar Singh Chamkila.
Imtiaz Ali's take on partition and the classic love story in this film opens a floodgate of emotions, turbulence and conflict that have tormented many generations.
