Imtiaz Ali's Main Vaapas Aaunga has received widespread critical acclaim, but the director is more excited about the younger generation's connection with the film. He admires their openness and lack of preconceived notions, which allows them to appreciate the old-fashioned love story.
The director believes that the current generation is sensitive and sympathetic towards their grandparents' generation, and the film is helping to bridge the gap between them.
Imtiaz Ali also notes that the concept of love is getting a reinvention for the younger generation through stories like Main Vaapas Aaunga, where love is unstrategized and easy, and commitment is valued.
