After a solid opening of Rs 7.20 crore on Day 1, Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi’s fantasy rom-com Bhool Chuk Maaf has continued its upward box office trend.
Thanks to strong word of mouth and a partial holiday, midday trends on Day 2 indicate a net collection of Rs 9.81 crore, bringing the film’s two-day total to an impressive Rs 17.01 crore.
From Legal Delays To Theatrical Cheers
Originally meant for a direct-to-digital release, Bhool Chuk Maaf was embroiled in a legal battle between Maddock Films and PVR INOX. But the tide turned after a settlement enabled its theatrical release on May 23.
And what a turnaround it’s been — the film is now resonating with both families and young audiences alike.
Set in Varanasi, the story follows Ranjan, a quirky government officer who finds himself stuck in a bizarre time loop on the day of his haldi ceremony. Directed by Karan Sharma and produced by Maddock Films in association with Amazon MGM Studios, the film is being praised for its novel genre blend of rom-com, sci-fi, and small-town charm.
Family Favourite Despite Box Office Competition
While new releases like Kesari Veer and Kapkapiii failed to cross Rs 25 lakhs on their debut, Bhool Chuk Maaf is quietly emerging as a summer sleeper hit.
Although competing with the tail end of Raid 2’s theatrical run and Hollywood heavyweights like Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and Final Destination: Bloodlines, the film’s core demographic remains untouched.
“Hollywood audiences and Bhool Chuk Maaf’s target viewers rarely overlap,” says a trade expert.
“That’s worked to the film’s advantage as multiplex goers look for light-hearted, fresh Indian content.”
All Eyes On Sunday Surge
With positive momentum and a content-friendly gap at the box office, all eyes are now on Day 3 (Sunday) for a potentially stronger surge.
If the trend holds, Bhool Chuk Maaf could comfortably cross Rs 25 crore by weekend close, placing it among the more unexpected success stories of the season.
BoxOfficeWorldwide Verdict
From courtroom delays to box office applause, Bhool Chuk Maaf has had a dramatic journey — and it’s only getting better.
With a refreshing concept, charming leads, and a strong hold over urban audiences, the film is on track to become one of 2025’s most pleasant surprises.
