Bhool Chuk Maaf OTT Release

Due to India-Pakistan conflict, the makers of the film had decided to release it on Amazon Prime Video on May 16, 2025. However, PVR INOX filed a lawsuit against the makers for cancelling the theatrical release, and the Bombay High Court had restrained the film from release on OTT. However, Bhool Chuk Maaf will finally be released in theatres.

Let's wait and watch what response the film will get at the box office.
