Bhool Chuk Maaf was earlier slated to release in theatres on May 9, 2025. But, due to the India-Pakistan conflict, the makers decided to release on OTT. However, it got into a legal tussle, and finally, it was decided that the movie will release in theatres. The Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi starrer has hit the big screens today (May 23, 2025), and it has recived mixed reviews from critics and the audiences. However, the movie is heading for a good start at the box office.
Looking at the current trend, it looks like the film might collect around Rs. 5-6 crore at the box office on day 1, and if there's a good jump during the night shows, then the collection can be around Rs. 7 crore. It is a good opening as Bhool Chuk Maaf is a mid-budget film. However, the film needs to show a jump at the box office on Saturday and Sunday.
It is a family entertainer, so we can expect the audience to go to the theatres on the weekend and watch the film. It would be great if the movie during its first weekend collects around Rs. 25-30 crore.
Rajkummar Rao's last release, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala, had taken an opening of Rs. 5.50 crore, but due to negative reviews, it had failed to make a mark at the box office. Well, Bhool Chuk Maaf has received mixed reviews, so let's wait and watch what response it will get at the box office over the weekend.
