Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi's "Bhool Chuk Maaf" is continuing its successful run at the box office, inching closer to the coveted ₹50 crore mark after its first eight days in theaters. The romantic comedy, directed by Karan Sharma, has resonated well with audiences, particularly in smaller towns, and is proving to be a strong contender despite initial delays and competition from other releases.
According to early estimates from Sacnilk, "Bhool Chuk Maaf" earned approximately ₹3.15 crore on its eighth day, bringing its total domestic net collection to ₹47.45 crore. This suggests that the film is poised to cross the ₹50 crore milestone very soon, likely over the weekend. The film has surpassed the lifetime collections of 11 big releases of 2025 including Fateh, Emergency, Azaad, Loveyapa, Crazxy, Deva, Badass Ravi Kumar, Mere Husband Ki Biwi, Superboys of Malegon, The Diplomat and The Bhoonii.
The film's success can be attributed to its heartwarming storyline, set against the backdrop of Banaras, and the strong performances of its lead actors. "Bhool Chuk Maaf" tells the story of Ranjan (Rajkummar Rao) and Titli (Wamiqa Gabbi), a couple whose love story takes an unexpected turn when Ranjan gets stuck in a time loop, reliving his Haldi ceremony repeatedly. The movie explores themes of love, second chances, and the importance of cherishing every moment.
On its eighth day, "Bhool Chuk Maaf" recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 10.90% in cinemas. Viewership grew steadily throughout the day, with morning shows starting at 5.27%, afternoon shows rising to 11.80%, evening shows at 11.21%, and night shows peaking at 15.32%. The film had performed well on its first 7 days at the box office and earned an estimated ₹ 44.10 Cr India net.
"Bhool Chuk Maaf" has already surpassed the India nett collection of Wamiqa Gabbi's previous film, "Baby John," which featured Varun Dhawan.
The film's steady performance is particularly noteworthy considering it isn't backed by heavy action or massive budgets. Instead, it relies on its engaging narrative and the warm connection between the characters. The positive word-of-mouth and the film's appeal to family audiences have contributed significantly to its box office success.
The film is produced by Maddock Films and Amazon Prime Video, with key supporting roles played by Seema Pahwa, Sanjay Mishra, Raghubir Yadav, and Zakir Hussain. With a budget of ₹50 crores, "Bhool Chuk Maaf" has already recovered a significant portion of its investment and is well on its way to becoming a profitable venture.
As "Bhool Chuk Maaf" enters its second week, it remains to be seen how well it holds up against new releases. However, given its current momentum and the positive reception it has received, the film is expected to continue its successful run and achieve even greater milestones in the coming days.
