Before it could reach theatres, Bhool Chuk Maaf ran into trouble. The India-Pakistan conflict was burning, and things were tense. Maddock Films, the ones who made it, chose to go straight to Prime Video on May 16, 2025. It seemed simple. But it wasn’t.
PVR Inox, the big theatre chain, didn’t like it. They had a deal, and they said Maddock broke it. So they took them to court. It cost them. Sixty crores lost, they said. And the film, which should have stayed eight weeks on the big screen, lasted only two. That was the price. In the end, the makers gave in. The film went to theatres after all.
Bhool Chuk Maaf OTT Release Date
Bhool Chuk Maaf, with Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, came to the theatres on May 23, 2025. It was a comedy, but with weight behind the laughs. Karan Sharma directed it straight and clean. Now it comes again—this time to the screen at home. On June 6, 2025, it will land on Prime Video. No fuss. Just the film.
Dinesh Vijan’s Response
Dinesh Vijan, who produced Bhool Chuk Maaf and runs Maddock Films, gave a statement. He said he was thankful the film could go to theatres. Things were getting better, he said, and it felt right to bring a story like this to the big screen. One that spoke plainly and from the heart. He spoke of family—how it mattered now more than ever. He asked people to come with their loved ones, to laugh, to think, and maybe to feel some joy again.
He also thanked the theatre owners. They had stayed steady. They were patient, and they believed in stories meant to be watched in the dark, together. The way things were looking now, he implied, was better. And they were ready to work side by side again.
What’s the Plot of Bhool Chuk Maaf?
Bhool Chuk Maaf is the story of a man named Ranjan. He lives in a small town. He gets a government job so he can marry the woman he loves, Titili. But the night before the wedding, something happens. Time turns on him. He wakes up and it’s the same day again. And again. He tells his family, but they don’t believe him. He is alone with the thing.
Cast of Bhool Chuk Maaf
This is the first time Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi act together. The film also has Sanjay Mishra, Seema Pahwa, and Raghubir Yadav. It is a story for families. It is strange, and it is true.
Conclusion
That’s how it went then. Off screen Bhool Chuk Maaf had more trouble than on. It managed to dodge border tensions. PVR Inox went to court against it. That wasn’t easy. It bent and then bent again. The film kept coming back to the same place like the loop in the story. That could have been the point. Perhaps Ranjan wasn’t the only one that was stuck. They were chasing release dates, losing time, losing money and the makers were caught as well. It arrives on your OTT screen on June 6th. Sit down. Watch Rajkummar Rao keep living the same day again and again.
