Day 5 Collection: Steady but Solid
On Day 5 (Tuesday), Bhool Chuk Maaf collected ₹4.5 crore — the same as its Monday collection, indicating a steady hold at the box office. Though it saw a sharp drop from its Sunday earnings of ₹11.5 crore, the film has managed to maintain decent numbers during weekdays.
As per data from industry tracker Sakanilka, the total domestic box office collection now stands at ₹37 crore, surpassing Shahid Kapoor’s cop drama Deva, which had earned ₹33.97 crore.
Occupancy Trends: Night Shows Still Going Strong
Despite the weekday lull, Bhool Chuk Maaf has recorded high occupancy during night shows at 36.19%. This was followed by evening shows at 26.05%, afternoon at 24.79%, while morning shows saw a low turnout at just 8.63%.
In terms of city-wise performance:
- Chennai topped the charts with 56.67% occupancy,
- Jaipur followed at 38.75%,
- The NCR region stood at 30.50%,
- Mumbai and Pune showed modest numbers at 25% and 22.25%, respectively.
Film Synopsis: A Time-Loop Romance With a Twist
Bhool Chuk Maaf revolves around a soon-to-be-married man who discovers that he is stuck in a time loop, reliving the day before his wedding repeatedly. The film blends elements of romance, comedy, and existential reflection, making it relatable yet refreshingly different.
Alongside Rao and Gabbi, the film also features seasoned actors Seema Pahwa, Raghubir Yadav, Zakir Hussain, and Sanjay Mishra, each contributing richly to the film’s grounded yet whimsical world.
Produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, the banner behind hits like Stree 2, the film adds another feather to their cap of innovative storytelling.
Dual Release Strategy: Cinema Now, OTT Soon
The release journey of Bhool Chuk Maaf has been as eventful as its plot. Originally slated to release on May 9, it was delayed due to national security concerns post Operation Sindoor. The film instead made its theatrical debut on May 23, following a legal tussle between multiplex chain PVRINOX, Maddock Films, and Amazon MGM Studios over its planned direct-to-digital release.
After a court-mediated settlement, the parties agreed to a unique hybrid release model. The film will now stream on Prime Video India from June 6, just two weeks after its theatrical debut — an unprecedented move for a mainstream Bollywood release.
Competition Ahead: Can It Hold Its Ground?
With no major Hindi releases this Friday, Bhool Chuk Maaf has a clear run at the box office until next week. However, the film will face stiff competition from two big releases:
- On June 5, the Hindi dubbed version of Mani Ratnam’s much-anticipated crime thriller Thug Life (starring Kamal Haasan, Simbu, and Trisha) hits theatres.
- On June 6, the laughter-packed comedy Housefull 5, featuring Akshay Kumar and an ensemble cast, will aim to capture the family audience.
Outlook: Slow and Steady May Win the Race
Despite not opening with earth-shattering numbers, Bhool Chuk Maaf has demonstrated resilience and audience connection, especially in metros and tier-1 cities. Its innovative storytelling, strong performances, and favorable word-of-mouth have worked in its favor.
With its digital debut around the corner, the film is poised to reach a broader audience, potentially boosting its popularity and long-term viewership numbers.
