EXCLUSIVE: Rajkummar Rao & Wamiqa Gabbi On Bhool Chuk Maaf, Stree 2 Pressure & Modern Love Struggles
The romantic comedy-drama, directed by Karan Sharma, opened to a decent Rs 7 crore on its first Friday. Positive word-of-mouth and favorable reviews helped the film gain momentum over the weekend, with collections rising to Rs 9.5 crore on Saturday and peaking at Rs 11.5 crore on Sunday. While the usual weekday drop followed, Bhool Chuk Maaf managed to hold steady with Rs 4.5 crore on Monday and Rs 4.79 crore on Tuesday, taking its five day India net total to Rs 37.29 crore.
In doing so, the film has overtaken the lifetime collection of Mr. & Mrs. Mahi, which earned Rs 36.34 crore. The cricket-based romantic drama, released last year, marked Rajkummar's second collaboration with
. Though it opened to fair numbers, it couldn't maintain a strong hold at the box office. Bhool Chuk Maaf, however, has managed to sustain better, buoyed by its lighthearted narrative, relatable humor, and the fresh pairing of Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi.
With this, Bhool Chuk Maaf now stands as the fifth highest-grossing film of Rajkummar's career. Topping his box office chart remains Stree 2, which shattered records earlier this year by collecting a staggering Rs 597.99 crore. Its predecessor, Stree (Rs 129.83 crore), holds second place, followed by
(Rs 48.07 crore) and Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video (Rs 42.09 crore).
The film's success reinforces Rajkummar Rao's consistent ability to draw audiences, especially when paired with strong content. It's also a significant milestone for Wamiqa Gabbi, who has been making steady inroads into mainstream Bollywood after impressing audiences with her OTT performances.
As Bhool Chuk Maaf inches closer to the Rs 40 crore mark, it will be interesting to see how it fares in its second week which sees the release of
's Karata Kid. The Hindi version of the film has been dubbed by
and his son Yug Devgn.

Himesh Reshammiya praises Paresh Rawal amid his legal dispute with Akshay Kumar's Hera Pheri 3 during Mumbai concert: ‘He was fantastic'
Singer-composer Himesh Reshammiya made an unexpected reference to veteran actor Paresh Rawal and the Hera Pheri franchise during his concert in Mumbai on Saturday night, drawing cheers from the crowd and sparking conversation online. While performing on stage, Himesh briefly paused to acknowledge Rawal's contribution to the first two films in the popular comedy series. Without directly addressing the actor's recent exit from Hera Pheri 3, Himesh said, 'Hera Pheri 1, he was fantastic. Hera Pheri 2, he was fantastic. He was also great in…' Before completing the sentence, he broke into the track Jumme Raat from Phir Hera Pheri, a song that featured Paresh Rawal alongside Suniel Shetty and Akshay Kumar . The emotional nod was interpreted by many as a subtle show of support for Rawal amid the current controversy surrounding his departure from the third installment of the franchise. The high-energy concert, held in Mumbai, was attended by several celebrities, including Farah Khan, Sajid Khan, Veer Pahariya, Saqib Saleem, and Zaheer Iqbal. The night featured a mix of Himesh's greatest hits, but it was his mention of Hera Pheri that stood out for fans and industry insiders alike. Paresh Rawal's legal dispute with Akshay Kumar Himesh's statement comes amid a legal dispute between Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar's production banner, Cape of Good Films. According to reports, the production house has filed a Rs 25 crore lawsuit against Rawal following his exit from Hera Pheri 3. The actor is said to have returned the Rs 11 lakh signing amount, along with 15% annual interest and an additional goodwill payment.

Meet Indian business tycoon whose first wife died in a plane crash, married an actress secretly, his name is..., wife is...
New Delhi: Juhi Chawla has been one of the most vivacious and successful actresses of the 90s. Throughout her career, she worked with superstars ranging from Aamir Khan to Shahrukh Khan and was part of several successful films. In the 1990s, Juhi Chawla ruled the hearts of the audience with her smile and splendid acting. She captured audiences' hearts with performances in films like 'Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak', 'Darr', 'Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke', and 'Ishq'. However, unlike other actresses, Juhi always kept her personal life away from the limelight. Juhi Chawla secretly married businessman Jay Mehta in 1995 and kept it under wraps for a long time. Juhi Chawla herself revealed the reason for this. She mentioned that she was afraid that news of her marriage could affect her popularity and career. It is noteworthy that Jay Mehta is a billionaire businessman, the chairman of the Mehta Group, and the co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Jay Mehta graduated from Columbia University and earned an MBA from the International Institute of Management Development in Switzerland. Jay's first marriage was in 1984 to Sujata Birla, who was the sister of prominent Birla Group heir Yash Birla. However, in 1990, Jay Mehta's life was completely shaken. Sujata died in the crash of Indian Airlines Flight 605. This incident deeply traumatized Jay. A few years after Sujata's death, Juhi Chawla entered Jay Mehta's life. Initially, they developed a friendship that later turned into love. Juhi and Jay met at a dinner party hosted by Rakesh Roshan. In an interview, Juhi mentioned that when she married Jay, she was dealing with the shock of her mother's death and was concerned about her career. However, her mother-in-law advised her to continue acting. Today, Juhi and Jay have been married for three decades, and they have a daughter, Jahnvi, and son Arjun. Jay Mehta is the chairman of Mehta Group whose net worth is about Rs 4171 crores. This company operates in sectors like cement, packaging, gardening, and building materials. Jay and Juhi live in a lavish house in Malabar Hill, Mumbai, which has two full floors. Their daughter Jahnavi and son Arjun are also showing interest in the family business. In 2024, Juhi Chawla became India's richest actress. It is worth mentioning that in 2024, Juhi Chawla secured her place in the Hurun Rich List as India's richest actress. According to the Hurun Rich List 2024, her wealth is Rs 4600 crores. She is only behind her close friend Shah Rukh Khan in the list of the richest actors. In 2007, Jay Mehta, along with Juhi Chawla and Shah Rukh Khan, purchased Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for 75 million dollars (around 624 crore rupees). At that time, their business was going through a tough phase, but they took the risk. Today, KKR is one of the most successful franchises in IPL, having won the title three times. Jay describes it as the best investment of his life.
