This 6/10 IMDb romantic comedy is a superhit, rocked box office for 21 days, now trending on OTT, it is.., lead actors are...
In the ever-evolving world of cinema, many films come and go. Some entertain us, stay with us for a few hours, and vanish before we know it. With an array of options to watch on OTT to every Friday release, audiences have a short attention span and they are spoilt for choice. But amidst all this, every once in a while, comes some content that catches us off guard, and it's compelling storyline and strong performances surprise us with its refreshing take.
One such similar tale is of a film that is currently trending on OTT. What starts to look like a romantic comedy ends up taking an unexpected turn, which provokes thought and curiosity amongst the viewers.
The film that we are talking about is none other than Bhool Chuk Maaf. This desi rom-com with a quirky twist is directed by Karan Sharma and produced by Maddock Film in partnership with Amazon and MGM Studios. The film featured powerful performers like Raj Kumar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi in the lead with other incredible artists like Sanjay Mishra, Seema Pahwa, and Zakir Hussain in supporting roles.
Released on 23rd May in theatres, the film is now streaming on Amazon Prime. The plot of the film revolves around a small-town boy (portrayed by Raj Kumar Rao) who is madly in love with a girl (Wamiqa Gabbi) and dreams of marrying her. However, like every Indian father, Wamiqa's character's father lays down a condition – he will only get his daughter married to the boy once he secures a stable government job, but he only has a deadline of 2 months. In the determination of love and commitment, the boy desperately starts looking for a government job. Eventually, he turns to Lord Shiva and prays religiously. Much to his surprise, his wish gets fulfilled.
He gets the job. The girl's family agrees to their marriage, and the couple is happy. With their wedding date fixed on the 30th of that month. However, what happens next is a tale of unexpected turns and twists. Something happens a day before the wedding, and the boy gets stuck in the never-ending loop of haldi. The boy wakes up consecutively to find himself reliving the same haldi day, which is the 29th, again and again. This time loop doesn't seem to end for him, and he gets stuck on the pre-wedding day with the wedding never arriving.
What happens next? How does he get stuck in this loop? Do they ever get married? All these questions unfold interestingly, keeping the audience entertained and hooked throughout.
From romance, drama, entertainment, to thrill, Bhool Chuk Maaf is a wholesome package offering a power-packed performance from the actors. So, if you are in the mood for some mystery and humour, add this film to your must-watch list right away.

Anuj Sachdeva: Art can't thrive in a VIP culture
Anuj Sachdeva Despite venturing into films and OTT platforms early in his career, Anuj Sachdeva's journey beyond television has been far from easy. The actor, recently seen in Chhal Kapat – The Deception, shares, 'I've always maintained that I'm trying to push my luck and put my best foot forward. The challenges are ongoing, and I don't think that will ever change. But I'm not desperate. I'm willing to wait for the right opportunities.' He believes that landing good roles has become even more difficult, primarily due to the recycling of familiar faces and the dominance of star power. Having been part of projects like Delhi Heights, Hawaa Hawaai, and Breathe, Anuj says, 'OTT has formed its own lobby. You often see the same set of actors being cast repeatedly, which makes it harder for others to get a chance. I still hope the focus shifts back to the characters, not just the actors. ' He continues, 'Give me the opportunity and I'll deliver. I know my capabilities, and if something doesn't suit me, I'll be honest about it. I'm open to attending workshops and putting in the effort. Honing one's craft and carving out a place doesn't happen overnight.' What initially promised to be a character-driven medium, OTT today seems increasingly influenced by follower counts and star value. Reflecting on the shift, Anuj says, 'Earlier, casting was about finding someone who fit the character. Now, if you don't have a certain number of followers, you might not even be considered. And people forget—not all followers are real. I've also been asked about my social media numbers, but I've chosen to grow my presence organically rather than take shortcuts. ' He adds, 'It's like a newly built temple; open to everyone at first, but once it becomes popular, queues and hierarchies emerge. But art can't thrive in a VIP culture. The focus should be on the story and the project. A good filmmaker will cast someone who fits the role, not just a name to prop up a weak script.' While Anuj continues to pursue meaningful roles professionally, he finds contentment in his personal life. Asked about his relationship status and whether he misses companionship, he says, 'I'm single. Of course, there's pressure to settle down and start a family at a certain age, but I'm not in that space right now. I find joy in caring for the dogs and cats in my compound. The love and affection I get from them is more than enough for me. '

Mahavatar Narsimha Box Office Update: Hombale's devotional-epic breaks into the enviable Rs 250 crore gross worldwide club on 4th Sunday
Mahavatar Narsimha, directed by Ashwin Kumar, produced by Kleen Productions and presented by Hombale Films, broke into the Rs 250 crore gross worldwide club on its 4th Sunday at the Indian box office. This is an exceptional feat for a movie that took a global start of around Rs 2 crore gross. The film braved the Saiyaara storm and also demolished its Hollywood competition, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Films that released in subsequent weeks, like Son Of Sardaar 2, Dhadak 2, War 2 and Coolie couldn't stop it, to the point that even its 4th Monday collections are higher than its opening day. Mahavatar Narsimha Crosses Rs 250 Crore Worldwide (Excluding 3D); Continues Glorious Box Office Run Mahavatar Narsimha is not just a movie, but a movement. Non theatre-going audiences are turning up to watch the movie, and many theatres are having viewers remove their slippers outside of the auditorium. The collections of the movie in India stand at Rs 228 crore after 24 days. If 3D charges are to be added, the gross collections rise up to Rs 253 crore. We have not been adding 3D charges for movies since the start, so that element is always for the readers to assume. The overseas collections of the movie are at an incredible USD 2.5 million (Rs 22 crore), taking the movie to Rs 250 crore worldwide after 24 days. The Bifurcation Of The Rs 250 Crore Worldwide Collection Of Mahavatar Narsimha After The 4th Weekend Is As Under Mahavatar Narsimha Will End As One Of The Most Profitable Indian Movies Of 2025 The movie's trend doesn't cease to amaze. There is a lot of steam still left in the animated film. It can fancy itself a Rs 325 crore plus worldwide finish. Made at a budget of just Rs 30 crore including print and publicity, the producer and the presenter are going to make a bank. A profit amount in excess of Rs 125 crore will be divided between Kleen Productions and Hombale Films. Thanks To Mahavatar Narsimha, Animation Has Become A Serious Genre In India The biggest takeaway is that animation, which wasn't considered to be a serious genre, has now started to be looked at as one. The Mahavatar Universe is expected to be extremely profitable based on the costs at which it is made, and the massive audience that it caters to.
