's comedy drama 'Bhool Chuk Maaf' is winning hearts and raking in big numbers. In just seven days, the film has crossed Rs. 44 crore at the box office as reported by Sacnilk. This is a solid start for this small-town love story.

A warm opening and a strong weekend
Released on 23 May 2025, 'Bhool Chuk Maaf' kicked off its theatrical journey with a solid Rs. 7 crore on Day 1. Over the weekend, the numbers only got better. On Saturday, it collected Rs. 9.5 crore, followed by Rs. 11.5 crore on Sunday – its highest single-day total in the first week.
By the end of its first weekend, the film had already earned Rs. 28 crore, showing clear signs that word-of-mouth and audience love were working in its favour.
Day 7 occupancy
On Thursday, 29 May 2025, 'Bhool Chuk Maaf' showed a steady turnout across cinema halls, with an overall average occupancy of 11.19% for its Hindi 2D version. The film had a slow start in the morning with just 5.72% occupancy but picked up during the day.
Afternoon shows recorded a healthy 13.40%, followed by 11.46% in the evening. The night shows saw the highest audience turnout at 14.18%.
Holding steady through the week
Weekdays usually bring a drop in collections, but 'Bhool Chuk Maaf' held its ground quite well.
Monday saw Rs. 4.5 crore
Tuesday improved slightly with Rs. 4.75 crore
Wednesday followed with Rs. 3.5 crore
Thursday, the seventh day, brought in Rs. 3.25 crore (as per early estimates by Sacnilk)
This brought the film's total to Rs. 44 crore by the end of the first week – a very respectable number for this comedy drama.
About 'Bhool Chuk Maaf'
Set in Banaras, the film tells the story of Ranjan (played by Rajkummar Rao), a young man madly in love with a girl named Titli (played by Wamiqa Gabbi).
To marry her, he aims to get a government job. But things take a surprising turn when he breaks a vow made to Lord Shiva and ends up stuck in a tricky situation – one that he must fix to get his life back on track.
The film has received fairly positive reviews from critics too. A review by ETimes gave it 3 out of 5 stars and shared, 'The first half takes a bit too long to get to the point with innumerable songs added for no rhyme or reason. Humour is largely clean and safe if you excuse the occasional 'tatti jokes'. It's the second half that changes the game. It is here that the film addresses growing apathy, isolated existence, and self-centric living.
' This mix of humour and heart seems to have struck a balance that works well for the audience.

Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning mints Rs 1110 crore in USA alone
Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is performing well globally. The film has earned US $129.2 million worldwide. It is doing well in the United States and China. The movie is expected to surpass Dead Reckoning's China earnings. To be profitable, The Final Reckoning needs to earn $1 billion worldwide. The film's performance indicates a successful run. Tom Cruise is proving once again why he remains Hollywood's most reliable action star. His latest outing, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, released on May 23, 2025, has stormed the US box office, collecting a mighty US $129.2 million ( Rs 1110 crore) as of its second Tuesday, with a particularly strong $4.1 million haul reflecting a minimal -42.8% drop from the previous week — far steadier than Dead Reckoning's -56.3% drop in 2023. T his performance places The Final Reckoning among the top five second Tuesday grossers for Memorial Day releases in the U.S. Only Cruise's own Top Gun: Maverick ($13.8M), Lilo & Stitch ($8.4M), Aladdin ($7.8M), and The Little Mermaid ($6.1M) have fared better historically. Projected to finish its U.S. run between $190 million and $210 million, the film's strong legs point toward a promising overall trajectory. But it's not just America where Cruise's star power is shining. In China, the film is delivering exceptional numbers as well. On Wednesday, The Final Reckoning grossed a solid $1.8 million, dropping just -14.3% from Tuesday across an impressive 89,000 screenings — matching its previous day's show count as per Luiz Fernando's report. What's noteworthy is the film's strong walk-up business, with a whopping 88.4% of Wednesday's tickets sold during the day, while only 11.6% came from pre-sales. In just six days, the film has reached $35.7 million ( Rs 300 crore) in China. With $200,000 already clocked in pre-sales for Thursday while maintaining 89,000 screen count, it's on track to outpace Dead Reckoning's entire Chinese run and could become the first Hollywood release since Venom: The Last Dance (October 2024) to cross the $50 million mark locally — likely by this weekend itself. The film in India as well is doign brisky business and it heading towards Rs 100 crore mark. Made on a staggering $400 million budget, The Final Reckoning needs to hit the elusive $1 billion milestone worldwide to turn a profit, factoring in marketing spends and revenue splits. With Cruise's enduring fanbase and a relentless global rollout, the mission doesn't seem impossible at all. The ensemble cast includes returning fan favorites Hayley Atwell as Grace, Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Simon Pegg , Henry Czerny, Pom Klementieffs, and Esai Morales along with Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt.
