Bhool Chuk Maaf box office collection Day 8: Rajkummar Rao-Wamiqa Gabbi's film set to cross Rs 50 crore mark, Varun Dhawan's Baby John beaten
Bhool Chuk Maaf Box Office Collection Day 8: Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi's romantic comedy Bhool Chuk Maaf has completed half of its planned two-week theatrical run. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film's Indian nett collection rose to Rs 47.25 crore, after it earned Rs 3.15 crore on its second Friday. In all probability, the film should be able to cross the Rs 50 crore mark on Saturday, and will then have one week remaining to maximise its earnings.
The Akshay Kumar and R Madhavan courtroom drama Kesari 2 had a similar first week run, but it crossed the Rs 50 crore mark on its second Friday. With the current numbers, Bhool Chuk Maaf has already surpassed the India nett collection of Wamiqa's last film, Baby John, which featured Varun Dhawan and debutant Keerthy Suresh. On the other hand, Rajkummar's last film was the Amar Kaushik directorial Stree 2, which had an India nett collection of over Rs 600 crore.

The occupancy rates remained sparse, averaging of 10.90% throughout the day. The morning and afternoon shows achieved a rate of 5.27% and 11.80%, respectively, while the evening and night shows had a rate of 11.21% and 15.32%. The makers will be hoping that this number will go up the coming two days, as this is the last weekend the film will run in the theatres almost unchallenged. On June 5, Mani Ratnam's Thug Life, featuring Kamal Haasan, will be release in theatres, and on the very next day, the ensemble comedy Housefull 5 will be released. The cast of the latter includes stars like Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Sonam Bajwa, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff.
The limited theatre run was decided after the makers of the film announced that they will be releasing the film straight on Prime Video. This move came during the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor. This did not go well with the multiplex chain PVR INOX, which sued them for damages, and finally, Maddock Films had to release the film in theatres, but just for two weeks. The film will be available to stream on Prime Video from June 6.

Nushrratt Bharuccha defends moving model aside at Lakmé Fashion Week after backlash: ‘I was told from backstage…'
Bollywood actor Nushrratt Bharuccha walked at Lakmé Fashion Week 2025 for NIF Global: The Runway in March. A video from the event surfaced online, showing the actor moving aside a fellow model on the runway. She received significant backlash on social media. Now, in an interview with Yuvaa, Nushrratt has finally addressed the incident. (Also Read: Nushrratt Bharuccha on casual sexism in film world: If I'm being told this isn't your place, sometimes I have to shut up) The video in question showed Nushrratt making space for herself in the centre of the ramp by moving aside another model. As she reached the end of the ramp, where the models were posing, Nushrratt moved aside a girl, and the two smiled at each other. Moments later, she asked two other girls to stand beside her, completely blocking the previous model from view. The clip sparked criticism of Nushrratt's conduct on the runway, with many accusing her of 'showing attitude'. Responding to the backlash and explaining her actions, Nushrratt said, "She wasn't even a model—she was one of the designers, one of the children from the NIF class, who didn't know about ramp shows or centre stage. What was I supposed to do? She was standing in the centre, there was loud music, and I was told from backstage, 'Please make your space and take your position.' So how do I make space? Forget being a showstopper—any model who walks knows that you walk to centre stage, then turn and walk back. That's basic." A post shared by Instant Bollywood (@instantbollywood) Meanwhile, Nushrratt was last seen in Vishal Furia's horror film Chhorii 2. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Vikram Malhotra, and Jack Davis, the film is a sequel to Chhorii (2021), and also features Soha Ali Khan, Gashmeer Mahajani, and Saurabh Goyal in key roles. While Soha and Nushrratt were praised for their performances, the lack of jump scares disappointed some fans. The film is available to watch on Prime Video. Nushrratt has yet to announce her next project.
