‘Bhool Chuk Maaf': Rajkummar Rao, Wamiqa Gabbi film set for theatrical release
Bhool Chuk Maaf, the Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi-starrer time loop comedy, will now release in theatres and not on OTT, producer Dinesh Vijan said on Thursday.
Vijan's production banner Maddock Films had recently announced that the movie will skip its theatrical release on May 9 and get a digital release on Prime Video on May 16 due to the recent events and the heightened security drills across the nation following Operation Sindoor.
The multiplex chain PVRINOX had moved the court challenging its producers' decision to release it on Prime Video directly. PVRINOX Limited (PVRINOX), Maddock Films Pvt. Ltd. (Maddock), and Amazon MGM Studios have reached an understanding and now the movie will be released in theatres on May 23, 2025.
'As our surroundings begin to heal, we're especially grateful to offer a theatrical experience for a film that speaks from the heart. In these times, when family means everything, we urge audiences to head to theatres with their loved ones, share a laugh, reflect on life, and enjoy a story that, we hope, brings joy.
Haldi se aage badhegi Ranjan ki gaadi?
Full on Bhasad lekar aa rahi hai yeh shaadi! ✨
New date, same madness — rukawat ke liye #BhoolChukMaaf 🙏
Get ready for a family entertainer that's packed with fun, laughter, and all the feels.
In cinemas on 23rd May. pic.twitter.com/uqnZqlUU4q — Maddockfilms (@MaddockFilms) May 15, 2025
"We're also incredibly thankful to our exhibitors as partners for their continued support, flexibility, and commitment to theatrical storytelling. The release environment has changed for the better, and we're proud to collaborate once again with them for our film's release," Vijan said in a statement.

Kamal Gianchandani of PVRINOX said they remain deeply committed to the theatrical experience. "We fully understand and respect the challenges faced by the team at Maddock Films in finalising the release of Bhool Chuk Maaf. We are thankful for their continued faith in the theatrical model and their decision to bring this film to audiences where it truly belongs - in cinemas. Their support reinforces the strong bond between content creators and exhibitors, and we look forward to a successful release," Gianchandani added.
Bhool Chuk Maaf, directed by Karan Sharma, revolves around a soon-to-be-married man who realises that he is stuck in a time loop and keeps reliving the day before his wedding.

Filmmaker Vikram Sugumaran dies of cardiac arrest while travelling
Acclaimed Tamil filmmaker Vikram Sugumaran has died at the age of 47 after suffering a cardiac arrest during a return trip from Madurai to Chennai. Sources close to the director revealed that Sugumaran was travelling by bus after a work meeting in Madurai, where he had just narrated a new script to a producer.

IPL Final: Shankar Mahadevan to pay tribute to Indian armed forces with sons at closing ceremony
Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], June 2 (ANI): Ace musician Shankar Mahadevan is all set to give a musical tribute to the Indian armed forces at the closing ceremony of IPL 2025. On Tuesday, Shankar will be joined by his sons Siddharth and Shivam for the special performance, which is scheduled to be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad before the start of RCB vs PBKS match. Expressing happiness on receiving this chance, Shivam on Instagram wrote, 'See you at the FINAL tomorrow (red heart emoji)What an honour this is !!!! #IPLFINAL #TRIBUTE #SSSLIVE #IPL.' Notably, Operation Sindoor was India's decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Launched on May 7, Operation Sindoor led to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen. After the attack, Pakistan retaliated with cross-border shelling across the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir as well as attempted drone attacks along the border regions, following which India launched a coordinated attack and damaged radar infrastructure, communication centres, and airfields across 11 airbases in Pakistan. After this, on May 10, an understanding of the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan was announced. The IPL 2025 was suspended for one week due to the tensions between India and Pakistan. The matches resumed from 17 May across six venues, and the final was rescheduled from 25 May to 3 June. (ANI)
