Bhool Chuk Maaf box office collection day 1 early estimate: Rajkummar Rao-Wamiqa Gabbi film stares at low opening, earns Rs 4.62 cr
Bhool Chuk Maaf box office collection early estimate: Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi-starrer Bhool Chuk Maaf finally released in theatres today on Friday. The movie, which opened to mixed reviews from critics and the audience, has earned Rs 4.62 crore in India as of 7 pm, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. It is expected to be one of the lowest openers of 2025 so far.
The low box office collection is all the more surprising given that the makers of Bhool Chuk Maaf had offered multiple discounts and slashed ticket prices at multiplexes. The film recorded an occupancy rate of 9.40% for morning shows and 18.26% in the afternoon. The highest turnout was in Chennai, with occupancy reaching 57.00%, according to Sacnilk.

Earlier, the makers of the film announced that it would bypass a theatrical release and premiere directly on Amazon Prime Video, citing escalating Indo-Pakistan tensions. However, several reports suggested that Maddock Films made the decision just a night before the planned release due to extremely low advance bookings. The digital release, originally scheduled for May 16, was delayed after PVR-INOX filed a lawsuit against the makers, claiming losses of Rs 60 crore. The legal dispute has since been amicably resolved. As an exception to standard practice, Bhool Chuk Maaf will now release on OTT within a two-week window.

Directed by Karan Sharma, Bhool Chuk Maaf also features Sanjay Mishra, Zakir Hussain, Anubha Fatehpuria, Raghubir Yadav, and Seema Pahwa. A part of SCREEN's review of the movie read, 'For a long time, Bhool Chuk Maaf looks and feels like the poor man's Brahmastra (remember that one?). A couple prancing up and down Varanasi's ghats and gullies, surrounded by gais, gendas, gurus and the Ganga, and few raised eyebrows. Ultimately, Bhool Chuk Maaf may end up being remembered for all that happened off screen – the confusion between its theatrical and OTT release, and a 'compromise' (which has worried many in the industry) that means that within two weeks, it will be showing on a TV near you.'
