Last Updated:
The film directed by Karan Sharma was initially supposed to be released in theatres on May 9.
Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi's film Bhool Chuk Maaf has finally been released in theatres after much delay. Days before the release, the actor had been on their last round of promotions. They had been interacting with fans as well as performing on stage. In the latest clip, both Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa were seen dancing to the track Sawariya Tera from the film's album.
Rajkummar was seen decked in an all-black ensemble, including a fitted tee, jacket and trousers. Wamiqa, on the other hand, flaunted yet another classy look from her pastel wardrobe. She adorned a pretty green saree with small floral motifs on the drape. She paired it with a one-shoulder red blouse and some traditional bangles.
Bhool Chuk Maaf, directed by Karan Sharma was initially supposed to be released in theatres on May 9. The film, produced by Maddock Films, Amazon MGM Studios and PVR Inox, was then slated for a direct-to-OTT distribution amid cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan recently. But, later, the makers decided to delay the release post the ceasefire, and the new premiere date, May 23, was finalised.
The film is set in Varanasi and follows Rajkummar's character, Ranjan, as he strives to gain the approval of Titli (Wamiqa Gabbi) and her entire family for marriage by taking a government job. Even though the wedding date has been arranged and he wishes to start work as soon as possible, something is awry. On the day of their wedding, Ranjan realises that he is trapped in an infinite time loop. He recognises it, but everyone else, including Titli, is unaware. The plot concentrates upon Ranjan's attempts to break out of this routine. The film also includes Sanjay Mishra, Seema Bhargava Pahwa, Raghubir Yadav, Ishtiyak Khan, Anubha Fateh Puria, Jay Thakkar and Pragati Mishra in key roles.
Wamiqa has an interesting array of projects in the works. She is set to appear in Vinay Kumar Sirigineedi's upcoming spy thriller G2. In addition to G2, Wamiqa has appeared in several films, including Kikli, Iravaakaalam, Genie, Tiki Taka, Dil Ka Darwaaza Khol Na Darling, and Bhooth Bangla. As for Rajkummar Rao, he has a film titled Maalik in his pipeline, scheduled for a theatrical release later in the year.

The film opened to Rs 22 crore on day 1, grew by around 30 percent on day 2 (Bakri Eid) to net Rs 28.5 crore and then grew further on Sunday to add Rs 29.50 crore. The Monday trends of Housefull 5 look promising, setting it up well for the days to follow. Housefull 5, based on early trends, is holding well.

This means that it is likely that Housefull 5 will add around Rs 11 crore on Monday, to take the 4 day total to around Rs 90 crore net. There is a slight spillover demand of the movie from the weekend and that is reflecting in the Monday trends. The performance of the movie over the days to follow shall be very critical since they will help gauge the film's acceptance. The bookings for Housefull 5 have not opened for Tuesday in the PVRInox chain, perhaps because the producers and the top executives of the movie chain are discussing whether to go ahead with the 'Blockbuster Tuesday' offer where tickets are available at Rs 99 to 149 in standard versions, or to stick with the same rates as on Monday. In the past Raid 2 opted out of the 'Blockbuster Tuesday' scheme in the first week and it is to be seen if Housefull 5 does the same. Regardless, Housefull 5 is in contention to be Akshay Kumar 's highest grossing film in the post-pandemic world, as a lead actor. Currently, the actor's highest grossing film post-pandemic is Sooryavanshi with Rs 196 crore net. His highest grossing movie of all time is Housefull 4 with Rs 205.50 crore. It must be noted that Housefull 5 has made a splash at the international box office, grossing Rs 36.50 crore (USD 4.25m) in its 3 day opening weekend. It targets a final number in the Rs 65 crore gross range as things stand for the film. Housefull 5 plays in theatres now. Have you watched the madcap comedy?
