Watch: Same plot, new bottles
This week on FOMO Fix, Sudhish Kamath breaks down Bhool Chuk Maaf — the latest entry in the overdone time-loop genre that ironically forgets to be original.
Also on the episode:
TV Gold:
Taylor Sheridan's Landman — where oil meets fire and Billy Bob Thornton holds it all together. If Yellowstone was your vibe, this one is worth drilling into.
Heads Up:
Vijay Sethupathi stars in Ace, a film that tries to bluff with comedy, action, and a heist — but doesn't quite have the right cards.
Retro Ride:
Mohanlal's Thudarum revs up old-school action with Ilaiyaraaja music and raw nostalgia — but don't expect Drishyam-style twists.
PSA:
JJ Abrams throws it back to the '70s with Duster, where fast cars, FBI agents, and blue suede shoes collide.
👁🗨 Watch, skip, or wait — Sudhish Kamath is your binge guide, your designated driver through the noisy streets of content chaos.
This is FOMO Fix, brought to you by The Hindu.

The latter features a star cast including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Bajwa, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff. The makers of Bhool Chuk Maaf had initially announced a direct-to-digital release on Prime Video, following the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor.

In A Nutshell Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi's Bhool Chuk Maaf has collected Rs 47.25 crore at the Indian box office in its first week and is likely to cross Rs 50 crore soon.
