Wamiqa Gabbi Reveals What Imtiaz Ali Messaged Her Before Bhool Chuk Maaf Release
Last Updated: Wamiqa Gabbi, in an exclusive interview with News18, spoke about how she felt when director Imtiaz Ali went out of his way to send wishes to her before the release of her film. Wamiqa Gabbi has impressed us with her exceptional portrayal of Titli in Karan Sharma's Bhool Chuk Maaf opposite Rajkummar Rao, who plays the character of Ranjan Tiwari. The film is set in Banaras and involves a time loop, where Rao's character keeps waking up to the day of his haldi ceremony. The sci-fi comedy film sees Gabbi take up the challenge to transform into a small-town girl, who is fiery, yet childlike in nature. It is the first time she has explored comedy as a genre. However, what makes Bhool Chuk Maaf more special for Gabbi is the end credit song that was recreated by Tanishk Bagchi for the film. The makers decided to go with Chor Bazaari Phir Se, which is a remix from Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles. What many don't know is that Gabbi was one of the background dancers in the original track. And she feels that life has finally come to full circle with the remix now. Talking exclusively to News18 Showsha, she said, 'Pata nahi kaisi feeling hai yeh (I don't know what kind of feeling is this). I didn't know I would feel like this. But this is something that I've been feeling, and it's overwhelming. Never thought this would happen. Sometimes people say manifest, but meine kabhi manifest sochke manifest nahi kiya. I was always thinking about things like these. And it's happening. It's coming true now. A film with Maddock, with Rajkumar Rao and Karan (Sharma) directing it with such a stellar cast, it's like a dream and now it's coming true." 'I think I realise when my friends are talking about it, when they are sending these long messages and my parents, my father commenting, that's when I'm realising, 'wow, this is a very big deal. Is this true?'" she said. It was a cherry on the cake for Gabbi when director Imtiaz Ali sent his wishes to her too ahead of Bhool Chuk Maaf release. 'He had sent a long voice note [to me]. But in the end he said, 'Poori baat yahan pe khatam hoti hai ki well done Wamiqa'. That was so sweet [of him]. Look, he doesn't have to do that, right? But he just knows what it means to me. So, he will send his wishes. So, it's very overwhelming. I am so glad that I met some really good people in my life and I am working with good people. I think that is the best thing."

The couple dreams of marriage but Titli's father imposes a condition that Ranjan must secure a government job within two months to win his approval. A desperate Ranjan seeks help from a conman who goes by the name of 'Bhagwan' (Sanjay Mishra), to ensure he gets the job placement. When 'Bhagwan' leaves him stranded, Ranjan visits a temple and prays before a Shivling, vowing to perform a good deed in exchange for the government job. Miraculously, he lands the government position and gets engaged to Titli. His life however takes a serious turn when he gets trapped in a time-loop, reliving the same pre-wedding day again and again. Ranjan soon realizes that escaping the loop requires him performing the good deed that satisfies the promise he made. The film follows Ranjan's journey to discover the good deed that can help him get out of the time loop. Can Ranjan break free from the loop and marry Titli? What exactly is the good deed that can set him free from the curse? Watch Bhool Chuk Maaf to find out. What Works for Bhool Chuk Maaf Bhool Chuk Maaf 's greatest strength lies in its simplicity and its small-town charm. It captures the quirks of the everyday life of a middle class family of Banaras, breezily, making it relatable for those who enjoy grounded, heartwarming stories.

Additionally, the supporting cast, consisting of Raghubir Yadav, Sanjay Mishra and Seema Pahwa, injects infectious energy to the simple story. The climax portion hits the heart and it doesn't ever feel preachy or forced. What Doesn't Work for Bhool Chuk Maaf Despite its promising premise, Bhool Chuk Maaf falters in its execution of the time-loop concept. The idea of a repetitive day has a lot of scope but the film doesn't explore it that well. The first half of the film drags, taking too long to establish the story. While the comedy is a strength, not all jokes land, and some feel forced. The narrative also lacks novelty as it treads through a well-trodden path, without offering enough twists to go beyond what is expected out of the film. Barring these issues, Bhool Chuk Maaf classifies as a reasonable lighthearted flick. Watch the Bhool Chuk Maaf Trailer Performances in Bhool Chuk Maaf Rajkummar Rao delivers a natural and effortless performance as Ranjan. He is very lovable in the film.
