Rajkummar Rao is back with another unique role in the upcoming family comedy Bhool Chuk Maaf, slated to hit theatres on May 9, 2025. The film marks the first collaboration between Rajkummar and Wamiqa Gabbi, and promises a quirky twist with its time loop narrative. Produced by Maddock Films and directed by Karan Sharma, this mid-budget entertainer is already creating moderate buzz online, with advance bookings officially opened today.
Maddock Films’ Signature Small-Town Flavor
Bhool Chuk Maaf follows the tradition of Maddock Films’ content-rich small-town stories, but adds a fresh element of sci-fi comedy. The trailer and the remixed Chor Bazaari song have grabbed attention, though other promotional content hasn’t gone viral. As a result, the film enters its release week with decent but not overwhelming pre-release hype.

Box Office Outlook: What to Expect
Given Rajkummar Rao’s track record in similar genres, expectations are cautiously optimistic. His previous outing, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, opened at ₹5.50 crore, following the massive success of Stree 2. Another recent release, Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, managed ₹6.75 crore on its opening day. Bhool Chuk Maaf is predicted to open in the ₹5-6 crore range, though final numbers may depend heavily on word-of-mouth and public reception.
