The film faced stiff competition from Suniel Shetty and Sooraj Pancholi’s Kesari Veer, which has struggled to make an impact with ₹25 lakh on day one and ₹26 lakh on day two. Additionally, major Hollywood releases Final Destination Bloodlines and Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning have been drawing bigger crowds compared to many Bollywood films this year.
Despite the challenges, Bhool Chuk Maaf has outperformed Rajkummar Rao’s recent films, including Srikanth, Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, and Mr. & Mrs. Mahi. However, it still lags behind blockbusters like Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh and Sunny Deol’s Jaat.
Directed by Karan Sharma, Bhool Chuk Maaf also stars Sanjay Mishra, Zakir Hussain, Anubha Fatehpuria, Raghubir Yadav, and Seema Pahwa. After its two-week theatrical run, the film will stream on Amazon Prime Video.
A review excerpt from SCREEN noted, “For a long time, Bhool Chuk Maaf looks and feels like the poor man’s Brahmastra. Ultimately, it may be remembered more for its quick OTT release and the confusion it stirred within the industry.”
