The upcoming family comedy Bhool Chuk Maaf, which promises to blend comedy with a time loop twist, will mark Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao’s big-screen comeback. On May 9, 2025, the film—which also features Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi’s debut on-screen partnership—will be released. Just two days before its premiere, the mid-budget film, which was directed by Karan Sharma and produced by Maddock Films, began accepting advance reservations today.

Bhool Chuk Maaf, positioned as a humorous small-town film, is generating a respectable amount of pre-release buzz. Although other supporting materials have not yet gained much traction, the trailer and the catchy remix of the song Chor Bazaari have garnered a respectable amount of online attention. However, the new concept of a time loop in a family setting gives the movie a unique twist and, with positive word-of-mouth, might turn into a surprise hit.

Rajkummar Rao, who is renowned for his adaptable performances and success in unconventional parts, most recently starred in Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video with Triptii Dimri, which debuted at the Indian box office with a net opening of Rs 5.50 crore. The enormous popularity of Stree 2 came before that release. Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, another film of the same genre, made a respectable Rs 6.75 crore net on its first day of release. Industry analysts anticipate Bhool Chuk Maaf to open in a comparable range in line with current trend.

However, the film’s box office performance will be contested by recently released films that are drawing large crowds, such as Marvel’s Thunderbolts and Raid 2. Lastly, the film’s long-term success will rely on post-release audience reaction and word-of-mouth advertising.
