Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi's "Bhool Chuk Maaf," a romantic comedy centered around a time-loop concept, has experienced a significant drop in its box office collections on its fifteenth day, marking its lowest Friday earnings since release. According to early estimates, the film managed to collect around ₹0.50 crore on its fifteenth day in India.
The film had a decent run in its first two weeks, but the release of Akshay Kumar's "Housefull 5" has impacted its performance. "Bhool Chuk Maaf" had an overall 12.81% Hindi Occupancy on Friday, June 06, 2025.
Initial Success and Box Office Performance
"Bhool Chuk Maaf" was released in theaters on May 23, 2025. The movie made ₹7.20 crore on its opening day and ₹28.71 crore in its opening weekend in India. In its first week, the film grossed ₹45.41 crore in India. The film continued to perform well in its second week, earning ₹22 crore. By the end of its fourteenth day, "Bhool Chuk Maaf" had collected ₹68.53 crore net in India. Worldwide, the film has grossed ₹84.05 crore.
Factors Contributing to the Decline
Several factors can be attributed to the film's decline in box office collections on Day 15:
Competition from New Releases: The release of "Housefull 5" has significantly impacted the collections of "Bhool Chuk Maaf." "Housefull 5", a big-budget comedy thriller, has taken away a large chunk of screens across the nation. "Housefull 5" earned ₹23 crore on its opening day. Additionally, Kamal Haasan’s "Thug Life", released on June 5, has also affected the business of "Bhool Chuk Maaf," particularly in the South.
OTT Release: "Bhool Chuk Maaf" began streaming on Amazon Prime Video on June 6, 2025, which may have led some viewers to opt for the convenience of watching the film at home rather than going to theaters.
Overall Performance and Milestones
Despite the recent drop, "Bhool Chuk Maaf" has had a successful run at the box office. It has surpassed the lifetime business of Rajkummar Rao's previous films, such as "Srikanth" and "Mr and Mrs Mahi". The film has become the third highest-grossing film of Rajkummar Rao, behind "Stree 2" and "Stree".
Critical Reception
The film received mixed reviews from critics. Some praised the film's comedy and performances, while others found the storyline to be familiar. Subhash K Jha of News 24 gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5, calling it "fun and funny". Kartik Bhardwaj of The New Indian Express rated the film 2/5 stars, saying that it felt like a "déjà vu".
Final Thoughts
While "Bhool Chuk Maaf" has recorded its lowest Friday collection on its fifteenth day, the film has still managed to perform reasonably well at the box office. The film's success can be attributed to its unique concept, the performances of the lead actors, and the strong backing of Maddock Films.
