Bhool Chuk Maaf Box Office Day 8: Rajkummar Rao’s Rom-Com Nears Rs 50 Crore Milestone

Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi’s Bhool Chuk Maaf, a time-loop romantic comedy directed by Karan Sharma, continues to charm audiences at the Indian box office. By its eighth day, the film has crossed the Rs 45 crore mark and is poised to surpass Rs 50 crore by the end of its second weekend, showcasing steady performance despite a mixed initial response.

A Steady Climb at the Box Office

Released on May 23, 2025, Bhool Chuk Maaf opened with a respectable Rs 7 crore on its debut day. The film saw a strong weekend, collecting Rs 9.5 crore on Day 2 and Rs 11.5 crore on Day 3, wrapping its first weekend at Rs 28 crore. Despite a slight dip during the weekdays, with collections of Rs 4.5 crore, Rs 4.75 crore, Rs 3.5 crore, and Rs 3.35 crore from Monday to Thursday, the film bounced back on its second Friday, adding Rs 2.5 crore with only a 10% drop from the previous day.

As of Day 8, the film’s total domestic collection stands at an impressive Rs 46.6 crore, inching closer to the Rs 50 crore milestone. Industry trackers predict the film will cross this mark over the weekend, bolstered by positive word-of-mouth and its appeal as a family-friendly comedy.

A Unique Story with Relatable Charm

Produced by Maddock Films, Bhool Chuk Maaf follows the story of Ranjan Tiwari (Rajkummar Rao), a young man from Banaras caught in a time loop, reliving the day before his wedding. Wamiqa Gabbi stars as Titli Mishra, his love interest, in their first on-screen pairing. The film’s lighthearted narrative, infused with relatable humor and a fresh plot, has resonated with audiences. The ensemble cast, including Sanjay Mishra, Raghuvir Yadav, Seema Pahwa, and Zakir Hussain, adds depth and charm to the story.

Despite facing legal hurdles that delayed its release from May 9 to May 23, the film has defied expectations. Its organic success, driven by strong storytelling, has made it a standout in a market dominated by big-budget releases.

Challenges and Future Prospects

While Bhool Chuk Maaf enjoys its theatrical run, its box office journey faces challenges. The film is set to stream on Amazon Prime Video from June 5, which may impact its cinema earnings. Additionally, the release of Housefull 5 on June 6 is expected to compete for screens, potentially limiting its run in the third week. However, with no major releases in the immediate week ahead, the film is likely to maintain steady collections in the short term.

The film’s worldwide collection has already crossed Rs 54 crore, with overseas earnings contributing modestly at Rs 2 crore. Its domestic performance has outshone several recent Bollywood films, including Rajkummar Rao’s own Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video (Rs 27 crore) and Mr. & Mrs. Mahi (Rs 36.34 crore), making it his fifth highest-grossing film to date, behind the blockbuster Stree 2 (Rs 597.99 crore).

Why Bhool Chuk Maaf Stands Out

The success of Bhool Chuk Maaf underscores the power of content-driven cinema. Despite mixed social media buzz before its release, the film has won over audiences with its engaging narrative and Rajkummar Rao’s stellar performance. Social media platforms like X have been abuzz with praise for the film’s humor and heart, with fans calling it a “must-watch” for its fresh take on the rom-com genre.

As the film nears the Rs 50 crore mark, it continues to prove that compelling storytelling can triumph over high-budget spectacles. For fans of Rajkummar Rao and those seeking a lighthearted cinematic experience, Bhool Chuk Maaf is a delightful watch that’s leaving a mark at the box office.
