Bhool Chuk Maaf has arrived on OTT.
Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi’s lighthearted romantic drama Bhool Chuk Maaf faced a rollercoaster of events before reaching its audience. Originally scheduled for release on May 9, 2025, the film was pushed back amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan. Due to the volatile situation, the makers considered bypassing cinemas altogether and launching the film directly on a streaming platform. However, in an unexpected move, cinema chain PVR Inox filed a legal case, resulting in the film hitting theatres after all — with a revised release date of May 16, 2025.

Remarkably, less than a month later, the film has landed on digital platforms — defying the conventional eight-week window that separates theatrical releases from OTT premieres. Bhool Chuk Maaf is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video in Hindi. Despite not making headlines with its box office earnings, the film steadily gained appreciation and is now being recognized as a quiet success. Its rapid digital release has sparked even more conversation, with many viewers discovering its charm online.

Plot Overview:

Set against the spiritual and vibrant backdrop of Varanasi, the narrative centers around two star-crossed lovers — Titli Mishra and Ranjan Tiwari. Eager to tie the knot, their dreams hit a hurdle when Titli’s father, Brijmohan, sets a strict requirement: Ranjan must secure a government position before marriage can proceed. Determined to fulfill this demand, Ranjan vows to perform a good deed if his wish is granted. However, he ends up acquiring the job through dishonest means, with help from a man named Bhagwan.


The story takes a mysterious turn during the wedding festivities. On the 29th, as the haldi ceremony unfolds with joy, everything seems perfect. But when Ranjan wakes up the next morning, he is startled to find himself reliving the same day. Caught in a strange time loop, he experiences the haldi day over and over again, unable to move forward to the wedding on the 30th.

Even with modest box office collections compared to blockbusters, the film performed strongly. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Bhool Chuk Maaf has garnered a worldwide gross of ₹83 crore — a commendable figure that further solidifies its reputation as a sleeper hit. Its mix of romance, time-loop fantasy, and moral reflection has resonated with viewers both in theatres and now online.
