The sci-fi romantic comedy film Bhool Chuk Maaf, starring Wamiqa Gabbi and Rajkummar Rao, is set to make its OTT debut on Amazon Prime Video this Friday, June 6. The film's early streaming release comes after a controversial ₹60 crore lawsuit over its theatrical release. Initially, the makers decided they didn't want a big-screen release due to heightened security concerns, but later released it in theaters on May 23.
Despite facing legal hurdles, Bhool Chuk Maaf has performed well at the box office, grossing ₹58.95 crore in India and becoming the seventh biggest Hindi hit of the year. The film's plot revolves around Ranjan, who is stuck in a time loop on his wedding day and must fulfill a forgotten promise to escape it. The film highlights compassion over ambition, reminding us of the power of kindness in a self-centered society.
The film features Rajkummar Rao, Wamiqa Gabbi, Seema Pahwa, Sanjay Mishra, Raghubir Yadav, and Zakir Hussain in key roles. Bhool Chuk Maaf's OTT release on Amazon Prime Video will allow audiences to experience the film's unique blend of sci-fi and romance from the comfort of their homes.
The lawsuit filed by PVR Inox, demanding an eight-week theatrical window before the film's online streaming release, did not hinder the film's digital premiere. With its successful box office run and upcoming OTT release, Bhool Chuk Maaf is set to reach a wider audience and garner more appreciation for its storytelling and performances.
