“Bhool Chuk Maaf ” Skips Theatrical Release, Heads to Prime Video on May 16 Amid India-Pakistan Tensions.
“Bhool Chuk Maaf” (Forgive My Mistakes) – A Time-Loop Romantic Comedy Set in Varanasi. Directed by Karan Sharma and produced by Maddock Films and Amazon MGM Studios, Bhool Chuk Maaf (meaning “Forgive My Mistakes”) is an upcoming Hindi comedy-drama starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi.
The film follows the quirky yet heartfelt journey of two lovers who find themselves trapped in a mysterious time loop—repeating the day before their wedding over and over again. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Varanasi, the story blends romance, humor, and a touch of the supernatural as the couple navigates this bizarre twist of fate.
Originally slated for a theatrical release on May 9, the makers opted for a direct OTT premiere on Prime Video (May 16) due to the rising India-Pakistan tensions, prioritizing national sentiment over box office plans. In a surprising move, Bhool Chuk Maaf, starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, has canceled its theatrical release and will now premiere directly on Prime Video on May 16. Directed by Karan Sharma, the comedy-drama was originally set to hit cinemas on May 9. The decision comes amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, prompting the makers—Maddock Films and Amazon MGM Studios—to prioritize national sentiment over box office prospects.
