Mumbai, June 1 — Rajkummar Rao’s quirky time-loop comedy ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’ continues to win hearts and cash registers alike, emerging as a surprise hit of the season. Despite stiff competition from big-ticket releases like Ajay Devgn’s ‘Raid 2’ and Suniel Shetty’s ‘Kesari Veer’, the film has maintained its box office momentum. On Day 9 (Saturday), the film witnessed a healthy surge in footfalls, collecting an impressive ₹5.15 crore, according to early estimates by Sacnilk.
A Strong Weekend Push
Having released on May 23, 2025, the Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi-starrer opened with positive reviews from both critics and audiences. The film’s fresh concept, tight screenplay, and Rao’s impeccable comic timing have clearly struck a chord with moviegoers.
On Saturday, buoyed by the weekend and strong word of mouth, the film turned into a box office rocket, drawing larger audiences despite competition. Its Day 9 collection of ₹5.15 crore marks a noticeable uptick compared to the previous weekday figures.

The film’s humorous narrative, layered with time-travel elements and emotional undertones, is appealing across age groups, a factor that could keep multiplex occupancy stable.
Rajkummar Rao’s performance continues to be the film’s standout element, drawing praise for effortlessly balancing absurd comedy with heartfelt moments. Co-star Wamiqa Gabbi has also earned accolades for her charming presence and chemistry with Rao.
Competition at the Box Office
Even with ‘Raid 2’ holding strong in mass circuits and ‘Kesari Veer’ launching this weekend, Bhool Chuk Maaf has carved its own niche. Its performance so far suggests a good hold through the second week, especially if mid-week drops are contained.
If the film maintains its trajectory, it may soon enter the elite club of surprise box office successes of 2025.
