Bhool Chuk Maaf is a Hindi romantic drama movie released in theatres on 9th May 2025. The film stars Vicky Kaushal and Triptii Dimri in the lead roles. It is directed by Rajeev Kapoor and produced by Dharma Productions. The story of the film is about love, forgiveness, and how people learn to correct their mistakes in relationships. It shows the emotional journey of two lovers who try to understand each other after going through pain and confusion.
The movie got mixed reviews from both the audience and critics. Some people liked the emotional storyline, music, and acting performances. However, others felt that the story was slow and predictable. On IMDb, the film got a rating of 6.5 out of 10, which means it was liked by some, but not by everyone. News websites like Hindustan Times and Times of India gave it 3 stars out of 5.
Even though the film had good actors and a strong production team, it did not perform very well at the box office. It had tough competition from other movies that were already running in theatres, like Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan. Because of this, the audience turnout was low in the first few days.

Hit or Flop Verdict:
When we decide whether a film is a hit or flop, we look at how much it earned compared to its budget. If the film earns more than its budget, it is called a "hit." If it earns less, it is a "flop."
In the case of Bhool Chuk Maaf, the film earned ₹29 crore worldwide, but the budget was ₹35 crore. This means the film could not recover its full cost from theatres. Even though it may earn some extra money from OTT (online platforms) and satellite TV rights, the theatrical business is not strong.
So, the final verdict for Bhool Chuk Maaf is Flop. It failed to perform well at the box office, even with a strong cast and emotional storyline. The film’s slow pace and tough competition in theatres are the main reasons behind its failure.
Bhool Chuk Maaf was a film that had an emotional story and talented actors. It tried to connect with the audience through a message of forgiveness and love. However, the film’s performance at the box office was below average. It received mixed reviews and faced heavy competition from other films.
The India net collection of ₹18.25 crore and worldwide gross of ₹29 crore could not match the budget of ₹35 crore. So, the film did not make a profit in theatres. While it may do better on OTT platforms, the box office result is clear – Bhool Chuk Maaf is a flop.
