Bhool Chuk Maaf Opts for Direct-to-OTT Amid India–Pakistan Tensions

In a dramatic pivot, Maddock Films has announced that their upcoming sci‑fi romantic comedy Bhool Chuk Maaf will no longer premiere in cinemas on its originally slated May 16 theatrical release. Citing the sudden escalation along the India–Pakistan frontier, producers have opted for a same‑day digital launch on Prime Video, ensuring audiences can safely stream the film from May 16, 2025.

Helmed by Karan Sharma, Bhool Chuk Maaf blends high‑tech wonder with heartfelt small‑town romance. Rajkummar Rao stars as Ranjan, an inventive Banaras engineer who builds a quantum device to keep a sacred vow to Lord Shiva—and to win the affections of Titli, played by Wamiqa Gabbi. When his gadget malfunctions, Ranjan hurtles through parallel realities, leading to laugh‑out‑loud encounters with alternate selves, cosmic mishaps, and a race against time to restore both his promise and his love.

Producers stressed that with border tensions forcing restrictions on public gatherings, a theatrical rollout posed too great a risk. CEO of Maddock Films Dinesh Vijan said, Ensuring everyone’s safety while preserving the movie’s uplifting energy is our top concern. Early festival cuts in Dubai and London have already drawn praise for playful special effects, razor‑sharp comedy, and the leads’ sparkling chemistry.
