The romantic comedy “Bhool Chuk Maaf”, starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video India on June 6, 2025, following its theatrical release on May 23, 2025.
🎬 About the Film
Set in Varanasi, the film follows Ranjan, a hopeless romantic who secures a government job to marry his girlfriend, Titli Mishra. As they prepare for their wedding, a bizarre time loop occurs, with Titli being oblivious to it, repeatedly resetting the day to the Haldi ceremony, leaving Ranjan stuck in the frustrating world of a time loop.

⚖️ Legal Controversy and Release Strategy
Originally slated for a theatrical release on May 9, 2025, the film’s producers, Maddock Films, decided to release it directly on Amazon Prime Video on May 16, citing national security concerns due to escalating India-Pakistan tensions. This abrupt change led to a legal dispute with PVR Inox, which had a contractual agreement for an eight-week theatrical window. The Bombay High Court intervened, halting the OTT release and mandating a theatrical release first.
Subsequently, all parties reached a compromise: the film would release in theaters on May 23, 2025, and stream on Amazon Prime Video two weeks later, on June 6, 2025.
