Bhool Chuk Maaf box office collection day 10: Rajkummar Rao, Wamiqa Gabbi film inches closer to Rs 60 crore; faces Housefull 5, Thug Life challenge ahead

As per Sacnilk, the current domestic box office collection of Bhool Chuk Maaf stands at Rs 58.85 crore. When it crossed the Rs 50 crore mark over this past weekend, it already surpassed other films of this year, like John Abraham’s The Diplomat (Rs 40.73 crore), the Hindi dubbed version of Ram Charan-starrer Game Changer (Rs 37.47 crore), the re-release earnings of Sanam Teri Kasam (Rs 35.55 crore), and Shahid Kapoor-starrer Deva (Rs 33.97 crore).

On Sunday, Bhool Chuk Maaf had the maximum occupancy in the evening shows (31.65%), followed by the afternoon shows (27.80%), the night shows (18.95%), and the morning shows (9.02%). It scored the maximum occupancy in Chennai (80.67%), followed by Chandigarh (26.75%), Jaipur, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru (26.25%).

Bhool Chuk Maaf’s next target is a tall one — Gopichand Malineni’s action film Jaat, starring Sunny Deol, which earned Rs 90.34 crore at the domestic box office. However, given its current trajectory, it’s highly unlikely the film will get even close. It only has four weekdays before its exceptionally early digital premiere on Prime Video India this Friday on June 6.

Also, other tentpole films like Akshay Kumar-starrer whodunit comedy Housefull 5 and the Hindi dubbed version of Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam’s crime thriller Thug Life will hit cinemas on June 6 and June 5 respectively. These would further thwart Bhool Chuk Maaf’s chances of growth at the box office.

Last month, leading multiplex chain PVR INOX had moved the court challenging Maddock Films’ decision to release Bhool Chuk Maaf on OTT instead of theatres due to the heightened national security concerns amid the India-Pakistan conflict. PVR Inox alleged a breach of contract by Maddock Films.

As per the agreement dated May 6, the film was to release in cinemas across India on May 9 and would not be released on OTT or any other platform for a period of eight weeks thereafter. But the producers terminated the agreement just a day before the release and announced an OTT release on May 16.

Later, it was agreed that Bhool Chuk Maaf will first release in cinemas on May 23. As a one-off case, it’ll then release on Prime Video India just two weeks later on June 6. The usual window between theatrical and streaming release is eight weeks.
