The matching mood and ambience for haldi-yellow colour theme at the PVR-Juhu theatre premises was pre-set. Because there were yellow flowers streamer- garlands all around. Most of the invitees and news-media were all happily wearing shades-of-yellow colour dresses.

This was requested in advance at the spectacular trailer launch on April 10th, late afternoon of the latest Maddock Films ‘fun-tastic’ trailer Bhool Chuk Maaf. Which is a time-loop-bound crazy pre-wedding haldi-hungama comedy starring charismatic Rajkummar Rao and gorgeous Wamiqa Gabbi, Located in Varanasi, talented director Karan Sharma’s film is built around a chaotic nuptial nightmare: Ranjan (Rajkummar), ahead of his wedding to Titli (Wamiqa), gets stuck in a time- loop, perennially waking up on the day of his Haldi ceremony. The centre-of-distraction at the media-event was charming Wamiqa, as she was wearing a beautiful saree with titli ( butterflies ) patterns.

After winning hearts with Skyforce and Chhaava, Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films is back with a fresh, chaotic, and charming love story - Bhool Chuk Maaf. Which has a common-man-connect. The trailer for this heartwarming romantic comedy ( a bhasad-waali shaadi ?) is finally here, offering a glimpse into a world where one man’s perfect day turns into an endless loop of chaos. Directed and written by Karan Sharma, Bhool Chuk Maaf pairs Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi for the very first time - bringing together irresistible chemistry, quirky storytelling, and the soul of small-town India.

Set against the colorful backdrop of sacred Varanasi city, the film follows Ranjan, a hopeless romantic who manages to land a government job to win over his love, Titli. But just before the wedding, everything goes hilariously wrong. Trapped in a single day that keeps repeating, Ranjan must figure out what went wrong, why Bhagwan Shivji-Mahadev hits the pause-button on his life, and what it will take to set things right.

From the makers of Luka Chuppi and Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, and mega-hits Stree and Stree 2, the entertainer movie Bhool Chuk Maaf is a delightful blend of humour, emotions, and fate’s unexpected twists.

Interacting with the news-media, modest versatile sentimental star actor Rajkummar Rao (of super-hits ‘Stree’ and ‘Stree 2’ fame) shared that he was grateful to his loyal fans and cinema audiences for accepting him in such common-man ‘relatable’ lead roles. and stories Disclosing that the ‘late’ brilliant actor Irrfan Khan was among his personal favourites as inspiration, Rajkummar said he was still learning and growing in his career as an actor,” said the 2014 landmark movie ‘Queen’ lead actor and Srikanth (2024) lead actor Rao who has completed 15 years (in 2025) as a Bollywood actor.
Bhool Chuk Maaf

Meanwhile the exuberant actress Wamiqa Gabbi “was delighted that she got to act ( first-time) with Rajkummar Rao and with the prestigious Maddock Films banner. Also she was very happy acting in ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’ where she got to act in a quirky comedy role. Because she felt that acting in comedy movies and making audiences laugh heartily, is much more difficult that doing emotional scenes, and this would prove her versatile acting talent. She also mentioned that in real-life, she has no plans of getting married and that her mind is blank regarding matrimony options,” :

Incidentally, besides Rajkummar and Wamiqa, the supporting cast comprises powerful popular actors like Sanjay Mishra, Raghubir Yadav, Seema Pahwa, and Zakir Hussain

As ‘showman’ producer Dinesh Vijan shares, “Traditional and folklore storytelling is at its best when it comes from the heart of India. At its core, Bhool Chuk Maaf explores the two biggest small-town pressures: finding the right bride and securing a decent job. Chokri aur naukri, as we say. Ranjan and Titli are madly in love but caught between the very real tussle of love and naukri, as they navigate the expectations of their heart that wants romance, and of the family that wants a reliable paycheck. Layered with humour, deep human emotions and the beautiful traditional values of nek karya, this film will make you laugh, maybe even cry, and most of all, believe in love and life again.” Bhool Chuk Maaf marks the third release for Maddock Films this year after the success of the Akshay Kumar-starrer Sky Force and last week's release, Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal. The film is set to be released in theatres on May 9.

Director Karan Sharma adds, “It’s a highly-relatable story dressed up in comedy, confusion, and a lot of traditional sentiments and emotions. But at the same time, at its core, Bhool Chuk Maaf is about self-reflection hidden within chaos. We’ve taken a unique and fun idea, but grounded it in relationships, family, and faith - the things that define all of us. It’s a film I want all Indian and NRI families to watch together. And enjoy the content” says Karan. who says he has specially added a "nostalgic-tadkaa" towards the last few minutes of the 'BCM' trailer with this evergreen background retro- filmy song 'Pyar hamen iss modh pey le aaya " beautifully blending into the crazy comedy movie scenes

Presented by Dinesh Vijan (Madddock Films) in association with Amazon MGM Studios, Bhool Chuk Maaf promises to be this year’s most unexpected ride through love, time, and everything in between.
