Bhool Chuk Maaf

Bhool Chook Maaf is a Drama - Comedy that'll give you laughs and that is the important things. It's similar to the movies - Bareilly kee Barfi or I can Ayushman Khurana movies. It's the portrayal of small town people that gives the movie a special vibe. Seema Pahwa absolutely nailed this character and it's a no brainer that no one can portray the role of anxious mother like her. Rajkumar is Rajkumar Rao in this movie, but I felt like he was acting - acting rather than a natural performer. I still feel Ayushman Khurana has this desi small town vibes and the role would be better suited to him. Where this movie shines is the character dynamics and the laughs that the conversation between these characters happen. A family movie where you can just relax, and have a fun couple of hours.

This is one of those movies which is just better to watch on OTT rather than going to the theatres.

Its just your average rom-com movie about a rich "daddy's princess" and a poor jobless guy who needs a government job in order to marry the girl, but with a small twist of a time loop which was supposed to be the entire point of the movie, but it really wasn't.

The first half is just spent in the setup of this time loop, when we reach the second part, which is the actual time loop, it just falls off. There were so many aspects left to discover but the movie doesn't discover any. The time loop just feels like a side character who is just there to keep the attention of the viewer and not to make them feel bored.

Speaking about feeling bored, the movie feels kinda slow, taking the entire first half to setup the time loop and not providing any content about the time loop in the second half let's down the viewing experience.

Rajkumar Rao looks good in his role upto the time loop part, he looks bored and not interested in what he is doing. Can't really figure out if it was his acting of just the script. Wamiqa Gabbi shines in being that annoying daddy's princess.

Overall okish watch leaves people disappointed, gives a good message at the end but not good enough to save the movie.

Recently watched the movie Bhool Chuk Maaf, and I must say that it was a big disappointment. The title gave me some hope that the film would be interesting and emotional. But sadly, the story, acting, and direction did not live up to my expectations at all. I want to share why I did not like this movie.

First of all, the story was very weak. It felt like the writers didn't know what they wanted to show. There was no strong plot. The beginning was slow and confusing. The middle part of the movie was even more boring. And the ending didn't make any sense. It looked like the writers just wanted to finish the movie quickly without giving a proper conclusion. The story had many chances to be emotional or powerful, but it failed every time.

Time loop concept combined with same old cliche social commentary! Bhool Chuk Maaf does a great job at presenting its time loop concept although it concludes with same old social commentary monologue at the end which Ayushman and Rajkumar has been doing since a decade now! Comedy is hit and miss sometimes it lands sometimes it doesn't quite fun dinner movie. This genre has hit saturation the makers could have tried with some other ending. Rajkumar is same since his last 3-4 movies. Now I get the whole drama around this movie. Wamiqa is fresh to see on screen but overall felt like seeing same old Ayushman or Rajkumar film.

After watching the trailer I was really excited for the film. Trailer promised a mix of humor, romance, and a touch of magic realism, but after watching the film it left me with mixed feelings. The film was neither bad nor excellent. Rajkummar Rao, as always, is a delight. His comic timing and frustrated-everyman energy carry the film, making you root for Ranjan even when the script falters. Wamiqa Gabbi brings a lively spark to Titli, though her character sometimes feels overly childish, which can grate. The supporting cast-Seema Pahwa, Raghubir Yadav, and Sanjay Mishra-delivers solid laughs. The film's first half is entertaining, with sharp dialogues and a few chuckle-worthy moments, like Ranjan's frantic attempts to navigate the time loop.

However, the movie stumbles in the second half. The time-loop concept, inspired by Groundhog Day, feels underutilized and repetitive without enough clever twists. It takes too long to get to the heart of the story, and the social commentary-touching on merit, morality, and societal apathy-feels forced, especially in a preachy climax that clashes with the film's comedic tone. The romance between Ranjan and Titli lacks depth; their chemistry is decent but never truly sparks. Some jokes, like recurring pregnancy quips, feel outdated and cringe-worthy.

The visuals capture Banaras beautifully, but the music is forgettable, with songs that disrupt the flow rather than enhance it. The resolution, while heartwarming, feels predictable and doesn't fully earn its emotional payoff.

Overall, Bhool Chuk Maaf is a decent movie for fans who love such a small-town comedies. It has moments of charm and humor but gets stuck in its own loop of clichés and uneven execution. If you're looking for a light, no-brainer entertainer, it's worth a shot, but don't expect a masterpiece comedy film.
