Bhool Chuk Maaf

The trailer was an absolute masterclass in misdirection, essentially serving as a "best of" compilation that front-loaded all the genuinely funny scenes. This created an expectation for a vibrant, laugh-out-loud comedy, which the actual film tragically failed to deliver. Instead, the movie felt drawn out, like a joke with a punchline that never arrived because it was already revealed in the preview.

While the storyline and acting itself had potentia, the presentation was a significant letdown. It was as if the director struggled to weave those strong elements into a cohesive, engaging narrative. The pacing was sluggish, and the lack of fresh comedic moments made the entire experience feel like a deflated balloon after the initial excitement of the trailer. It's a prime example of how clever marketing can inadvertently spoil the product it's meant to promote.

I think it's safe to say some movies are just not worth going to cinema halls, but are good enough to watch on OTT apps at our convenience, and "Bhool Chuk Maaf" is one of those movies.

Though the movie could have had a better story, I appreciate that Bollywood is trying some different ideas. I know there are movies with similar plots or ideas already made, but again, the idea feels fresh, and I am glad that filmmakers are trying something different.

Many shots in the film are amazing and capture the city of Varanasi really well.

The star cast is great, and all have done their jobs well. Rajkummar is again playing a similar kind of role, and he nails it as expected. Wamiqa has done justice to her role, too.

As someone who was stuck in government exam struggles for a long time, I could relate to the movie better. The problem they have addressed is a genuinely huge problem in India.

The story, however, could have been better, as we can easily predict it as the movie picks up pace. The movie's pace doesn't feel right. I think, with an idea rarely touched upon in Bollywood, the movie doesn't do wonders with it.

The biggest disappointment is the songs! All are either directly taken from other old movies or copied from international hits.

I think it is high time Bollywood realized that not every movie needs four or five songs, and it's okay if they don't add them, but it's absolutely not okay to be lazy.

TLDR-A fun concept, good acting, the story could have been better, terrible songs, and definitely a one-time watch.

Bhool Chook Maaf is a Family Drama which also highlights social issues. The movie's plot is based in Varanasi (U. P.). Rajkumar Rao is a brilliant actor supported well by Wamiqa. You will get to see seasoned legendary actors in character roles- Raghubir Yadav, Seema Pahwa, Sanjay Mishra and Zakir Husaain. The film depicts the story of life of typical UP Middle Class families. The costumes, sets and the tones makes the film relatable on screen. Characters lives make you smile and laugh. Post interval, the film becomes even more interesting and hilarious. The ending is lovely. It gives a good message.

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.
