Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi have surpassed all odds, including mixed reviews, as they attract massive footfalls to theatres. The sci-fi romantic comedy Bhool Chuk Maaf is shining bright amid the mid-week blues. Check out the latest box office collections on day 5.

How much has Bhool Chuk Maaf earned in India?

According to the official figures, Bhool Chuk Maaf garnered 5.10 crores on day 5. Tuesday was almost 11% better than the first Monday, which is a very good sign. The discounted ticket prices boosted the box office collections, and one could say Karan Sharma’s directorial is very much on the right track.

The 5-day total at the Indian box office concludes at 38.41 crore net, which is around 45.32 crores in gross earnings. Bhool Chuk Maaf is now chasing the 50 crore net mark, and there are chances it could clock the half-century within its first week.

Bhool Chuk Maaf has knocked it out of the park on its opening day. Maddock Films has done it again! They seem to have mastered the art of attracting audiences to theatres even after a low pre-release buzz. Rajkummar Rao has scored the 2nd highest-opening of his lifetime. Scroll below for day 1 box office collections!

How much did Bhool Chuk Maaf earn on day 1 in India?

Karan Sharma’s directorial was competing with Raid 2, Kesari Chapter 2, Kapkapiii, and Kesari Veer. Despite the congested ticket windows, it managed to attract massive audiences with special offers on online booking platforms like BookMyShow. As per the official figures, Bhool Chuk Maaf earned 7.20 crores on day 1.

Trade analysts were worried that Bhool Chuk Maaf may not even cross the 5 crore mark on its opening day. But clearly, Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi...

Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbir starrer Bhool Chuk Maaf has released in theatres worldwide today. Unfortunately, the early reviews were mixed. Given the entire mess around theatrical/ Ott release, there was fear that the sci-fi romantic comedy would open below the 5 crore mark. But it has surpassed expectations. Scroll below for day 1 early trends at the Indian box office.

Bhool Chuk Maaf Day 1 Early Estimates

Karan Sharma’s directorial arrived in theatres in a direct box office clash with Kesari Veer and Kapkapiii. It remained the #1 choice of audience in advance booking. With morning occupancy of 9.40%, Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi starrer made a promising start at the ticket windows.

It would be safe to say that Bhool Chuk Maaf managed to beat the negative word-of-mouth on the opening day. The promotional offers on BookMyShow and other online-booking platforms definitely helped boost earnings.

Rajkummar Rao is returning to what he does best – comedy! The official trailer of Bhool Chuk Maaf, co-starring Wamiqa Gabbi, received positive reviews. Unfortunately, the sci-fi romantic comedy fell into the lap of controversy over its theatrical vs Ott release. Scroll below for day 1 potential!

When and where is Bhool Chuk Maaf finally releasing?

Bombay High Court has resolved the fiasco between Maddock Films and PVR Inox. Bhool Chuk Maaf will now officially release in theatres on May 23, 2025. However, the entire drama, from theatrical release to direct-to-ott and then back to theatres, has definitely left the viewers confused. It has impacted the pre-release buzz.

Do Patti (Two Cards) is a film with an identity crisis, in that neither director Shashanka Chaturvedi nor writer/co-producer Kanika Dhillon seem to be entirely sure of its primary instinct.

Is it a twisted tale of identical twins, one good and one bad? Or is it one more hill station mystery? (For some reason, streaming platforms seem enamored with these — think of Netflix’s Aranyak or Mrs. Serial Killer, Voot’s Candy or ZEE5’s Rautu Ka Raaz. Perhaps the hope is that the beauteous mountain views will distract from the bumpy storytelling.)

Is this an impassioned plea against domestic violence, or a courtroom drama in which it’s difficult to decide who played whom? Is it an exploration of the nature of justice, and of whether the letter of the law or the spirit of the law is more important?

Do Patti attempts to be all of these,...

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is celebrating her birthday on Saturday. Over the years, Kangana has created a niche for herself because of her performances. The actress boasts of 4 National Awards and 1 Padma Shri. While she is set to make her 2nd directorial with her upcoming film ‘Emergency’, it’s some of earlier works that continue to charm the audience. The vintage Kangana, who once absolutely ruled the hearts of both the mass and the class audience, is something else. The kind which inspires a generation of actresses with her works.

As the actress soaks in the celebrations of her 37th birthday, here are 5 of her performances in her earlier films that have left a fine imprint:

‘Gangster’: The actress made her debut at the age of 19 with ‘Gangster’. While the film received a positive response from the audience for its music and storytelling, it was Kangana’s performance which...

Kangana Ranaut praises Deepika Padukone’s Oscars appearance after depression dig. Deepika Padukone introduced SS Rajamouli’s Naatu Naatu performance at the 95th Academy Awards — and Kangana could not hold back praising the star.

Kangana’s praise on Deepika comes a few years after she took an indirect dig at the latter. In 2020, on World Mental Health Day, Kangana had asked her fans to watch her film, Judgementall Hai Kya. She had also tweeted, “The film that we made for Mental Health awareness was dragged to the court by those who run depression ki dukan, after media ban, name of the film was changed just before the release causing marketing complications but it’s a good film, do watch it today.”

Last year, a journalist asked Kangana about her opinion on an influencer shaming Deepika for her ‘hemlines and necklines’ during the Gehraiyaan promotions. Kangana replied, “Look, I am here...

Writer Kanika Dhillon has an interesting line-up of upcoming films. But even with a packed schedule, Kanika says can very well work round the clock if she has to. The writer’s works ‘Manmarziyaan’, ‘Judgementall Hai Kya’, ‘Kedarnath’ and ‘Haseen Dillruba’ have earned her much acclaim. “Doing good work is not only an adrenaline booster for […]...

Amrita Puri's debut Bollywood role in the 2010 release Aisha got her noticed, and although she has been applauded for her performances in films like Kai Po Che! and Judgementall Hai Kya since then, she has largely remains underrated.

Amrita has once again garnered positive reviews and audience applause for her role in the new web series, Jeet Ki Zid. Taking a pragmatic line, the actress says it is tough to find a balance between quality and quantity in the Hindi film industry.

"I think it is tough to maintain visibility with quality work. Quantity wise, it is possible. If we look at the kind of work that is out there, even on Ott platforms, most of the stories are male-centric, where the part of a female character is not quite unique and well written. So to find a space where you get to play a character that satisfies an actor like me is limited.

Did Kangana Ranaut just take an indirect dig at someone? Seems like it, if you consider what Kangana has to say while opening up in a new tweet on the controversy that surrounded her 2019 release, Judgementall Hai Kya.

Kangana tweeted on the occasion of World Mental Health Day on Saturday.

"The film that we made for Mental Health awareness was dragged to the court by those who run depression ki dukan, after media ban, name of the film was changed just before the release causing marketing complications but it's a good film, do watch it today," Kangana tweeted, and shared a clip of the film.

"Judgementall Hai Kya", which also features Rajkummar Rao, was initially titled "Mental Hai Kya". The original title, however, was deemed insensitive by many, forcing the makers to change it.

Deepika's The Live Love Laugh Foundation was among the organisations that condemned the title and poster...

Bollywood Curiously, Kangana, who has never worked with Sushant and was not in his close friends’ circle, has been the most vocal about the suicide.Sowmya RajendranOver a month since actor Sushant Singh Rajput took his life in his Bandra home in Mumbai, the controversy regarding his death has snowballed into nothing short of a war in Bollywood. Curiously, actor Kangana Ranaut, who has never worked with Sushant and was not in his close friends’ circle, has been the most vocal about the suicide. Kangana, who on Koffee With Karan famously slammed Karan Johar for promoting nepotism in Bollywood, has been leading a campaign against 'unfair practices' in the film industry. Though the actor does not have a handle of her own on Twitter, and her sister and manager Rangoli Chandel's account was deactivated on the social media platform for communal remarks, her views are being posted by a 'fan'...

Acclaimed actor Rajkummar Rao, who has completed a decade in the Hindi film industry, says it has always been his endeavour to be part of inspiring cinema.

Rajkummar made his Bollywood debut with filmmaker Dibakar Banerjee's "Love Sex Aur Dhokha". He was then seen in films like "Kai Po Che!", "Shahid", "Queen", "CityLights", "Aligarh" and "Trapped". The actor was last seen on screen in "Judgementall Hai Kya"

About clocking ten years, Rajkummar said: "I am glad that in the course of my decade-long journey, I had the honour of working with some of the best minds in the Hindi film industry. It had always been my endeavour to be part of inspiring cinema."

The 35-year-old star said that he is "very happy that for ten years filmmakers trusted me with their vision and placed their bets on my humble talents.

One of South Indian cinema's most-loved on-screen couple is Anushka Shetty and Prabhas. Ever since they played the king and queen in the ''Baahubali'' franchise, their fan following has only increased. Very often fans have also expressed the wish that the two were in a relationship.

In a recent interview to an agency, Anushka has put an end to all rumours. "I have known Prabhas for over 15 years now and he is one of my 3 a.m friends. We are usually linked up because both of us are not married and make an amazing on screen pair. Had there been anything between both of us, it would have been out by this time. Both of us are the same kind of people who don't hide any emotions if we are involved," said Anushka.

After grabbing attention for its interesting award nominations and winners’ list last year, Critics’Choice Film Awards are back again with even more intriguing nominations spread across eight Indian languages.

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut feels instead of treating sex as a taboo topic, parents should encourage their wards to have responsible sex.

"Sex is an important aspect of everyone's life. When you want sex, just have it. Don't be obsessed.

My parents were shocked when they find out I was sexually active. Parents should encourage children to have sex,...

She has been variously tagged the "Queen" of Bollywood, "box-office dynamo" and "one woman army", and habitually takes on Bollywood's bigwigs. Three-time National Award winning actress Kangana Ranaut makes no bones about ruling the industry with her craft, and says she always wanted to be somebody who is not a hero's sidekick.

Kangana ventured into the sparkling world of cinema as a teenager with filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's "Gangster" in 2006. Years later she would feature in movies that she has carried on her shoulders, such as "Queen", the "Tanu Weds Manu" franchise and "Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi".

The much touted Independence Day (Rakshabandhan as well) clash between Mission Mangal and Batla House turned out to be a tame affair, with the Akshay Kumar starrer dominating John Abraham?s film comprehensively.

In fact, the opening day numbers will be the best ever for an Akshay Kumar starrer, as we await the final numbers. Having said that, Batla House has garnered immense critical acclaim and the outcome will not be as one sided as the opening day indicates and things will become clear once the festivities end.

Checking out last week?s premier release, ?Siddharth-Parineeti?s Jabariya Jodi and ?Seven Hillss Cine Creations Productions? Chicken Curry Law, after an ordinary start for JJ and a poor opening for Ccl, things went from bad to worse and both the films have failed to entice the audience.

For the stat conscious, Jabariya Jodi will end up at around 18 crore (estimated) during the opening week,...

The premier release of the week is Siddharth-Parineeti?s Jabariya Jodi and should dominate the proceedings, thanks to some crisp teasers and good promotion. The other new releases include Seven Hillss Cine Creations Productions? Chicken Curry Law as well as a couple of smaller projects, which will have to play second fiddle to Jabariya Jodi.

Checking out last week?s ?T-Series venture Sonakshi Sinha?s Khandaani Shafakhana, the film could not make mark despite being an open release, netting just 3 crore during the inaugural weekend.

Director Prakash Kovelmudi's film JudgeMentall Hai Kya, which has received immense critical acclaim, was screened for the ministers at the prestigious Rashtrapati Bhavan last weekend.

The Central Board of Film Certification received a request to from the Rashtrapati Bhavan to arrange a special screening of the much-talked-about film JudgeMentall Hai Kya. The movie was specially screened for the honorable ministers and the other staff members of the Rashtrapati Bhavan on August 4, 2019.

Interestingly, JudgeMentall Hai Kya was also screened at The Film Division of India's office in Delhi on August 3 for some other political figures and dignitaries. Needless to say, the film received a positive response from all the viewers present at the screening.

The prominent new domestic release of the week, T-Series? Sonakshi Sinha?s Khandaani Shafakhana, could not quite make a mark at the box-office with an occupancy of around 10 percent. In fact expectedly it was Hollywood?s Fast and Furious : Hobbs and Shaw (dubbed) which dominated the show with an occupancy of around 35 percent, but a much better performance was expected as F and F is a very popular franchise. It is thus obvious that Hollywood will comprehensively dominate Bollywood yet again, as we await the final outcome.

Meanwhile the two major releases of last week, Balaji Motion Pictures? Kangana Ranaut-Rajkummar Rao starrer ?Judgementall Hai Kya and ?T-Series? Diljit Dosanjh-Kriti Sanon spoof Arjun Patiala, did not find much favour from the audience. Having said that Judgementall Hai Kya ?(28 crore) dominated Arjun Patiala (7 crore) comprehensively during the opening week, but it is still not good enough.

In fact it was Hollywood?...

With Siddharth-Parineeti?s Jabariya Jodi being postponed by a week, T-Series? Sonakshi Sinha?s Khandaani Shafakhana will now have an almost open release. The other releases alongside are Akshayshe Khanna-Richa Chaddha?s Section 375, M.S Films andTeam?s Chase-no Mercy To Crime and Sudhanshu Jain Ruslan Mumtaz-Rashmi Singh starrer Romeo Idiot Desi Juliet. However, the winner yet again is likely to be Hollywood?s Fast and Furious : Hobbs and Shaw both in the original and dubbed version.?

Checking out last week?s two prominent releases, Balaji Motion Pictures? Kangana Ranaut-Rajkummar Rao starrer Judgementall Hai Kya and T-Series? Diljit Dosanjh-Kriti Sanon spoof Arjun Patiala , while the former did manage a 20 crore weekend the latter could just about touch 5 crore mark during the same period. Needless to say that Judgementall Hai Kya can still harbour some hopes but Arjun Patiala faces total rejection.?

Kangana Ranaut versus Rajkummar Rao in an epic murder plot produced under Balaji Motion pictures is the tag line to recently released film Judgementall Hai Kya. Two power actors, both of whom are able to hit new heights with every character they play, go the next level in this film written by Kanika Dhillon and directed by Prakash Kovelamudi. The music for this film presents a unique challenge: there is obsession, but there is no love and most certainly no love lost between the “hero” and “heroine”. So, a team led by Taniskh Bagchi and featuring Divine (from Gully Boy) come together to create 5 songs, to support this strange tale.

The album opens with Navv Inder and Lisa Mishra on The Wakhra Song. For those into Punjabi pop, this is a remake of the song the singers did with Baadshah but with a full-time club beat. Also, as a change-up,...

A Hungarian visual artist named Flora Borsi has accused the makers of Rajkummar Rao-Kangana Ranaut starrer "Judgementall Hai Kya" of plagiarism. Borsi said that posters of the film bear inspiration of her trademark style, and said such plagiarism of a freelance artist's work was shameful.

Borsi on Monday shared the image of an original artwork of hers, which has a girl's close-up with a cat on one of her eyes. Makers of "Judgementall Hai Kya" had recently released a poster featuring Kangana with a cat in a similar pose, and one of Rajkummar poster with a rat instead of a cat on his eye.

The release date of actors Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra-starrer "Jabariya Jodi" has been postponed for the fourth time. The film will now hit screens on August 9.

"Jabariya Jodi" was first scheduled to release on May 17 but was pushed to July 12 when Hrithik Roshan-starrer "Super 30" released. It was then pushed again for August 2 release.

Sources close to the makers of the film say that the decision was taken after considering that there are too many releases on August 2 and previously released films like "JudgeMentall Hai Kya" are enjoying a solid run.

Adding to that, exhibitors across India came together and requested the makers to move ahead to August 9 to avoid clutter. "Jabariya Jodi" will now enjoy a solo release.

Directed by Prashant Singh, "Jabariya Jodi" is based on 'Pakadwa Vivah' (forced marriage), which was once rampant in Bihar.

But "Super 30", based on the life of mathematician Anand Kumar who trains students for Iit-jee in Bihar, did not see the light of the day on that date due to pending production work after director Vikas Bahl was named in the #MeToo movement.

Later, it was rescheduled for a July 26 release.

There is no screen that is untouched and unconquered by the content queen Ekta Kapoor who has spread her wings with a diverse range of genres, over the years. Ekta Kapoor who is been hailed throughout these years for her content and razor-sharp business acumen has shared the mantra for her success.

In a recent interaction, Ekta Kapoor shared, "There is no better way to grow rather than to be ambitious, enough to have better people work for you than you, and I swear that can happen that your own ego will come in the way. It will come in the way at times when you actually feel like, you want to level with them and say if you don't do the job, I will do it myself and I will do it better. But then you realize that if you are going to do their job, the you won't...

Actor Shahid Kapoor says he is hopeful that his forthcoming film Kabir Singh will get a U/A certificate from the Censor Board.

Shahid, Kiara Advani and the makers of the film launched the trailer of Kabir Singh, a remake of the 2017 Telugu film Arjun Reddy. The film is laced with foul language and shows alcohol and drug abuse.

The film is yet to be certified by the Central Board of Film Certification.

Shahid said: "We are hoping to get a U/A certificate. We don't know whether we will get it or not. There is only belief that there is no reason for us not to get the U/A certificate. It is important that today we are able to tell stories honestly without sugar coating."

"I think audiences are mature enough to understand that and censors should give into that. There is nothing in the film which is off-putting.

Actor Rajkummar Rao is looking forward to collaborate with Janhvi Kapoor for the first time in "Rooh-Afza", a horror comedy.

So, I think we will have a lot fun while shooting for the film. It is a very quirky script and I am looking forward to be with her."

"I have decided to shift the release date of my film Super 30 in order to save myself from the personal trauma and toxic mental violence this would cause," Hrithik said in the statement posted on Twitter.

"Despite the film being ready, I have requested my producers to shift and announce the next suitable date as soon as possible," added the actor, who has had a personal clash with Kangana in the past.

Soon after, Kangana issued a statement commenting on "Hrithik's sympathy playing games".

Kangana Ranaut is indeed one of the most fearless actors in the industry, and does not refrain from speaking what?s on her mind. She is one of the very few who have managed to carve a niche in Bollywood without any connections, and has been instrumental in calling out nepotism. Therefore, it doesn?t come as a surprise when Tara Sutaria, who is all set to make her debut with Karan Johar?s production, Student of the year 2, called Kangana her role mode.

Tara Sutaria also hails from a non-film background, and during the promotions of SOTY2, during in interaction, she said that being an outsider, she respects Kangana Ranaut and considers her as a role model. When asked a reason for the same, Tara said that Kangana had achieved everything on basis of her talent, without any support whatsoever. An being an upcoming actor, she felt that Ms.

The film industry must exercise caution and be more sensitive in its messaging, irate psychiatrists have said in reference to the title and posters of the upcoming Hindi film Mental Hai Kya?, featuring popular actors Rajkummar Rao and Kangana Ranaut. Experts across the country aren't the least amused with the title and a newly-released poster which depicts the artistes trying to balance a razor sharp blade between their tongues.

Taking their ire a step further, the Indian Psychiatric Society (Ips) on Thursday wrote to the Central Board of Film Certification (Cbfc), raising "serious objections" to the film's title.

"We take serious objections to the title of the movie, which is discriminative, stigmatising, degrading and inhuman in projecting mental disorders and persons who suffer mental disorders. We strongly demand the title to be removed with immediate effect preventing further damage to the modesty of mental health service users," read the letter.

The Zee 5 original film Badnaam Gali is set to release on May 10.?
