Bollywood's versatile actor Rajkummar Rao is back with a bang in the upcoming romantic comedy Bhool Chuk Maaf. Teamed up with the talented Wamiqa Gabbi, Rao finds himself in an intriguing narrative that takes romance and infuses it with a sprinkle of sci-fi charm. Under the adept direction of Karan Sharma, this film promises audiences a fresh experience that involves a twist many wouldn't expect in a traditional wedding tale.

The plot centers around Ranjan, portrayed by Rao, an earnest lover with a practical streak. Driven by his desire to marry Titali, the love of his life, Ranjan makes a calculated decision to secure a government job—a move many might recognize as a quintessentially 'safe' Indian matrimonial strategy. However, what seems like a clear-cut plan unfolds into a series of unprecedented events when the couple finds themselves spiraling into an unusual predicament.

As the wedding preparations commence, a seemingly small mishap with a flower pot catapults the couple into a bewildering time-loop dilemma. Imagine being stuck in the same haldi ceremony, replaying it over and over again, much like the classic 'Groundhog Day' but with a distinct desi essence. This plot offers immense scope for both humor and heartfelt moments, building on the imperfections and trials tribal to relationships, as the couple strives to break free from their repetitive cycle.

Produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios, Bhool Chuk Maaf reflects Vijan's knack for backing films with unique stories and strong characters. Fans of Rao and Vijan's previous successes, such as Stree 2, can anticipate yet another wining collaboration. While the film promises laughs and touching moments in equal measure, it delves deeper into the notion of destiny, choices, and the endless possibilities time can offer.

Scheduled for a theatrical release on April 10, 2025, Bhool Chuk Maaf is expected to be a visual treat that merges traditional romance with an innovative narrative twist. The release promises to captivate audiences who enjoy genres blending the familiar with the fantastical, and for those interested in seeing how love and the past repeatedly collide under Rao's and Gabbi's excellent chemistry on the big screen.
