With the swift and brave intervention of the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi ji and the Indian Army, peace has been restored. In this renewed atmosphere, the space for storytelling and cinematic expression to flourish has further strengthened. Bhool Chuk Maaf will now release as originally envisioned - as a celebration of cinema, on the big screen. In the spirit of this renewed environment, and following open, constructive discussions with all stakeholders, PVRINOX Limited (PVRINOX), Maddock Films Pvt. Ltd. (Maddock), and Amazon MGM Studios are happy to announce that Maddock Film’s keenly awaited , Bhool Chuk Maaf, will release in theatres on 23 May 2025.
Directed by Karan Sharma and featuring Rajkumar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, Bhool Chuk Maaf is a romantic comedy and a family entertainer. We can’t wait to share this story with audiences around the world in the setting it was created for.
Dinesh Vijan, Founder, Maddock Films, said: “As our surroundings begin to heal, we’re especially grateful to offer a theatrical experience for a film that speaks from the heart. In these times, when family means everything, we urge audiences to head to theatres with their loved ones, share a laugh, reflect on life, and enjoy a story that, we hope, brings joy. We’re also incredibly thankful to our exhibitors as partners for their continued support, flexibility, and commitment to theatrical storytelling. The release environment has changed for the better, and we’re proud to collaborate once again with them for our film’s release.”
Kamal Gianchandani of PVRINOX, added: “We are proud to affirm our deep commitment to the theatrical experience — a cornerstone of Indian cinema culture and the most immersive way to experience storytelling at its finest. We fully understand and respect the challenges faced by the team at Maddock Films in finalising the release of Bhool Chuk Maaf. We are thankful for their continued faith in the theatrical model and their decision to bring this film to audiences where it truly belongs — in cinemas.
