Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi starrer Bhool Chuk Maaf has recently been in the news for its release controversy. Last week, Maddock Films, released a statement where it mentioned that the makers have opted for an OTT release of the film due to the current atmosphere in the country. The film was supposed to hit the screens on May 9, 2025.
This decision met with disapproval from the exhibitors, PVRINOX, and they moved the Bombay High Court challenging the producers' decision. The court halted Bhool Chuk Maaf's OTT release till the issue was resolved. Now, PVRINOX Limited (PVRINOX), Maddock Films Pvt. Ltd. (Maddock), and Amazon MGM Studios have come to an understanding and decided to release the film in theatres on May 23, 2025.
Dinesh Vijan, founder of Maddock Films, in a statement said, 바카라As our surroundings begin to heal, we바카라re 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.
We바카라re 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 we바카라re proud to collaborate once again with them for our film바카라s release".
Kamal Gianchandani of PVRINOX said, "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. Their support reinforces the strong bond between content creators and exhibitors, and we look forward to a successful release".
