About ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’The story is set in the holy city of Banaras, where we meet Ranjan, played by Rajkummar Rao.
He’s head over heels in love with Titli, played by Wamiqa Gabbi, and wants to marry her. But there’s a catch—he believes he must land a government job first.Things get tricky when Ranjan breaks a promise made to Lord Shiva, and suddenly, his life turns upside down. He finds himself stuck in a time loop, repeating the same day again and again. What follows is a funny, touching journey filled with second chances, spiritual lessons, and the importance of doing the right thing.What the reviews say‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’ has had mixed feedback from critics, but many agree it’s an entertaining watch. The ETimes review gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and noted, “The first half takes a bit too long to get to the point with innumerable songs added for no rhyme or reason. Humour is largely clean and safe if you excuse the occasional ‘tatti jokes’. It’s the second half that changes the game. It is here that the film addresses growing apathy, isolated existence, and self-centric living.
