Bhool Chuk Maaf to Release Directly on OTT amid National Concerns –

Bhool Chuk Maaf to Release Directly on OTT:

In a recent development, Maddock Films has announced that their upcoming film, Bhool Chuk Maaf, starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, will forgo a theatrical release in favor of a digital premiere. Citing recent events and heightened security drills across the nation, the makers have opted to prioritize public safety. The film will now be released on May 16 on the OTT platform. Following Operation Sindoor, the atmosphere across the nation has changed, and it was unlikely to be favorable for the film.

This unexpected but considerate move reflects the studios’ commitment to national sentiment and audience well-being. While the cast and crew were looking forward to a grand theatrical launch, the decision underscores that the spirit and safety of the nation come first.

The spirit of the nation comes first! 🇮🇳

In light of recent events and the heightened security drills across the nation, we at Maddock Films and Amazon MGM Studios have decided to bring our family entertainer, Bhool Chuk Maaf, directly to your homes on May 16—only on Prime Video, worldwide. While we were eagerly looking forward to celebrating this film with you in theaters, the spirit of the nation comes first. JAI HIND.
