The creators of Maddock Films, showcasing Rajkummar Rao alongside Wamiqa Gabbi, have finally unveiled the trailer of their eagerly anticipated movie, Bhool Chuk Maaf. With a runtime of nearly three minutes, the trailer intricately explores the storyline where Rajkummar’s character, Ranjan, finds himself ensnared in a time loop just a day before his wedding to Wamiqa’s character, Titli. This intriguing premise brings forth questions about the origin of the time loop and Ranjan’s journey to escape it, as their impending marriage encounters an unexpected twist.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Varanasi, the trailer begins with a humorous scene that perfectly highlights Rajkummar Rao’s exceptional comic timing. Here, Ranjan is seen engaging with Titli’s family, trying to win over her father. The condition set for their marriage is straightforward: Ranjan must secure a government job before their wedding day, prompting him to visit a temple to have his wish granted.
The storyline then transitions to their attempt at the haldi ceremony, which seems never-ending for Ranjan, who wakes up repeatedly on the 29th, eagerly looking forward to the wedding on the 30th, a day that never arrives. Trapped in this time loop, Ranjan alone is aware of the repetition, while Titli remains blissfully ignorant. As he attempts to break free, the situation descends into a series of chaotic and comedic mishaps, threatening to thwart their wedding plans.
Among the trailer’s audience, reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. One enthusiastic fan remarked, “Maddock content day by day 📈📈 Rajkumar Rao acting skill 🔥.” Another noted the studio’s unique offering, saying, “Maddock films like – Pura saal Bas hum rahenge baki sab jao tel lene 🔥🔥🔥🔥.” A different fan pointed out, “In the age of violent films, a fresh breath of comedy or rom-com is always a big relief.”
Expressing admiration for Rajkummar Rao’s versatility, another fan commented, “Perfect script for Rajkumar Rao. He can do a single scene in multiple ways as he has shown in various interviews. This movie will have multiple such occasions, as scenes and encounters repeat ❤.” A viewer encapsulated the excitement, stating, “Yaar, yeh trailer dekh ke lagta hai mere dimaag ka switch high gear mein chala gaya! Full on twist aur comedy ka fusion—bas ab dekhna hai, yeh dhamaka aage kahan tak jata hai! ❤❤😂😂.”
The film Bhool Chuk Maaf, helmed by director and writer Karan Sharma, is positioned as a heartwarming romantic comedy that unfolds in the bustling streets of Varanasi. This charming small-town narrative continues to find favor in Bollywood, resonating with audiences due to its relatable theme. Produced by Dinesh Vijan, renowned for hits like Stree 2, Luka Chuppi, and Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, the film is a collaborative effort with Amazon MGM Studios.
This movie represents Maddock Films’ third release of the year, building on the success of Sky Force, starring Akshay Kumar, and last week’s release of Chhaava featuring Vicky Kaushal.
