Bhool Chuk Maaf Box Office Collection Day 1: Rajkummar Rao, Wamiqa Gabbi Starrer Makes Surprising Start, Kapkapiii And Kesari Veer Fall Flat

Bhool Chuk Maaf made a shocking start at the box office with an earning of Rs 6 plus crore on Day 1. Starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, the film did better than expected despite a legal battle before release.

Directed by first-time filmmaker Karan Sharma and backed by Maddock Films, the film faced delays due to a dispute between the producers and distributors. Many expected a modest opening of under Rs 5 crore. But ticket offers and strong fan support helped it go beyond.

According to industry tracker Sacnilk, this time-loop comedy earned over Rs 6.75 cr net on the opening day. Let’s not forget that the makers rolled out smart and unrealistic discount offers like they did during Sky Force, which gave the film an extra boost on opening day. In comparison, rival releases Kapkapiii and Kesari Veer failed to grab attention and ended up with poor numbers.

Reviews for Bhool Chuk Maaf were mixed. Audiences praised the performances, but some found the storyline lacking. Still, the film features strong names like Sanjay Mishra, Raghubir Yadav, Seema Pahwa, and Zakir Hussain, which may help it hold through the weekend.

The film might end its first weekend with a total of Rs 14 crore to Rs 18 crore, based on early trends. Sources say the film will stream on OTT just two weeks after its theatrical release. That could affect its long-term collection in cinemas.

Kapkapiii Box Office Collection Day 1

Tusshar Kapoor and Shreyas Talpade’s horror-comedy Kapkapiii had a disappointing start. It earned just Rs 0.26 crore on its first day. The film had limited screens and tried to attract viewers with Buy-One-Get-One deals, but that didn’t help much.

Produced by Bravo Entertainment and distributed by Zee Studios, the film got decent word-of-mouth. But the late director Sangeeth Sivan’s final project still couldn’t pull crowds. The team hopes that it picks over the weekend.

Kesari Veer Box Office Collection Day 1

Kesari Veer performed even worse than Kapkapiii. Starring Sooraj Pancholi, Suniel Shetty, Vivek Oberoi, and Akanksha Sharma, the historical drama hardly earned only Rs 0.25 crore. Audience turnout remained poor despite its star-studded cast.

Backed by Chauhan Studios, Kesari Veer was meant to relaunch Sooraj Pancholi’s career. But weak buzz and average reviews pulled it down. The film lacked the spark to stand out in a crowded release week.

Well, Bhool Chuk Maaf is destined to lead this box office race. Kapkapiii and Kesari Veer struggle to keep up, and the coming weekend will decide if they stay or get kicked out of the theatres.
