Wamiqa
Gabbi
and
Rajkummar
Rao
in
Bhool
Chuk
Maaf.
In
its
second
weekend,
Bhool
Chuk
Maaf
has
scored
a
half
century
at
the
box
office.
The
film
did
well
in
its
first
week
when
it
scored
Rs
45.41
crore
(Rs
454.1
million).
After
that,
there
were
signs
that
it
would
sustain
over
the
second
weekend
too.
Firstly,
it
had
stayed
stable
during
the
weekdays.
Secondly,
there
was
no
new
notable
release
last
weekend.
So
the
stage
was
set
for
the
film
to
perform.
As
a
result,
while
the
second
Friday
collections
came
to
Rs
3.31
crore
(Rs
33.1
million),
there
was
good
growth
on
Saturday
as
Rs
5.40
crore
(Rs
54
million)
came
in.
Sunday
held
well
too
with
the
Rs
6
crore
(Rs
60
million)
mark
being
crossed,
as
a
result
of
which
the
10-day
total
stands
at
Rs
60.12
crore*
(Rs
601.2
million).
This
is
a
good
total
so
far
because
before
its
release,
even
half
of
its
lifetime
collections
seemed
challenging,
especially
when
there
was
just
a
two-week
theatrical
window
available
before
its
OTT
release.
But
audiences
did
step
in
to
watch
the
film
in
theatres
from
the
very
first
day
and
the
content
turned
out
to
be
decent
enough
to
sustain.
By
the
close
of
the
second
week,
the
film
will
come
close
to
the
Rs
70
crore
(Rs
700
million)
mark
though
a
huge
dip
will
be
seen
for
two
reasons.
First,
Housefull
5
arrives
with
5,000+
screens
for
itself.
Secondly,
Bhool
Chuk
Maaf
will
be
available
on
OTT
and
hence
audiences
may
prefer
to
watch
the
film
in
the
comfort
of
their
home.
Nonetheless,
Bhool
Chuk
Maaf
has
emerged
as
a
reasonable
success
at
the
box
office.

in
Chidiya.
Last
week’s
release
Chidiya
opened
without
any
promotion
or
marketing.
It
saw
a
token
arrival
at
a
few
centres
and
its
overall
weekend
at
the
box
office
was
under
Rs
25
lakh.
