Rajkummar
Rao
and
Wamiqa
Gabbi
in
Bhool
Chuk
Maaf.
It
was
a
good
weekend
for
Bhool
Chuk
Maaf
as
the
film
collected
Rs
28
crore*
(Rs
280
million)
at
the
box
office.
Not
many
would
have
expected
such
a
number
from
this
film,
which
was
originally
scheduled
to
arrive
earlier
this
month.
In
fact,
when
it
was
later
decided
that
the
film
would
release
on
OTT
just
two
weeks
after
its
new
release
date,
it
seemed
pretty
certain
that
it
would
fold
up
rather
quickly.
What
happened
at
the
theatres
was
totally
unexpected
as
not
only
did
the
film
take
a
good
start
on
Friday
but
also
grew
on
Saturday
and
sustained
on
Sunday.
It
opened
at
Rs
7.20
crore
(Rs
72
million),
much
more
than
what
was
expected
from
it.
On
Saturday,
the
film
benefitted
from
positive
word-of-mouth,
which
resulted
in
Rs
9.81
crore
(Rs
98.1
million)
coming
in.
Sunday
went
a
bit
higher
as
the
Rs
10
crore
(Rs
100
million)
mark
was
crossed.
The
Rajkummar
Rao-Wamiqa
Gabbi
starrer
is
now
assured
to
hit
the
half
century
mark
in
its
second
weekend.
In
regular
circumstances,
a
Rs
75
crore+
(Rs
750
million)
number
would
be
expected,
which
means
as
a
male
lead,
Rajkummar
Rao
would
have
had
his
biggest
earner
till
date
after
the
Stree
movies.
But
the
two-week
OTT
window
means
that
there
is
uncertainty
around
how
the
film
will
keep
getting
screens,
once
it’s
also
streaming
digitally.
