The trailer for Bhool Chuk Maaf, starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, has just been released, and it promises a refreshing take on the time loop genre, infused with comedy, emotion, and family drama. Written and directed by Karan Sharma, the movie introduces us to Ranjan (played by Rajkummar Rao), a common man who is deeply in love with his girlfriend Titli (played by Wamiqa Gabbi). Their journey revolves around trying to get married despite familial opposition and societal expectations.
At first glance, the story seems like a typical romantic drama. Two consenting adults are in love and want to get married. The trailer opens with a humorous yet relevant scene where a police officer encourages the couple to marry before they elope again, clearly indicating that this is not their first attempt. But things get more complicated when the families intervene and lay down conditions. Titli’s family insists that Ranjan secure a government job within two months if he wants to marry her, pushing him into a new and stressful challenge.
However, the real twist lies in the film’s core narrative element – a time loop. As the wedding festivities begin, particularly during the Haldi ceremony, the couple finds themselves stuck reliving the same day repeatedly. This unexpected twist brings in elements of chaos, hilarity, and emotional turmoil, as the characters struggle to break free from the loop and make their marriage happen. This blend of a romantic comedy with a sci-fi twist makes Bhool Chuk Maaf stand out from conventional love stories.
The trailer also hints at a deeper commentary on Indian society’s obsession with government jobs as a marker of stability and worthiness, especially in the context of marriage. Rajkummar Rao, known for his grounded acting and ability to bring sincerity to every role, portrays the frustration, anger, and confusion of his character with depth and relatability. Wamiqa Gabbi, too, seems to bring a vibrant energy to the role of Titli, matching Rao’s performance with equal charm.
The film also stars Seema Pahwa in a pivotal role, promising another layer of humor and emotional depth. Produced by Dinesh Vijan under the banner of Maddock Films, the production house has a reputation for backing unique stories (Stree, Bhediya, Mimi) and Bhool Chuk Maaf looks to follow that path.
Set to hit the big screens on May 9, 2025, Bhool Chuk Maaf appears to be a promising summer release for families and young couples alike. It combines the everyday struggles of love and societal expectations with a fun, engaging time loop that keeps the narrative fresh and entertaining. Judging by the trailer, the movie is poised to deliver laughter, drama, and a heartfelt message wrapped in an unconventional storyline.
