They say time stops for no one, but in Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi’s starrer ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’, the protagonist finds himself stuck in a loop where time (well, it doesn’t stop) but keeps repeating and re-lives his ‘haldi day’ over and over again! And it appears the audience is enjoying this time loop; this tragedy, which is comedy for cinephiles, has helped the movie maintain a steady box office performance. According to Sacnilk, after a 10-day run at the theatres, ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’ has come closer to the Rs. 60 crore mark in India.
