While Wamiqa Gabbi portrays her ditzy yet daring character with flair, Rajkummar Rao delivers a heartfelt performance as Ranjan, a man caught in a bizarre time loop just before his wedding. According to our ETimes review, the supporting cast adds significant authenticity and charm to the film’s setting, while the story delivers a meaningful message disguised in lighthearted, repetitive moments.

Viewers have appreciated the film’s underlying themes and the fun, repetitive time-loop narrative that feels like a series of behind-the-scenes retakes. While the script may not have been groundbreaking for Rajkummar Rao, his performance, along with Wamiqa Gabbi’s, has been well-received. As the weekday numbers roll in, it will be interesting to see if ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’ maintains its momentum and crosses further box office milestones.
