The film, helmed by director Karan Sharma and produced by Dinesh Vijan under the Maddock Films banner, revolves around Ranjan (Rao), a lovestruck groom-to-be, and his fiancée Titli (Gabbi). Their wedding plans spiral into chaos when Ranjan gets trapped in a surreal time loop, reliving his haldi ceremony repeatedly.
Praising director Karan Sharma’s work, Adarsh added, “Director #KaranSharma crafts a smart rom-com built around an engaging premise... The screenplay remains tight for the most part, complemented by dialogues that blend wit with wisdom.”

He also noted a few flaws, “The narrative begins to lose momentum in the second half, becoming somewhat repetitive... Even the music – traditionally a strength of #MaddockFilms – falls short this time, with the exception of the catchy #ChorBazaari.”
Adarsh commended the lead performances, writing, “#RajkummarRao shines once again... #WamiqaGabbi is effortless and expressive, lighting up the screen every time she appears. The supporting cast – especially the families and friends – adds value and lends authenticity to the world the film is set in.”

While many found the film heartwarming, not everyone was impressed. User Bipin Singh tweeted, “Bhul Chuk Maaf... Has Maddock Films Become Overconfident? Raghubir Yadav genuinely feels like the real hero of this film. Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, in comparison, seem dull and unimpressive.”

Raghubir Yadav genuinely feels like the real hero of this film.
Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, in comparison, seem dull and unimpressive next to him. Despite being the leads, they fail to leave a lasting impression.…
Another mysterious line caught viewers’ attention, “Ansari Tiwari Bhai Bhai” – a cryptic message that, as some say, only the filmmakers might understand.
User @Zohaib4sweety rated the film 3/5, calling it, “Timepass. Despite being a comedy movie it's not entertaining but it's a good one-time-watchable movie.”

On the other end, @RishirajNa90620 had a more positive take, “A hilarious and super emotional ride #Bhoolchukmaaf is a well made film... @RajkummarRao is outstanding as usual. Maddock has another winner up their sleeves. Watch it and enjoy. Brilliant.”

Film trade analyst Sumit Kadel strongly criticised the film, “#BhoolChukMaaf UNBEARABLE Rating - (1.5). The writing and direction is so poor... The dialogues are outdated, and the concept lacks strength.”

Bhool Chuk Maaf is an extremely weak film. The writing and direction is so poor that although the film tries to be funny throughout, it never actually manages to make you laugh. The dialogues are outdated, and the concept lacks… pic.twitter.com/bJaXLGXor3
He continued, “#RajkummarRao has delivered the exact same kind of performance... It’s high time he breaks out of this repetitive character mold... Overall, Bhool Chuk Maaf is unlikely to work at the box office.”
