Bhool Chuk Maaf BO Day 2: Discounted tickets do wonders for Rajkummar Rao-Wamiqa Gabbi’s movie, earning up 29%

Bhool Chuk Maaf Box Office Collection Day 2: The sci-fi romantic comedy Bhool Chuk Maaf, starring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi, saw an uptick of nearly 29 per cent in its Saturday earnings, thanks to discounted tickets.

Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh said that the movie sprung a big surprise, “exceeding all expectations on its opening day” with ₹7 crore, since the industry projections were way lower.

He highlighted that Bhool Chuk Maaf’s earnings were aided by discounted ticket pricing and “strong spot bookings”.

The time-loop-based Bollywood movie has interestingly outperformed Maddock’s earlier release Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, which had opened at ₹5.49 crore.
