Still, with the goodwill of Maddock Films coming into play, the film enjoyed good footfalls and did enough to become a success story. In 13 days, it earned over 65 crore net at the Indian box office.

For the first time in Bollywood, the film arrived on OTT two weeks after the theatrical release. Usually, in the case of Hindi films, there’s an 8-week window between theatrical and digital release. But here, the window was cut short to just two weeks.
Why did the Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi starrer witness a premature OTT release?
Bhool Chuk Maaf was initially planned for a full-fledged theatrical release, but in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, the makers (Maddock Films) decided to skip the big-screen release and opt for a digital release. Following this decision, PVR Inox filed a lawsuit against the makers, accusing them of violating the 8-week window by skipping theatrical release in the eleventh hour.
The Bombay High Court finally settled the matter. The court instructed the makers that they could not skip the theatrical release. However, the window between theatrical and digital release was cut short to 2 weeks, thus finding a middle solution.
