Bhool Chuk Maaf Vs Kesari Veer Box Office Collection Day 4:
According to Sacnilk, Bhool Chuk Maaf collected Rs 4.75 crore on day 4 as per the early estimates. The movie has earned Rs 32.75 crore in total. Meanwhile, Kesari Veer is struggling to attract the audience in theatres and has barely managed to cross Rs 1.06 crore in total.
Bhool Chuk Maaf was earlier in the controversy after the makers decided to release the film directly on OTT. However, PVRInox sent a legal notice to Maddock Films and Pen Marudhar after the makers opted for direct streaming. For the unversed, Maddock Films took the decision of releasing Bhool Chuk Maaf directly on OTT in the light of recent situation and the heightened security drills across the country.
An insider told the publication, “They are not liable to answer anyone. Cinema halls in Jodhpur, and Punjab are shut, whereas the cinema halls in cities like Delhi are non-operational in the night shows. With the cancellation of IPL, it was a no-brainer for the producers to delay the release of Bhool Chuk Maaf. Since the KDM’s were already loaded all across the globe, there was a possibility of piracy too, which pushed the makers to go for a direct-to-digital release without much of a delay.”
The movie was scheduled to release on OTT on May 16 but later arrived in theatres on May 23. Bhool Chuk Maaf will release on Prime Video after theatre. It also stars Sanjay Mishra, Seema Bhargava Pahwa, Zakir Hussain Raghubir Yadav, Ishtiyak Khan, Anubha Fateh Puria, Jay Thakkar and Pragati Mishra seen in the pivotal roles.
Meanwhile, Kesari Veer stars Suniel Shetty, Vivek Oberoi, Sooraj Pancholi and Akanksha Sharma. The movie is written and produced by Chauhan Studios.
