Bhool Chuk Maaf OTT Release

On Thursday (May 8, 2025), the makers of Bhool Chuk Maaf announced that due the current situation in the country, they have decided to release the film directly on Amazon Prime Video, and it will start streaming from May 16, 2025.

The statement shared by the team read, "In light of recent events and the heightened security drills across the nation, we at Maddock Films and Amazon MGM Studios have decided to bring our family entertainer, Bhool Chuk Maaf, directly to your homes on May 16 - only on Prime Video, worldwide."

It further read, "While we were eagerly looking forward to celebrating this film with you in theatres, the spirit of the nation comes first. JAI Hind."
