After much anticipation, ‘Bhool Chook Maaf’ has finally hit theatres. Originally planned for a direct release on Prime Video, the makers decided to give the film a proper two-week theatrical run before it lands on OTT.
Running for 2 hours and 1 minute, this light-hearted film is filled with humor, emotional moments, and a meaningful message for families. The dialogues are written in a way that easily brings a smile to your face. Let’s take a look at how the film performed in its first four days at the box office.
Box Office Collection So Far
On its opening day (Friday), ‘Bhool Chook Maaf’ collected ₹7 crore. This was followed by ₹9.5 crore on Saturday, and then the numbers peaked on Sunday, with a strong collection of ₹11.5 crore.

On the fourth day (Monday), based on early estimates, the film collected around ₹4.75 crore. With this, the total collection after four days stands at ₹32.75 crore.
This is being considered a decent performance, especially for a family entertainer without heavy action or commercial appeal. The data is based on early trade estimates.
Budget, Screens, and Expectations
‘Bhool Chook Maaf’ was released on 4,000 screens across India. The film has a reported budget of ₹60 crore. According to industry expectations, if the movie crosses the ₹60 crore mark, it will be considered a hit. If it earns around ₹50 crore, it will be marked as average at the box office.
Comparison With Other Releases
Let’s compare how Kesari Veer and Kapkapi, which released alongside ‘Bhool Chook Maaf’, performed in their first four days.
Kesari Veer 4-Day Box Office Report
- Day 1: ₹25 lakh
- Day 2: ₹30 lakh
- Day 3: ₹35 lakh
- Day 4: ₹18 lakh
Total collection: ₹1.08 crore
Kesari Veer faced a massive drop of 48.57% on Day 4, and based on the reported budget of ₹50 crore, the film is now being seen as a disaster. Some experts suggest its actual budget may be between ₹30 to ₹35 crore. Even then, with a target of ₹60 crore to be a hit, it’s far from reaching that goal.
It was released on 1,000 screens across India.
Kapkapi 4-Day Box Office Report
- Day 1: ₹15 lakh
- Day 2: ₹20 lakh
- Day 3: ₹25 lakh
- Day 4: ₹15 lakh
Total collection: ₹75 lakh
Tushar Kapoor’s Kapkapi has shown disappointing numbers. Even after a slight improvement on Day 3, the film saw another drop on Day 4. It was also released on 1,000 screens and has a budget of around ₹25 crore.
For Kapkapi to be called a hit, it needs to earn more than ₹35 crore. If it crosses only ₹25 crore, it will be labeled average. So far, its collection has remained extremely low, and its success looks doubtful.

Final Thoughts
‘Bhool Chook Maaf’ has clearly taken the lead among the recent releases. With a 4-day total of ₹32.75 crore, it has comfortably outperformed Kesari Veer and Kapkapi, both of which are struggling to stay afloat.
If the momentum continues, Bhool Chook Maaf is likely to enter the hit zone within its first two weeks. It combines entertainment, strong writing, and family-friendly content, which seems to be striking the right chord with the audience. All eyes are now on the weekend collections, which could further decide its box office fate.
