'Bhool Chuk Maaf' Movie Review: Rajkummar Rao
Jun 12, 2025, 02:26 IST

Rajkummar Rao, the chameleon of Bollywood, once again steals the show with his brilliant act in Bhool Chuk Maaf, which is a nicely blended mix of comedy, drama, and self-discovery. This heartwarming comedy, directed by Karan Sharma and released in June 2025, is not only funny but also gives life lessons.
Plot that Hits Chords
Bhool Chuk Maaf is the story of a small-town teacher, Rishi (acted by Rajkummar Rao), who has a large heart but a tragic past. Feeling guilty about a mistake that changed his life, Rishi tries to apologize to the people he offended. His odyssey is mixed with emotional confrontations and unexpected moments of humor and is streaked with a current of redemption.
Forgiveness, as the title implies, is a central theme of the film, to seek it and to give it, and thus, it is a film that many people can easily relate to and find emotionally powerful.
Direction and acting: The Perfect Mix
As intended, the soul of the film is Rajkummar Rao. His maturity as an actor is revealed in the manner in which he portrays an imperfect, lovable man. The large cast, including Divyendu Sharma, Bhumi Pednekar, and Supriya Pathak, makes the story colorful and substantial.
Director Karan Sharma perfectly balanced the light scenes and the emotional burden and did not over-preach the movie. It has a tight script, and the dialogue is what you remember, even when the credits roll.
Music The cinematography
The music in the background, written by Amit Trivedi, perfectly meshes with the atmosphere of the movie, particularly the song “Maafi Ka Safar”, which has already become the number one in emotional playlists. Cinematographer Avinash Arun, using warm, earthy hues, takes the pulse of rural India, which reflects the honesty of the story.
Judgment: A Feel-Good Drama Who Can Resist?
Bhool Chuk Maaf is not a film. It is an experience, as it goes to show that mistakes are a part of life, but the big heart to rectify them is what matters. It is an entertaining yet reflective film in which Rajkummar Rao gives one of the best performances of his career.
Rating: (4/5)
Watch it because of Rajkummar Rao, who gives one of his best performances, and a terrific message about forgiveness.
