In a surprising turn of events, the theatrical release of Bhool Chuk Maaf, a romantic comedy backed by Maddock Films, has been canceled just days before its scheduled debut. The decision comes in the wake of escalating geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan, which have created an atmosphere of uncertainty surrounding public gatherings and cross-border content sensitivities.

According to reports, PVR Inox has filed a lawsuit demanding ₹60 crore in damages, citing breach of release agreements. Industry insiders note this could set a precedent for how films are handled in politically sensitive times, especially those tied to regional narratives or diplomatic backdrops.
While many viewers are happy about the early online availability, others lament the missed big-screen experience. The film's producers have yet to release an official statement regarding the streaming platform or date.
