Bhool Chuk Maaf Box Office Collection Day 11: Rajkummar Rao-Wamiqa Gabbi film earns Rs 62.82 crore, will finish strong in last three days of its theatrical release

Bhool Chuk Maaf Box Office Collection Day 11: Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi's Bhool Chuk Maaf is certainly making a mark during its limited theatrical run. Released on May 23 in the theatres, the film was expected to struggle because of its unique two-week run at the theatres before it starts streaming on OTT. Consisting of only two weekends, this kind of run limits the power of the word of mouth and doesn't provide the film with the chance of making some real money. The film, however, has managed to do well in the circumstances.
Directed by Karan Sharma, the film has already gone past films such as Shahid Kapoor's Deva that had an India net collection of just Rs 33.9 crore, while John Abraham's much awaited The Diplomat earned Rs 40.73 crore. Bhool Chuk Maaf, with the 'time-loop' conflict at the centre of its narrative, has managed to overshadow all these films, including some more that were released this year, and the makers will be hoping for a strong finish. The occupancy rates maintained an average of 10%, with the morning and afternoon shows bringing in 5.27% and 11.78%, respectively, while the evening and night shows achieved 11.06% and 12.47%.

The reason why the remaining three weekdays are even more crucial for the film is that new competitors will be entering the arena right as it makes its exit. The Mani Ratnam directorial Thug Life, starring Kamal Haasan, will be releasing on June 5, and the ensemble comedy Housefull 5 is releasing on June 6. Thug Life marks the return of Ratnam and Haasan coming together, while Housefull 5 has a cast which is bound to chew away a big chunk of Bhool Chuk Maaf's audience. The cast of Housefull 5 includes Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Sonam Bajwa, Jacqueline Fernandez, Jackie Shroff, and Nana Patekar.
Bhool Chuk Maaf might have been able to draw some audiences to the theatres while competing with the two aforementioned movies, but that question will remain unanswered as the film will be released on Prime Video on June 6, ending its theatrical run. Initially due to the recent India-Pakistan conflict, the makers of the film had decided to launch the film straight to OTT, but multiplex group PVR INOX intervened with a lawsuit. Post the legal action, Maddock Films decided to have this one-off two-week theatrical run.

The company's board has also approved an over 71 per cent increase in his current remuneration to $18.6 million (about ₹154 crore) for the next financial year, according to the company's annual report.

Vijayakumar's earnings also topped those of Wipro CEO Srinivas Pallia ($6.2 million or about Rs 53.64 crore) and Tech Mahindra CEO Mohit Joshi (₹53.9 crore).

The largest portion of his earnings came from long-term incentives, with exercised Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) valued at $6.96 million. An additional $0.20 million was provided in benefits and perquisites. Vijayakumar, who took over as the CEO in 2016, is based in the US and draws his remuneration from HCL America Inc., the firm's wholly-owned US subsidiary. "Under C. Vijayakumar's leadership, HCLTech's market capitalisation has increased from ₹1,15,000 crore on March 31, 2016, to ₹4,32,000 crore on March 31, 2025, reflecting a growth of 3.8 times since FY16. Over the same period, the market capitalisation of the other four leading Indian listed IT services firms among the top five has grown by approximately 2.5 times," the company said. The company's board has approved a revised remuneration package for Vijayakumar, effective April 1, 2025. The proposed annual salary is set at $18.6 million, marking a 71 per cent increase from his FY25 earnings. The proposed structure significantly increases both fixed and performance-linked components. "The revised compensation acknowledges C Vijayakumar's successful and long-tenured leadership as CEO, recognising his significant contributions to the company's growth and sustained performance over the years," the report said. HCL Technologies posted a 9.7 per cent drop to ₹3,843 crore in consolidated net profit for the June quarter, hurt by higher expenses and one-time impact of a client bankruptcy, but raised the lower end of revenue growth outlook for the full fiscal to 3-5 per cent (from 2-5 per cent earlier) on booking expectations in coming quarters. Shares of HCLTech settled 0.98 per cent lower at ₹1,452.95 apiece on the BSE on Friday.
