Thumbs up, by Subhash k jha, Bolly Spice : ...The performers are all in top form, except for Wamiqa Gabbi, who plays Rajkummar Rao’s love interest on a constantly screechy note. She loves Rao’s character but doesn’t like him. We feel something the opposite for the film.... full review

Thumbs up, DNA : ...Produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films and co-produced by Sharda Karki Jalota, this is a summer release that doesn’t just entertain—it uplifts. Don’t miss this one. It’s not just a movie—it’s a warm, heartfelt storytelling we didn’t know we needed!... full review

Thumbs up, by Devesh Sharma, Filmfare : ...Bhool Chuk Maaf thankfully doesn’t bring divinity into the foreground. The protagonist learns his lesson gradually and completes an arc while going through some really absurd situations. The situational comedy and dialogue, coupled with credible performances, make you accept the time loop anomaly with a pinch of salt.... full review

Thumbs up, by Jaya Dwivedie, India TV : ...If you want to watch a light-hearted and heart-warming film with family this summer, then this is the perfect choice. Produced by Dinesh Vijan, this film is co-produced by Sharada Karki Jalota and written and directed by Karan Sharma. This is one of those films that goes straight to the heart without making any noise. This film is not only worth watching, but it will also stay with you outside the theatre.... full review

Thumbs up, by Rajiv Vijaykar, Komal Nahta : ...Bhool Chuk Maaf belongs to the canon of Bareilly Ki Barfi and similar small-town comedies with a message, and can be savoured as a pleasant watch.... full review

Thumbs up, Movie Talkies : ...Karan Sharma’s direction ensures that the viewer remains invested until the final surprise. His ability to take a complex idea like a time loop and fuse it with a rooted, desi romantic comedy is no easy task—but Karan pulls it off with flair. Overall, it’s a complete family entertainer, a refreshing escape, and a much-needed dose of meaningful cinema in today’s era.... full review

So-So, by Aakash kumar, Filmi Beat : ...On the whole, Bhool Chuk Maaf had an interesting idea and a talented cast, but it fails to deliver a strong story. While it has its moments, the film doesn't leave a lasting impression, as even cracking one-liners couldn't save it. Rajkummar Rao shines, and the second half is enjoyable, but overall, it's a one-time watch at best.... full review

So-So, FirstPost : ...Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi film fail to save a faulty script. As I hate to run down the efforts of any filmmaker, the won’t say that the movie is a complete washout, there are few moments too that can kindle some laughs.... full review

So-So, by Rishabh Suri, Hindustan Times : ...Overall, Bhool Chuk Maaf, a time-loop comedy, ends up stuck in a loop of its own clichés. The only thing harder to escape than a time loop is Rajkummar’s contract with small-town scripts. It tries to be a comedy, flirts with a social message, and ends up being the cinematic equivalent of a WhatsApp forward — familiar, repetitive, and mildly amusing at best.... full review

So-So, by Shalini langer, indian express : ...Yet, this need not have been such a stew of Ghat meets Groundhog Day. There are very many good actors in Bhool Chuk Maaf, starting with Rao, and including several usual suspects that Bollywood casts when it comes to Uttar Pradesh. They serve their own roles well. Gabbi is pretty and proficient, but, sadly, the most half-baked of them. There are also very many scenes which work on their own, and even evoke some laughs.... full review

So-So, by Lekha menon, Khaleej Times : ...Bhool Chuk Maaf falls squarely into the ‘meh’ category — films that are harmless and inoffensive, but so devoid of sharpness, wit or even a surprising twist that they just drift past you. There’s clearly an attempt to say something meaningful about second chances, working hard, faith and human decency, but the storytelling is too bland.... full review

So-So, MiD DAY : ...The film has an ensemble cast, and each character fits the bill, leaving no stone unturned to deliver a powerful onscreen portrayal with adequate comic timing. Rajkummar and Wamiqa, aided by the use of regional dialect, are a treat to watch. Acting chops were served, and neither overpowered the other. This recipe was perfected with seasoned veterans like Sanjay Mishra, Seema Pahwa, Zaikr Hussain, Ishtiyak Khan, and Raghubir Yadav.... full review

So-So, by Isha Sharma, NewsBytes : ...Bhool Chuk Maaf will entertain and perhaps even surprise you in several scenes, but you are not prepared for the monotony that rears its head once BCM runs out of creativity. It's miles away from perfection and cannot even be counted among Bollywood's best small-town comedies, but it can be watched once on OTT for Rao's magnificent performance.... full review

So-So, by Rishil jogani, Pinkvilla : ...Bhool Chuk Maaf is a charming addition to the small-town rom-com genre. Witty dialogues and stellar supporting performances make it an enjoyable watch for those who appreciate simple, feel-good stories. The underutilized time-loop concept and sluggish pacing hold it back from reaching its full potential. Overall, it Bhool Chuk Maaf is a simple film that can be watched with your families.... full review

So-So, by Nandini Ramnath, Scroll.in : ...Among the supporting cast, Ishtiyak Khan and Sanjay Mishra stand out. Wamiqa Gabbi is a misfire as the sometimes coquettish, sometimes feisty, and all-times grating Titli.... full review

So-So, by Renuka Vyavahare, Times of India : ...BCM delivers a relevant message in a deceptive manner. The time loop can feel like you are witnessing a number of behind-the-scenes fun retakes. If you are up for it, you can give this one a watch.... full review

Thumbs down, by Neha Sen, Deccan Herald : ...There are such little redeeming qualities to the film that no actor shines. The oversaturated colour palette and the umpteen number of romantic songs do nothing but elongate the runtime of this hotch-potch of story arcs. ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’ perhaps cou...... full review

Thumbs down, by Veenita kumar, india today : ...Directed by Karan Sharma, 'Bhool Chuk Maaf' is an idea with potential, but one that needs more introspection. Time may loop, love may falter, and faith may be tested, but cinema must evolve. Because audiences aren’t stuck in yesterday!... full review

Thumbs down, by Sukanya Varma, Rediff : ...Watching Rao and a horde of other talented veterans indulge in such mockery is getting tiresome now. We've received an apology in the title. May his next make amends too.... full review
