Maalik Movie Earns Rs 21.14 Crore in First Week
With a budget of 54 crores, 'Maalik' has recovered 42% of the estimated cost so far, and its success will depend on its ability to sustain momentum in the coming weeks. The movie features Rajkummar Rao, Manushi Chhillar, and others in key roles, and its runtime of 2 hours and 29 minutes has been well-received by audiences.
Rajkummar Rao's latest release 'Maalik' has earned a notable Rs 21.14 crore in its first week, driven by positive word of mouth and the actor's dedicated fan base. The film's action drama narrative and Rao's reliable performance have proved his bankability in mid-budget cinema.
The movie is poised to enter the top 10 highest-grossing films of Rajkummar Rao's career, potentially surpassing 'Roohi'. However, it faces competition from 'Saiyaara', which could impact its long-term box office performance. With a second weekend around the corner, 'Maalik' is expected to cross Rs 23-24 crore, securing its spot in Rajkummar's Top 10 list.
Despite maintaining a 1 crore+ streak at the box office, 'Maalik' has failed to enter the top 10 opening week collections of 2025 in Bollywood. The film earned an estimated 1.52 crore on day 7, with a total of 22.52 crore net and 26.57 crore gross earnings in its opening week. 'Maalik' lags behind 'Metro In Dino' by 7.07 crores in the top 10 opening week collections of 2025.
The film's performance is a testament to Rajkummar Rao's enduring appeal and the power of content-driven narratives in mid-budget cinema. As 'Maalik' continues its run at the box office, it remains to be seen whether it can overcome the competition and achieve long-term success.
