Rajkummar Rao and Manushi Chhillar starrer Maalik hit theaters on Friday, July 12, with limited buzz surrounding its release. As anticipated, the film struggled to draw a large audience on its opening day, resulting in a modest collection. This performance aligned with expectations, as movies in this genre usually cater to a niche audience unless they feature a major star. However, Maalik has received decent reviews from critics and positive word-of-mouth from moviegoers, which could help it gain momentum over the weekend. The film is expected to show growth in the coming days and remain steady during the weekdays. Early estimates suggest Maalik is headed toward a ₹13–15 crore opening weekend. Similar to recent releases like Maa and Metro In Dino, it is projected to earn around ₹35–40 crore over its lifetime run.

Maalik is a Bollywood action thriller directed by Pulkit and produced by Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakramani. The film features Rajkummar Rao in the titular role, alongside Prosenjit Chatterjee and Manushi Chhillar. It was theatrically released on July 11, 2025.
