While the film faced lukewarm response in cities like Bhopal and Hyderabad, its consistent turnout in North and West Indian markets gave it the push it needed.
Maalik has benefited from positive word-of-mouth and Rajkummar Rao's committed performance, as well as the film's themes.
Starring Rajkummar Rao in the lead role, alongside Manushi Chhillar and legendary Bengali actor Prosenjit Chatterjee, the film is a gripping tale of power, ambition, and revenge set in the heart of Allahabad.
Directed by Pulkit and produced by Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakramani, 'Maalik' is packed with suspense, emotional moments, and unexpected twists. It is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 11, 2025.
As it enters the weekdays, it will be crucial to see whether it can hold its ground amid upcoming competition.

Somebody just to save their jobs puts it aside and ghosts you… It breaks you.' Known for several popular Hindi movies, Anurag Kashyap revealed how Netflix ghosted him. 'It was supposed to be a Netflix project, and they ghosted me. They didn't even dare to walk up to me and tell me that 'we are having a problem. Can we solve it?' or even 'We are not doing it.' They didn't have the courage. I don't know if they can bring it back. There's a whole policy. I don't understand it," he added.
