Maalik vs Aankhon box office Day 2: Rajkummar's film shows growth, Vikrant's lags

India Today3 days ago
Rajkummar Rao's gangster drama Maalik is emerging as a strong performer at the box office. After opening with Rs 3.75 crore, the film saw a noticeable uptick in collections on Day 2, earning an estimated Rs 4.45 crore. This brings its total earnings to Rs 8.2 crore over two days. On Saturday, the film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 14.16 per cent, with evening shows peaking at 19.14 per cent - a sign that word of mouth may be working in its favour.advertisementIn contrast, 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan', starring Vikrant Massey and debutant Shanaya Kapoor, is off to a comparatively modest start. The romantic drama earned Rs 36 lakh on Day 2, marginally up from its Day 1 figure of Rs 30 lakh. With a total collection of Rs 66 lakh so far and an occupancy rate of 12.61 per cent, the film continues to trail behind 'Maalik' in box office traction.Backed by a stellar ensemble including Prosenjit Chatterjee and Manushi Chhillar, 'Maalik' is drawing audiences with its gripping narrative and gritty performances. Alongside Rao, the film features Saurabh Sachdeva, Saurabh Shukla, Anshumaan Pushkar, Swanand Kirkire, Rajendra Gupta, and Baljinder Kaur in key roles.
Meanwhile, 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' explores the themes of love and emotional intimacy. But despite its relatable premise, the film is yet to find a strong connect with audiences.While both films offer distinct flavours - crime-laced intensity versus tender romance - it's clear that Maalik currently holds the edge at the box office, benefitting from positive word of mouth and a powerful lead performance by Rajkummar Rao.- Ends

Saiyaara Advance Booking Update: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's film sells a blazing 26000 tickets in top national chains with over 2 days to go

Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda is all set for a grand theatrical release on 18th July, 2025. The movie's buzz is peaking at the right time and same can be seen in the film's advance bookings. As at 11pm on 15th July, 2025, that it the Tuesday prior to its release, Mohit Suri 's romantic-musical has sold 26,000 tickets in top Indian national chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis for the opening day. The speed suggests tickets sales of well over 1,00,000 tickets in top chains. Saiyaara Has Sold 26,000 Tickets In Top Chains For Day 1, With 2 Days To Go; Booking Outside Top Chains Also Excellent The bookings are excellent even outside the top chains. Moviemax has sold over 1,100 tickets and to put things into perspective, it has already sold more tickets than this year's Kesari 2 and Jaat for the opening day. By morning, it will have gone past Sitaare Zameen Par as well. Single screens in Bihar are filling fast, indicating that collections outside the plexes will also be strong. For its costs, the film looks to be breaking even very comfortably in its first two to three days, irrespective of the word of mouth. The movie has recovered 75 percent of its costs and the remaining 25 percent, amounting to Rs 15 crore, shall be recovered once the film grosses Rs 37-40 crore worldwide. Saiyaara May Well Be A Hit Even Before Release In other words, the movie seems like a hit even before release, something that's said for very few films. The last time this was said was for Gadar 2, given its low costs and phenomenal advance bookings. There is a buy one get one offer for the first day, that the makers could have done without by gauging the interest that the people have for the film. Not that it really matters, but it gives those against the film, a thing to point out. Saiyaara Brings A Ray Of Hope To Exhibitors The advance bookings of Saiyaara are heartening, not just for the film's producers but also the exhibitors, who finally may have found stars other than the generational icons, to pull people to theatres. Saiyaara In Theatres Saiyaara hits theatres on 18th July. Advance bookings are now open. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Another text reads, 'Fans deserve a trailer, not silence. Release the teaser on YouTube.' The post carries two slides. On the second slide, the actor can be seen in a blood-soaked look, indicating a brutal and gory fight sequence. Tiger Shroff captioned the post with an apology and a promise to drop the Baaghi 4 teaser soon. He wrote, 'Dear army, I'm so sorry to keep you all waiting. I've been seeing your messages and posts every day, and trust me, I'm as excited to share this with you at the earliest! I promise you it's worth the wait! I'm giving you an official update soon on the first promo. Expect the unexpected!

Baaghi 4 teaser to release in July 2025? As per Tiger Shroff's words, the teaser of Baaghi 4 can be expected anytime soon this month. For the unversed, the fourth installment of the successful action franchise, Baaghi, will hit the big screens on September 5th. Sonam Bajwa is playing the female lead while Sanjay Dutt is the main villain. Kannada director A.
