Maalik Box Office Day 5: RajKummar Rao's Film Inches Close To Rs 20-Crore Mark
Maalik opened with Rs 3.75 crore on Friday and witnessed a significant growth on Saturday and Sunday with a collection of Rs 5.25 crore on each day. Maalik, the RajKummar Rao starrer gangster drama, has been struggling at the box office to get momentum. This could be due to its still competition with films like Superman and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. Despite that, the film maintained its steady grip on its first Tuesday and collected Rs 2 crore Nett in India, as per With this, Maalik's total 5-Day collection comes to Rs 18 crore in India. On Monday, the film saw a significant drop in the numbers with a collection of just Rs 1.75 crore, its lowest single-day total so far. However, Tuesday (July 15) turned out to be a surprising day for the maker as Maalik witnessed growth at the box office on day 5. This could be the result of a positive word of mouth from the audience and low ticket prices on Tuesday at several theatres. In the coming week, RajKummar's film shows might decrease as Saiyaara, Tanvi: The Great and Nikita Roy are releasing in cinema halls this Friday. Maalik opened with Rs 3.75 crore on Friday and witnessed a significant growth on Saturday and Sunday with a collection of Rs 5.25 crore on each day. Helmed by Pulkit and produced by Tips, the film also features Manushi Chillar, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Anshumaan Pushkar, Swanand Kirkire, Saurabh Sachdeva and Saurabh Shukla in pivotal roles. Maalik follows the story of Deepak, a farmer's son who rises to power as a gangster in Allahabad (now Prayagraj) during the 1980s. The movie explores his journey from a simple man to a feared figure, driven by ambition and personal loss, and his entanglement in the socio-political landscape of the time. The film marks RajKummar's first action thriller. Recently, during an interaction with Zoom, he shared that he had received offers for action films in the past as well, but was waiting for the right script. He said, 'There's a lot more inside me to explore as an actor that I haven't done before. Maalik was definitely one of the few things I wanted to do, and I was waiting for the proper script. It's not like I hadn't been offered action films before, but the story wasn't there. For me, action is more than just action; there must be a story, and action should be a part of it." Up next, he will be seen in the comedy-entertainer Toaster with Sanya Malhotra and in Stree 3. view comments First Published: July 16, 2025, 09:53 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

James Gunn's superhero action film Superman has made a flying start at the Indian box office, outperforming Bollywood releases like RajKummar Rao's Maalik and Shanaya Kapoor's Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. Headlined by David Corenswet, the Hollywood biggie earned an impressive Rs 7 crore nett on its opening day in India, according to Going by the numbers, Superman is now the third-best opening for a Hollywood film in India in 2025 after Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning and the Scarlett Johansson-starrer Jurassic World: Rebirth. The film garnered positive reviews from fans and critics alike which indicates a positive weekend for the makers. As expected, the film is performing strongly in premium formats such as IMAX and 4DX, with the biggest revenue coming from urban regions. Notably, Superman's first-day collection in India is more than the combined opening day business of RajKummar Rao's Maalik and Shanaya Kapoor and Vikrant Massey's Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. The gangster drama grossed Rs 3.35 crore, while Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan earned Rs 35 Lakhs on Day 1, as per In comparison to other big Hollywood releases in recent times, Superman has outperformed Brad Pitt's racing films, F1, Final Destination: Bloodlines, as well as Captain America: Brave New World. Apart from David Corenswet, the film also features Hollywood celebs like Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced and Milly Alcock. The film follows the journey of a younger Clark Kent (played by David Corenswet) as he balances his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing, focusing on his early journey rather than retelling his origin story. The film depicts Superman navigating a public relations nightmare, a potential identity crisis, and his feelings for Lois Lane, while also dealing with a villainous Lex Luthor. In India, the film was released with some edits suggested by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), which also included trimming a 33-second kiss between David and Rachel. According to Bollywood Hungama, the CBFC has instructed the production studio to delete every vulgar word said by the cast in Superman. Following the direction, an 8-second shot including a slang gesture was requested to be removed and replaced with a two-second shot.
