Maalik Box Office Collection Day 1: Rajkummar Rao's gangster drama opens with decent numbers, earned Rs...
The film has made a decent start at the box office on the first day. According to initial estimates by Sacnilk, 'Maalik' earned around Rs 2.75 to 3.25 crores on the first day. Although these are estimated figures. But this earning is much less than the first day collection of Rajkummar's previous film 'Bhool Chuk Maaf', which was Rs 7.2 crores. Booking for the film was not very encouraging, as only 6,500 tickets were sold in major cinema chains like PVR, Inox and Cinepolis. Still, the film may get an audience through spot booking at some places. What Was The Reaction Of Audience To Maalik?
The film is getting mixed responses from the audience and critics. Rajkumar Rao's acting is being praised a lot, but some people are calling the story average. The budget of the film is said to be around Rs 54 crore, and it will have to earn Rs 60-70 crore to be a hit. Now it remains to be seen how far the audience's interest and word-of-mouth take 'Maalik' ahead on the weekend. More About Maalik
Under the leadership of Pulkit and Jyotsana Nath, the direction and writing section feels uninspired and boring; therefore, this gangster film falls short of raising any kind of commendable, whistle-worthy events for Rajkummar Rao's fan army, due to which his experiment has not completely resonated with the audience's minds and hearts. The film also features Anshumaan Pushkar, Swanand Kirkire, Rajendra Gupta and Baljinder Kaur in crucial roles and the music part has been helmed by renowned composers Sachin Saraiya and Jigar Saraiya.

War 2 Box Office Day 3: Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR's Film Sees BIG Drop, Trails Behind Coolie
Last Updated: War 2, featuring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, started with Rs 52 crore, rose to Rs 57.35 crore on Day 2, but saw a drastic fall on Day 3. The film also stars Kiara Advani. War 2 Box Office Collections Day 2: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's much-anticipated film, co-starring Kiara Advani, released on August 14, clashing with Rajinikanth's Coolie. While the film raked in a decent amount for two days, War 2 saw a big drop in collection on the third day. The film now trails far behind Coolie, however, it raked in more money than Salman Khan's Sikandar. War opened to a staggering Rs 52 crore at the box office. On Day 2, the numbers hiked by 10.29 per cent, minting Rs 57.35 crore. However, Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's film saw a big drop in collection on Day 3 by earning Rs 33 crore (early estimates). It saw an overall Hindi occupancy of 31.42% on Saturday, August 16. The total collection of War 2 stands at Rs 142.35 crore. However, there are chances the numbers could take a different turn after its first weekend in theatres. Meanwhile, Raijinikanth's Coolie is witnessing grear box office numbers. The film minted Rs 300 crore at the global box office. How is Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR's War 2? News18 Showsha rated War 2 with a 2.5/5 stars. An excerpt from our review read: 'At 2 hours 50 minutes, War 2 tries to go full throttle but often skids into chaos. A thriller of this scale definitely needed crisper editing. Instead, what we get is a bunch of long-drawn flashbacks that dilute the pace, stripping the film of any solid edge-of-the-seat, nail-biting moment. But what needs to be truly spoken about are its action sequences. One thing is clear – Kabir and Vikram/Rahu are immortal. Nothing can kill them. Bullets, swords, fire, icicles, nothing. Most importantly, they can fly. They fly over land and water. Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR's War 2 fee revealed The buzz around War 2 just got bigger. Earlier, reports revealed that Jr NTR is being paid a massive Rs 70 crore fee for the film, while Hrithik Roshan will take home Rs 50 crore along with backend earnings. Now, fresh reports suggest that the South superstar has also struck a lucrative profit-sharing deal. According to Bollywood Hungama, Yash Raj Films (YRF) has sold the Telugu rights of War 2 outright to producer Naga Vamsi for an impressive Rs 90 crore. A source told the portal, 'Naga Vamsi has acquired Telugu rights for War 2 for Rs 90 crores. Every profit from the Telugu theatrical medium will now go to Naga Vamsi, while YRF has received an outright recovery of ₹90 crores on a budget of Rs 400 crore. The Telugu case has been settled between the parties." Interestingly, NTR Jr has also negotiated a share of the profits from the Telugu version. 'After receiving a large salary of ₹70 crores, NTR Jr. is also entitled to a portion of the revenues from the Telugu version of Naga Vamsi. He is anticipated to earn more than ₹100 crore by the end of the run, as the Telugu version of War 2 is expected to generate significant earnings. The profits from Telugu will be split between NTR Jr. and Vamsi, not YRF or Hrithik," the trade source added. Directed by Ayan Mukerji and produced by Aditya Chopra, War 2 is the latest entrant in the YRF Spy Universe. Starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, the high-octane action entertainer released on August 14, 2025, in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil.
