‘Maalik' set to enter Rajkummar Rao's top 10 highest-grossing films with Rs 21.14 crore in week 1

Rajkummar Rao's 'Maalik' has earned a respectable Rs 21.14 crore in its first week, driven by positive word of mouth and Rao's fan base. The action drama is poised to enter the top 10 highest-grossing films of his career, potentially surpassing 'Roohi'. However, competition from 'Saiyaara' could impact its long-term box office performance. Rajkummar Rao 's latest release Maalik has completed its first week at the box office with a respectable total of Rs 21.14 crore (India net), putting the film on track to enter the Top 10 highest-grossing films of the actor's career. The action drama, which opened modestly last Friday, has shown a steady trend over the weekdays, benefitting from positive word of mouth and Rao's dependable fan base. The film also featured Manushi Chhillar and Prosenjit in leading roles and it is directed by Pulkit. Mohit Suri Spills On 20 Years In Bollywood - Ahaan & Aneet, Alia Bhatt Dream Collab & More Here's a breakdown of Maalik's Week 1 performance: Day 1 (Friday): Rs 3.75 crore Day 2 (Saturday): Rs 5.25 crore Day 3 (Sunday): Rs 5.25 crore Day 4 (Monday): Rs 1.75 crore Day 5 (Tuesday): Rs 2.10 crore Day 6 (Wednesday): Rs 1.75 crore Day 7 (Thursday): Rs 1.29 crore (rough data) Total Week 1 Collection: Rs 21.14 crore While the film didn't have a blockbuster opening, its weekend hold and weekday stability have helped it accumulate a healthy first-week total. This performance puts Maalik just shy of displacing 'Roohi' also starring Janhvi Kapooor and Varun Sharma (Rs 21.93 crore) from the 10th spot on Rajkummar Rao's list of top earners. With the second weekend around the corner the film looked primed to enter the Top 10 list. Though one might wonder how far could the film go as Mohit Suri 's Saiyaara starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda has already taken a glorious start at the box office with its collection crossing Rs 4 crore mark till noon on first day. Rajkummar Rao's Top Hindi Grossers (Net Collections): Stree 2 – Rs 597.99 crore Stree – Rs 129.83 crore Bhool Chuk Maaf – Rs 72.73 crore Srikanth – Rs 48.07 crore Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video – Rs 42.09 crore Mr. & Mrs. Mahi – Rs 36.34 crore Judgementall Hai Kya – Rs 34.45 crore Bareilly Ki Barfi – Rs 34.27 crore Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga – Rs 22.45 crore Roohi – Rs 21.93 crore With Maalik currently at Rs 21.14 crore and growing, it is expected to cross Rs 23–24 crore by the end of its second weekend, ensuring it not only enters but firmly secures its spot in Rajkummar's Top 10 list. The film's content-driven narrative and Rao's reliable performance have once again proved his bankability in mid-budget cinema. Maalik may not be a front-runner for top-tier box office glory, but it continues Rajkummar Rao's impressive streak of consistent box office performers in the post-pandemic era.

Legendary Rapper Snoop Dogg Joins Ownership Group of Welsh Soccer Club Swansea City

Images via Swansea City and Imagn: Snoop Dogg It looks like Swansea City could be the next soccer fairytale in the making, following in the footsteps of Wrexham's Hollywood rise led by Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds. But why the sudden buzz? The Welsh club recently dropped their 2025–26 home kit in a reveal video on Monday that featured none other than rap legend Snoop Dogg . While fans were surprised by the cameo, the bigger news soon followed. Swansea has now officially confirmed that Dogg will invest in the Welsh club and join them as a co-owner. His involvement reportedly stems from a mutual connection with Swansea's American investors, Brett Cravatt and Jason Cohen. Snoop Dogg's Minority Ownership to Boost the Profile of Swansea City This investment is part of the owners' effort to increase the club's brand value and commercial revenue. And with Dogg, who currently boasts around 89 million Instagram followers, that attempt is certainly in the right direction. The club owners explained in a statement, 'To borrow a phrase from Snoop's back catalogue, this announcement is the next episode for Swansea City as we seek to create new opportunities to boost the club's reach and profile." Moreover, even Dogg was thrilled to embark on his new sporting endeavour. He has previously revealed his favorite football club to be Celtic. "My love of football is well known, but it feels special to me that I make my move into club ownership with Swansea City." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Spacious 4 BHK Homes starting @ ₹5.25 Cr* on Dwarka E-Way Emaar India Get Quote Undo He added, "The story of the club and the area really struck a chord with me. This is a proud, working-class city and club. An underdog that bites back, just like me. I'm proud to be part of Swansea City. I am going to do all I can to help the club, and I look forward to getting to know all my YJBS." Snoop Dogg has previously been involved in working as a guest commentator for WWE and a correspondent for NBC at the Olympics. The exact financial details of the deal are unknown at this point, but Dogg's global popularity will certainly be helpful for the Welsh club. Moreover, the club recently posted a pre-tax loss of around 20.39 million dollars, so this new investment from Dogg could serve as a lifeline. And Dogg isn't the only prominent name that has invested in Swansea as of late. Luka Modric Became a Co-owner of Swansea in April This Year Just like Snoop Dogg, former Real Madrid legend Luka Modric also joined the club as an investor and co-owner in April of this year. Figures of his investment were not revealed, but his football experience is expected to serve the club well. "This is an exciting opportunity. Swansea has a strong identity, an incredible fanbase, and the ambition to compete at the highest level. My goal is to support the club's growth in a positive way and to help to build an exciting future," Modric said in a statement. The 2018 Ballon d'Or winner recently signed with Italian giants AC Milan after leaving Real Madrid as its most decorated player in history. At 39, this seems to be a venture in the right direction for the veteran soccer player.
