'Maalik' box office collection Day 8: Rajkummar Rao's film slows down at ticket windows; earns Rs 60 lakhs on second Friday
Rajkummar Rao
, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Manushi Chhillar, and
Huma Qureshi
, saw its collections slow down with several new releases hitting the big screens.
The film collected an estimated Rs 60 lakhs, as per early estimates on Sacnilk.
The film opened to decent numbers last Friday with Rs 3.75 crore and built momentum over the weekend, collecting Rs 5.25 crore each on both Saturday and Sunday. However, the collections began dipping from Monday onward.
Occupancy Rates
Maalik recorded an overall 12.38% occupancy in Hindi 2D screens across India on its second Friday, with the highest turnout seen during night shows estimated at around 21.74%.
Regions like Lucknow and Jaipur had an occupancy rate of 16.75% -16.25%, relatively better, indicating some regional hold, but major metros like Mumbai and Bengaluru saw a drop to 11% and 9.75% respectively.
The morning and afternoon shows reported weak audience turnout, at 4.01% and 11.16% respectively, suggesting that the buzz surrounding the film is cooling off.
What Lies Ahead?
Directed by Pulkit, 'Maalik' blends drama and social commentary, with Rajkummar Rao once again at the centre of a grounded, intense narrative. The movie is getting mixed reports.
The coming days, especially Saturday and Sunday, will reveal whether Maalik has the legs to go beyond a modest run or if it will wrap up its theatrical journey under Rs 30 crore.

Aamir Khan on YouTube premiere of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par': This could be a gamechanger
A cinema chain in every house and pocket. That, says Aamir Khan, is the idea behind his novel move to bypass OTT platforms and instead release his latest film Sitaare Zameen Par on his YouTube channel by paying per view. It is what audiences have done forever when they pay each time they visit a theatre. And now that's what they can do by paying ₹100 to watch his newest offering on the recently launched YouTube channel Aamir Khan Talkies that will also show other films under the Aamir Khan Productions banner as well as old titles produced by his father Tahir Hussain, he said. "This is my private cinema chain. Think of it like Aamir Khan Productions has opened a new cinema chain, which is in everyone's house and in everyone's pocket," Aamir told PTI in an interview about his attempt to democratise the movie watching experience and reach out to those who can't afford multiplexes. The actor-filmmaker said he was offered good money from streamers to release his film on their platform. But internet and UPI payments are increasing in India, even in rural pockets, and YouTube's accessibility could mean massive change in the way movies are distributed after their theatrical release. The star said he follows his heart and is doing what he is to make cinema more powerful. 'And that is why I am doing this. I got good offers from OTT channels. But I don't want those ₹100-125 crore from OTT channels. I want to earn ₹100 from my audience. I prefer that more." From Friday, Sitaare Zameen Par will stream exclusively on YouTube in India at ₹100. It will also do so in 38 international markets, including US, Canada, UK, Australia, Germany, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore and Spain, with pricing localised for each market. Asked whether this is a way of establishing his own OTT platform, Aamir said his vision is different from the subscription model that streamers follow. "We have been following the same model when we watch movies in theatres which are pay-per-view. We go to the cinema once, we buy the ticket and watch the film once. I am bringing this same model on digital." It could, in his view, be a gamechanger. "My colleagues in the industry, filmmakers, creative people, artists, directors and writers, are waiting to see whether this model is successful or not. If this model is successful, then it will be a big step for cinema. "We will once again get the strength, that whatever work we want to do, whatever stories we want to tell, we can do openly and we can connect to our audience.' It was at one time called a mass medium and he would like for it to become one again. In a huge country like India, only a small percentage of the population has access to cinema halls, the actor said, adding that it was something that had bothered him for years. "Even the most successful Hindi films that we have, 3-3.5 crore people can watch it in theatres. So that is 2-3 per cent of our population. How do the remaining 97 per cent watch our films?" "YouTube comes pre-installed on almost every device whether you have a smart TV or a phone or an iPad or a tablet. I saw this as a means. Today it has become the right environment. Where UPI has come, internet penetration has reached and we have a platform that is so big... I felt that now we can reach the public in the right way," he said. ALSO READ: 'Sitaare Zameen Par' movie review: Aamir Khan's seasonal moral science class The emergence of multiplexes has made movie watching a costly affair but it could change now. "The way multiplexes were made, they became very posh, like a five-star hotel. When you invest so much, then you have to increase the ticket price, otherwise it will not be economical for you. "You can have tea at a teahouse, or you can have it at a five-star hotel. But not everyone can go to a five-star hotel. As a creative person, I want to reach every Indian at a reasonable price so they can watch my content whenever they want, at their time, at their place, with their friends and family." Unlike the US and China, which have about 35,000 to 90,000 screens, India has only about 8,000 to 9,000 theatres, Aamir argued.

Urvashi Rautela's Dior bag stolen from Gatwick airport, actor seeks help from London police
Actor Urvashi Rautela took to her Instagram account on Thursday to seek help from London police after her Dior bag went missing. She claimed that her luxury bag was stolen from the baggage belt after she landed at Wimbledon. She said she was flying on Emirates from Mumbai to London via Dubai. She took to her Instagram Stories and wrote, 'Injustice tolerated is injustice repeated.' She tagged Gatwick Airport, Emirates, and the Metropolitan Police in her post and added pictures of her boarding pass, baggage tag, and a first-class ticket to prove her claim. Her post read, 'Our @wimbledon @dior brown baggage was stolen from the belt at @gatwickairport after flying @emirates from Mumbai during #Wimbledon. Baggage tag & ticket above. Urgently requesting help to retrieve it.' Urvashi Rautela further used hashtags like #platinumemiratesmember and #gatwickairportpolice in her post to escalate the matter and seek urgent help. Her post has attracted mixed reactions from the netizens. While some did not believe the actor's claims, others expressed concerns. One user wrote in the comment section, 'I hope your Labubus are safe.' 'First Indian to lose baggage returning from Wimbledon,' added another. One more commented, "Previously got her iPhone stolen and now Dior bag…' The actor has now turned off the comment section of her post. Meanwhile, there has been no official response from Gatwick Airport, Emirates Airlines, or the UK police following Urvashi's complaint. Urvasi attended the Wimbledon championships earlier in July. She grabbed a lot of attention on the internet when she posted pictures from the event. She was at the women's singles final match. She wore a white midi-length dress which featured a corsetted bodice. However, the highlight of her look was the Hermes handbag. The bag was adorned with not one but four Labubu dolls. She wrote in the caption of her post, 'PRINCESS OF WALES #KATEMIDDLETON TRULY AN HONOR TO MEET YOU meeting thee is a joy divine WIMBLEDON 2025 FINALS!' In 2023, Urvashi lost her 24-carat gold iPhone at the Narendra Modi Stadium during the India vs. Pakistan match. She had tagged Ahmedabad Stadium and Narendra Modi Stadium and wrote, "Lost my 24 carat real gold i phone at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad! If anyone comes across it, please help. Contact me ASAP! #LostPhone #AhmedabadStadium #HelpNeeded #indvspak @modistadium @ahmedabadpolice."
