Maalik Worldwide Lifetime Box Office: Rajkummar Rao's actioner ends as a failure with closing business of Rs 33 crore globally
Maalik, which arrived in cinemas on July 11, 2025, starred Rajkummar Rao as the main lead. Directed by Pulkit, the gangster drama couldn't perform at its best in theaters. The movie has finally ended its theatrical run after being crashed amid the Saiyaara wave. Maalik has failed at the box office while grossing Rs 33 crore globally. Maalik earns a lifetime business of Rs 33.25 crore worldwide Co-produced by Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakramani, Maalik collected Rs 30 crore gross at the Indian box office. The Rajkummar Rao starrer earned Rs 3.25 crore (USD 0.35 crore) overseas. The lifetime business of Pulkit's directorial stood at Rs 33.25 crore in the global markets as it concluded its theatrical run. Particulars Gross Collection of Maalik India Rs 30 crore Overseas Rs 3.25 crore (USD 0.35 crore) Worldwide Rs 33.25 crore Maalik clashed with Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyaan, lost screens to Saiyaara in India Maalik locked horns with two movies during its release, i.e. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyaan and Superman. It also ran parallel to Dino, Jurassic World: Rebirth and F1: The Movie. While Rajkummar Rao's movie had a decent start in India, it later lost screens to Saiyaara, which entered the box office market on July 18, 2025. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer opened at Rs 21.5 crore on Friday. Pulkit's helmer couldn't recover its production costs either. Also starring Prosenjit Chatterjee, Maalik's failure suggests that it has emerged as a flop at the box office. Rajkummar Rao was previously seen in Bhool Chuk Maaf earlier this year, which performed relatively better than Maalik. What's next for Rajkummar Rao? Pinkvilla exclusively reported that Rajkummar Rao has been roped in for Ujjwal Nikam biopic, which will be directed by Avinash Arun. "The prep-work for Ujjwal Nikam biopic is presently underway, and Rajkummar Rao is expected to undergo intense acting workshops to step into the shoes of a real-life lawyer," revealed a source close to the development.

Meet Me at the Lake: Is Meghan Markle-Prince Harry's Upcoming Movie Shelved? Here's What We Know
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Meet Me at the Lake remains in limbo, amid their contract with Netflix coming to an end. Previously, it was reported that the Duke and the Duchess would produce the film adaptation of Carley Fortune's best-selling romance novel for the OTT platform. However, according to the latest updates, the couple's Archwell production has not yet secured a director on board and isn't even close to finalizing the cast. According to sources close to Markle and the former member of the royal family, Netflix has reportedly paid USD 3 million to the duo to block them as producers for the potential project. Will Meghan Markle-Prince Harry's Meet Me at the Lake see the light of day? In conversation with the media portal, a source close to the Duke and the Duchess asked, 'By this point, you would have thought they would have gotten a director on board and a cast. So what is the delay?' They further added, 'And when you make something for Netflix, it takes a long time for it actually to hit the streamer—there is so much to do in post-production to make sure it's ready for every country. If the deal is up this year, then when is this film going to be made?' Earlier, it was mentioned that the couple was working on a documentary in Africa. However, that too has been kept on the back burner. The question asked by the Hollywood insiders is, 'What's the betting that neither of these projects will see the light of day?' Meghan Markle-Prince Harry's 100 million deal with Netflix comes to an end As reported previously, Markle and the Duke 's 100 million deal with Netflix comes to an end in September. Following the news that the couple's agreement was not renewed, it was rumored that the duo might move to a first-look contract, similar to the one Barack Obama and his wife have. Apart from partnering with the Sussexes on projects like Polo, Harry & Meghan, and With Love, Meghan, the streaming platform is also collaborating with the mother of two on her lifestyle brand, As Ever. Despite the cancellation of their contract, the Duke and the Duchess could still release their projects on the streaming platform.

'Move is appreciated': Kangana Ranaut after crackdown on OTT platforms
New Delhi [India], July 25 (ANI): Bollywood actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut has supported the Centre's ban on OTT platforms in the country. Speaking to ANI, the 'Emergency' star said that the move was crucial to protect the country's young people and was issued in the public interest. "The ban has been imposed to ensure that our culture and the minds of the youth are not corrupted. It is important to see that our society is not headed toward a complete downfall. It was awaited for a long time," she said. Kangana also appreciated the step taken against the illegal functioning of the OTT applications. Likewise, actor Ravi Kishan has also welcomed the decision, stating that "boundaries and limits need to be set." According to sources, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has ordered the blocking of 25 over-the-top (OTT) platforms over allegedly publishing obscene, vulgar, and even pornographic material. As a part of it, platforms like Ullu, ALTT, Big Shots App, NeonX VIP, and Desiflix were found disseminating content that directly violated several provisions of Indian law, including Section 67 and 67A of the Information Technology Act, Section 292 of the Indian Penal Code, and Section 4 of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986. A total of 14 mobile applications, 26 websites have been ordered to be disabled by intermediaries under provisions of the IT Act, 2000 and the IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021. Much of the content showcased on the aforementioned platforms involved graphic sexual innuendos, long sequences of nudity, and pornographic visuals. Some, they believed, also had inappropriate sexual situations involving family relationships, which aggravated concerns over legality and decency. Previoulsy, in September 2024, all 25 platforms received official warnings. The Ministry also issued an advisory, asking the OTT platforms to comply with India's obscenity laws and the Code of Ethics prescribed under the IT Rules, 2021. (ANI)
