'Maalik' box office collection Day 8: Rajkummar Rao's film slows down at ticket windows; earns Rs 60 lakhs on second Friday
After a steady opening week that brought in an estimated Rs 21.20 crore at the Indian box office, Maalik witnessed a noticeable drop on its eighth day (Friday). The Pulkit directorial, which stars 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.

‘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.

After Box Office Success, This Rs 880 Crore Thriller Is Taking OTT By Storm
Thrillers have always held a special place in cinema, captivating audiences with suspense, fear, and the irresistible urge to discover what happens next. Despite their eerie tone, thrillers attract viewers across all age groups, thanks to their edge-of-the-seat storytelling. In recent years, thrillers, regardless of language, have seen a surge in popularity, especially on OTT platforms. With so many options available, it's often difficult to choose the right one. If you're in that dilemma, here's a film recommendation that guarantees suspense, humour, and plenty of twists over 2 hours and 29 minutes. The Stree franchise, that is, Stree (2017) and Stree 2 (2024), provided a rare mix of horror, comedy, and thriller that left audiences both laughing and biting their nails. The first instalment became a surprise hit, earning Rs 180 crore and gaining cult status. The much-anticipated sequel, Stree 2, released in 2024, outdid the original by grossing a staggering Rs 880 crore at the global box office, firmly cementing its blockbuster status. Both films star Shraddha Kapoor in the mysterious lead role, alongside Rajkummar Rao, who plays a local tailor from the village of Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh. Supporting cast members include Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee, each delivering memorable performances that enhance the film's unique blend of humour and suspense. The storyline is said to be inspired by real events and local folklore. It centres around the village legend of a vengeful female spirit who roams the streets during a four-day festival, calling men by name. Those who respond or look back mysteriously vanish. Rajkummar Rao's character falls for Shraddha Kapoor's enigmatic persona, who only appears during the festival. As he and his friends investigate her identity, they begin to suspect she may be the spirit haunting their town. What follows is a thrilling, twist-filled narrative that keeps viewers engaged until the final scene. Unlike many thrillers that drag or rely too heavily on jump scares, Stree and Stree 2 are lauded for their tight pacing, clever writing, and the seamless blending of comedy and horror elements. Stree 2 currently holds a 6.9/10 rating on IMDb and is being praised for living up to the hype created by its predecessor. Both films are now streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ Hotstar, making them perfect for your next movie night if you're in the mood for a thriller that also makes you laugh.
