Rajkummar Rao’s Maalik wrapped up its opening weekend with a total box office collection of Rs 14.09 crore. Despite garnering decent attention from urban centers and multiplex audiences, the film is struggling to match the momentum of the Hollywood biggie Superman, which continues to dominate Indian screens.
The socio-political drama showed steady growth over the weekend but hasn't yet delivered the breakout success trade experts had anticipated. Here's a day-wise breakdown:
Day 1 (Friday): Rs 2.85 crore
Day 2 (Saturday): Rs 4.45 crore
Day 3 (Sunday): Rs 5.23 crore
Day 4 (Monday): Rs 1.56 crore
Maalik saw a dip on Monday, typical for most releases after the weekend surge. The film, directed by Pulkit and starring Jyothika alongside Rao, has received praise for its performances and messaging, but faces tough competition from international releases.
Meanwhile, Superman has emerged as the top choice for moviegoers across metros and tier-1 cities, outpacing Maalik in terms of screens and footfalls.
Industry analysts suggest that Maalik will need a strong weekday run and positive word-of-mouth to stay afloat and recover costs. The coming days are crucial for the film’s performance at the box office.
