Following six days in theatres, Rajkummar Rao's gritty gangster drama Maalik is slowly approaching the ₹20 crore milestone at the domestic box office. Although Rao's powerful performance was praised, the movie has had a lacklustre run at the box office since its Friday, July 11 release.
Box Office Earnings: Daily Analysis
Maalik made ₹1.60 crore on Day 6 (Wednesday), bringing its total revenue to ₹19.70 crore, according to preliminary estimates from industry tracker Sacnilk. Even while the movie did well over the weekend, weekday box office receipts have steadily declined.
The box office performance of "Maalik" is broken out by day as follows:
- Friday, the first day: ₹3.75 crore
- Saturday, Day 2: ₹5.25 crore
- Sunday, Day 3: ₹5.25 crore
- Monday, the fourth day: ₹1.75 crore
- Tuesday, the fifth day: ₹2.10 crore

In total, ₹19.70 crore
Report on Occupancy: A Week-End Drop
The movie had an overall Hindi occupancy rate of 9.83% on Wednesday, July 16, a little decrease from the day before. This is how the attendance at various showtimes looked:
- Morning Programs: 5.45%
- Afternoon Performances: 9.55%
- Shows in the evening: 10.63%
- Shows at Night: 13.68%
Regarding the Movie
The politically volatile background of Allahabad serves as the setting for Pulkit's film Maalik, which centres on themes of violence, power, ambition, and treachery. Manushi Chhillar and Prosenjit Chatterjee provide backing for Rajkummar Rao, who plays the lead in a sinister and intense role. Anshumaan Pushkar, Swanand Kirkire, Rajendra Gupta, Baljinder Kaur, Saurabh Sachdeva, and Saurabh Shukla all give excellent performances in the movie.
An Up-Close Look at the Contest
There was a slight box office conflict when Maalik and Shanaya Kapoor's debut movie were released together. Despite the continued praise for Rao's performance, the movie is having trouble keeping up with the competition and declining daily attendance.
What's Coming Up for "Maalik"?
As the weekend draws near, everyone is watching to see if Maalik will surpass the ₹20 crore milestone and regain some momentum at the box office. Rao's devoted fan base and positive word-of-mouth could continue to boost foot traffic in the days ahead.
