Maalik Box Office Collection Day 2: Rajkummar Rao-starrer Maalik has been receiving a lukewarm response at the box office. After a modest opening day collection of approximately Rs 3.75 crore, trade tracker Sacnilk reported that the film showed slight growth on its second day.
Maalik made a collection of Rs 5.25 crore on Day 2, taking the film’s total in India to Rs 9 crore in two days.
On Day 2, the Rajkummar Rao-starrer recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 18.84%. The film saw 6.40% occupancy during morning shows, which rose to 16.95% in the afternoon and 19.14% in the evening. Notably, the night shows registered a strong 32.85% occupancy.
Despite the buzz around Rajkummar Rao’s new avatar, the film is showing a below industry expectations at the box office.
Maalik had a box office clash with Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, starring Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor, and Superman. The film also faced tough competition from the film Metro In Dino, now in its second week, and Hollywood’s blockbuster Jurassic World Rebirth.
Indian Express’ film critic Shubhra Gupta give Maalik one and a half stars and wrote in her review, “Rajkummar Rao film is predictable to a fault. The actor goes all out doing the mobster thing, hefting machine guns and goons, killing and rampaging with impunity in the Illahabad (Allahabad) of the late 80s-90s.”
Rajkummar Rao’s Maalik hit theatres on July 11. The actor has stepped into the gangster genre with this film, directed by Pulkit. The movie also features Manushi Chhillar, Saurabh Shukla, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Swanand Kirkire, and Saurabh Sachdeva in prominent roles.
