'Maalik' box office collections Day 13: Rajkummar Rao’s film slows down further with Rs 25 lakhs collection; total reaches Rs 24.30 cr

Rajkummar Rao’s political thriller 'Maalik' seems to have hit a roadblock in its box office journey. As reported by the Sacnilk website, after a respectable first week that brought in Rs 21.20 crore, the film has struggled to keep up its pace in the second week.

On Day 13, which fell on a Wednesday, 'Maalik' collected an estimated Rs 25 lakhs , taking its India net total to Rs 24.30 crore.

Sluggish weekday numbers tell the story

'Maalik' saw a solid start with weekend numbers of Rs 5.25 crore each on Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately it began sliding from Monday onward. The steepest drop came on the second Monday (Day 11) when it collected only Rs 25 lakhs down over 70% from the previous day. Since then, the film has been hovering below the Rs 40 lakh mark daily.

Tuesday brought a slight uptick with Rs 35 lakhs, but Wednesday fell back again to Rs 25 lakhs .

With just ₹3.10 crore added so far in Week 2, the sharp contrast to its first-week performance is hard to miss.

Occupancy and regional turnout reflect the dip

The film managed an overall Hindi 2D occupancy of just 13.87%. Morning shows registered the lowest with 6.22%, while night shows peaked at 23.02%. In terms of key markets, Mumbai led with 15.25% occupancy, followed by NCR at 12.50%, Bengaluru at 11%, and Pune trailing at 6.75%. With weekday footfalls this low, it’s becoming increasingly unlikely that Maalik will cross Rs 27 crore in its theatrical run—unless the upcoming weekend offers a surprise boost.

About 'Maalik'

The film stars Rajkummar Rao in the lead, supported by Prosenjit Chatterjee, Manushi Chhillar, and Huma Qureshi. With poor reviews and occupancy rates, it's doubtful whether the film will hold well at the box office in the coming days.
