Overview

• Maalik’s net collection after seven days is Rs 20.75 crore, falling short of its Rs 54 crore production budget.
• The film recovered only 39% of its costs in week one, putting overall profitability out of reach.
• It opened with Rs 3.75 crore on Friday, rose to Rs 5.25 crore each on Saturday and Sunday, then slid through the weekdays to Rs 1.40 crore on Thursday.
• Maalik trails major benchmarks such as the Superman reboot (Rs 31.6 crore in five days) and Rao’s own Stree 2 (over Rs 175 crore in five days).
• With Saiyaara’s release this week, Maalik is set to lose screens and face steeper competition at the box office.
