\"RajkummarRajkummar Rao’s latest film, Maalik, has become his 9th highest-grossing film with an India net collection of Rs 23.54 crore in 10 days. Despite facing competition, the film’s steady performance and positive reception helped it surpass Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga in Rao’s top 10 list. The film also stars Manushi Chhillar and Prosenjit Chatterjee. Rajkummar Rao<\/a>\u2019s latest release Maalik has officially entered his list of top 10 highest-grossing films, becoming his 9th biggest hit with an India net collection of Rs 23.54 crore in 10 days. Directed by Pulkit<\/a> the film also stars former Miss World Manushi Chhillar<\/a> and veteran Bengali actor Prosenjit Chatterjee<\/a> in key roles.Maalik opened to a modest Rs 3.75 crore on its first Friday but picked up momentum over the weekend, collecting Rs 5.25 crore each on Saturday and Sunday. Despite a predictable dip during the weekdays, the film maintained a steady pace, aided by decent word of mouth and positive critical reception. The second weekend added around Rs 2.25 crore to its kitty, bringing the total to Rs 23.54 crore, nudging past Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (Rs 22.45 crore) to enter Rajkummar Rao\u2019s top 10 list.The film got massively impacted by Mohit Suri<\/a>\u2019s Saiyaara starring Ahaan Panday<\/a> and Aneet Padda<\/a>. Set against a politically charged backdrop, Maalik tells a story rooted in power, ambition, and societal upheaval. While Maalik isn\u2019t a blockbuster by commercial standards, it adds to Rajkummar Rao\u2019s consistent box office growth. His filmography reflects a unique blend of content-driven cinema and crowd-pleasers. The actor\u2019s top-grossing film remains the recent mega-hit Stree 2, which raked in a record-breaking Rs 597.99 crore, followed by Stree (Rs 129.83 crore), Bhool Chuk Maaf (Rs 72.73 crore), and Srikanth<\/a> (Rs 48.07 crore). Other notable grossers include Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video (Rs 42.09 crore) and Mr. & Mrs. Mahi (Rs 36.34 crore).Maalik stands just below Bareilly Ki Barfi (Rs 34.27 crore) and Judgementall Hai Kya (Rs 34.45 crore), films where Rao also shone in layered, offbeat roles. With Maalik now in the mix, it becomes evident that the actor\u2019s appeal is expanding beyond niche content to commercially viable stories with substance.The film also marks a key moment for Manushi Chhillar, who continues to explore diverse roles post her debut. Prosenjit Chatterjee\u2019s presence adds gravitas, and Pulkit\u2019s direction\u2014best known for his earlier work on Maroon\u2014has been widely appreciated for its restraint and realism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rajkummar Rao’s latest film, Maalik, has become his 9th highest-grossing film with an India net collection of Rs…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10658,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[5907,5908,64,63,134,12666,12667,2912,344,12668,12669,4062,12671,12670],"class_list":["post-10657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-ahaan-panday","tag-aneet-padda","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-maalik","tag-manushi-chhillar","tag-mohit-suri","tag-movies","tag-prosenjit-chatterjee","tag-pulkit","tag-rajkummar-rao","tag-srikanth","tag-stree-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10657"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10657\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
