Along with Rajkummar actors like Manushi Chhillar Prosenjit Chatterjee Saurabh Sachdeva and Saurabh Shukla are also in important roles in the film.

How Much Has Maalik Earned On Its First Day? The film has made a decent start at the box office on the first day. According to initial estimates by Sacnilk Maalik earned around Rs 2.75 to 3.25 crores on the first day. Although these are estimated figures. But this earning is much less than the first day collection of Rajkummars previous film Bhool Chuk Maaf which was Rs 7.2 crores. Booking for the film was not very encouraging as only 6500 tickets were sold in major cinema chains like PVR Inox and Cinepolis. Still the film may get an audience through spot booking at some places. What Was The Reaction Of Audience To Maalik? The film is getting mixed responses from the audience and critics. Rajkumar Raos acting is being praised a lot but some people are calling the story average. The budget of the film is said to be around Rs 54 crore and it will have to earn Rs 60-70 crore to be a hit. Now it remains to be seen how far the audiences interest and word-of-mouth take Maalik ahead on the weekend. More About Maalik Under the leadership of Pulkit and Jyotsana Nath the direction and writing section feels uninspired and boring; therefore this gangster film falls short of raising any kind of commendable whistle-worthy events for Rajkummar Raos fan army due to which his experiment has not completely resonated with the audiences minds and hearts. The film also features Anshumaan Pushkar Swanand Kirkire Rajendra Gupta and Baljinder Kaur in crucial roles and the music part has been helmed by renowned composers Sachin Saraiya and Jigar Saraiya.
