Rajkummar Rao’s brooding thriller ‘Maalik’ is blowing up screens and stealing the spotlight from Shanaya Kapoor’s big Bollywood debut ‘Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan’. Released on July 11th, ‘Maalik’ charged ahead earning ₹4.45 crore on Day 2, crushing its opening haul of ₹3.75 crore. The total is a roaring ₹8.2 crore and counting! With a nationwide Hindi occupancy of 14.16 percent on Saturday, Day 2, it’s gripping audiences hard. Meanwhile, Shanaya’s romantic saga – co-starring Vikrant Massey – struggles to gain traction. It crawled from ₹30 lakh to ₹36 lakh with a modest total of ₹66 lakh in the two days. Industry insiders are watching closely. Will Shanaya’s debut heat up or melt in the ‘Maalik’ firestorm? One thing’s clear – Rajkummar Rao’s dark magic is dominating for now and it’s not done yet.
