Trailer Talk: OTT Vibes, Risky Theatrical Gamble

Maalik Trailer Review

Rajkummar Rao is back on the big screens after delivering several rom-coms that have failed to create a huge hype at the box office.

After his recent failures like Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video and Bhool Chuk Maaf, Rajkummar Rao aims to try something new and familiar as he turns up to become a gangster in his upcoming thriller Maalik.

The Gangster drama had its official trailer unveiled by its producers on Tuesday. On July 11, 2025, the action thriller movie will be released in theaters.

Jyotsana Nath and Pulkit co-wrote the action thriller drama film, which was directed by Pulkit. The main actors in the movie are Rajkummar Rao, Manushi Chhillar, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Saurabh Shukla, and Satish Badal.

It follows the plot of a man who defied the odds and rose to power in the underworld.

The film portrays a similar style to that of blockbuster OTT series like Mirzapur but given the mass appeal of the series, it is difficult for the makers to attract the audiences in the same way.

As Rajkummar Rao is seen as a mass hero in the film, it remains to be seen whether the film will be able to deliver and showcase Rajkummar Rao as the main star or not.

While the film approaches its ultimate release, only time will tell if the film will be able to have a huge impact at the box office ahead of its release.
