Every once in a while, a trailer drops and the internet pauses. That’s what happened with the official trailer of Maalik. Clocking in at 2 minutes and 45 seconds, it’s sharp, explosive, and doesn’t waste a single second.
Fronted by the ever-versatile Rajkummar Rao, Maalik promises raw action, ruthless ambition, and a heavy dose of gangster swag. And let us tell you, Rajkummar is no longer the middle-class guy next door. He’s Maalik now. And he’s dangerous.
Maalik Trailer
The trailer wastes no time introducing us to the world of Maalik. Rajkummar Rao plays the son of a powerless man, but he’s not ready to inherit weakness. His dialogue, “Main majboor baap ka beta hoon, lekin aapko majboot beta ka baap banna padega”, hits hard and sets the tone for what’s to come.
Maalik doesn’t just want to survive—he wants to rule. He wants power, political clout, and revenge. This is a man on a mission, and he’s ready to burn the world down if that’s what it takes.
Maalik: A Little Pushpa And A Dash Of Animal
Let’s call it like it is—yes, Maalik does remind us of blockbusters like Pushpa and Animal. There are those fiery stares, loaded guns, slow-motion shots, and big, masculine energy. But Maalik manages to keep its own identity.
Rajkummar’s transformation is unreal. He looks brutal, broken, and brilliant all at once. Whether he’s holding a gun or holding back a tear, his eyes speak volumes. And when he becomes Maalik, it’s not just about action—it’s about pain, rage, and rebellion.
Maalik Vs The System: A Dirty Game Of Power
Set in 1980s Allahabad, the film dives deep into the world of politics and crime, two sides of the same dirty coin. Maalik wants to rise, but the higher he climbs, the more enemies he makes.
Enter Prosenjit Chatterjee, the fierce cop sent to bring him down. In one of the most chilling trailer moments, he tells Maalik’s wife (played by Manushi Chhillar), “Tumhare pati ko marne ke liye bheja gaya hoon.” The tension is electric, and you can feel the storm brewing between Maalik and the system.

Let’s talk about that final scene in the trailer. Maalik stands, gripping a rope—at the other end, four men hang. No music, no distractions—just intensity. You won’t blink. You can’t.
That moment alone is enough to tell us—this isn’t just another gangster movie. Maalik means business.
