With a runtime of 2 hours and 29 minutes, it delivers full justice to every second. I can write it on stamp paper — this movie is totally worth your time.. 🧨 1st Half & 2nd Half: The first half builds strong characters and emotional depth. The second half? It grips like a storm. The tension, the storytelling pace, the power — it explodes like a father-level cinematic moment. The screenplay never loosens its hold..”

Maalik में Rajkummar Rao का performance हमेशा की तरह दमदार है, लेकिन फिल्म की writing और pace उतनी strong नहीं है। कई scenes drag करते हैं, और screenplay predictable है।

Director ने एक important issue उठाया है, लेकिन impact थोड़ा कम हो गया है।

Rating: 3*/5 ⭐⭐⭐ #RajkummarRao shines in and as #Maalik in the film, his performance is really electrifying. #ManushiChhillar looks beautiful and did a great job. First half is BOMBARDING but the second half lacks a bit in the… pic.twitter.com/YFZuQyIwvg
From farmer’s son to feared mafia kingpin… #Maalik is a gritty ride through 1990s Allahabad, powered by Rajkummar Rao’s fiery portrayal. Story’s predictable, but Rao elevates the film to another level with his strong performance. Watch it for him.#MaalikReview @RajkummarRao pic.twitter.com/UONv3AKOGL
