Maalik and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan 1st day box office collection: Two highly anticipated Bollywood films—Maalik and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan—hit cinemas today, July 11, 2025, setting the stage for a cinematic showdown between action and romance. While both films generated pre-release buzz for different reasons, their Day 1 box office performance paints a clear picture: audiences favored action over emotion.
Starring Rajkummar Rao in an intense action-packed role, Maalik managed a slow opening, collected Rs 4.02 crore on its first day. The film has clearly emerged as the stronger performer of the two.
In stark contrast, Vikrant Massey and debutante Shanaya Kapoor’s romantic drama Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan struggled to find footing at the box office. Its Day 1 collection stands at a mere Rs 0.34 crore, with occupancy hovering around 5-6% across major cities.
As the box office battle unfolds, Maalik appears to have taken the lead with a respectable opening, whereas Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan may need more than just romantic charm to stay afloat. With the weekend ahead and competing releases including Superman drawing strong footfall, both films are now relying heavily on audience word-of-mouth to shape their fate.
Stay tuned for Saturday and Sunday collection updates to see if Maalik consolidates its position—or if there’s still hope for Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan to bounce back.
