Maalik Release Date: Rajkummar Rao’s Gangster Saga Is Finally Streaming — Here’s the Catch

Rajkummar Rao fans, the wait is over — sort of. After a theatrical run that started on July 11, 2025, Maalik has landed on OTT, and the Maalik release date for streaming comes with a twist you’ll want to know before you hit play.

When Did Maalik Release on OTT?

Maalik quietly began streaming on Amazon Prime Video starting August 26, 2025, right after wrapping up its theatrical run. But here’s the catch — it isn’t a free watch for Prime members. You’ll need to pay extra to rent it, even with an active subscription.

Maalik OTT Details

What Is Maalik About?

Set against the gritty backdrop of 1980s Allahabad, Maalik follows Deepak — a young man from a humble farming background who claws his way up to become a feared and formidable gangster. The film digs into ambition, betrayal, corruption, and how unchecked power reshapes both relationships and identity.

Rajkummar Rao leads a stacked ensemble cast including Prosenjit Chatterjee, Manushi Chhillar, Huma Qureshi, Anshuman Pushkar, and Swanand Kirkire.

Did Maalik Perform Well at the Box Office?

Not quite. Against a reported budget of ₹54 crore, Maalik earned around ₹25.6 crore in India over 13 days — a number that had trade circles calling it an underperformer despite the film’s strong performances and dark, layered storytelling.
