Maalik Trailer Review & Release Date: A Gritty Glimpse into 1980s Allahabad Underworld

Scheduled to release in theatres on July 11, Maalik is set in 1980s Allahabad (now Prayagraj) and traces the meteoric and violent rise of a man driven by unrelenting ambition. The Maalik trailer opens with powerful visuals of Rao’s character navigating a blood-soaked landscape of political corruption, unchecked violence, and cold-blooded vengeance.

Rajkummar Rao’s Most Intense Role Yet

As seen in the Maalik trailer, Rao’s character swaggers with authority, guns down rivals without hesitation, and commands loyalty through sheer fear. It’s a dramatic shift from his earlier performances, and fans are already praising the transformation on social media.

The film also stars Manushi Chhillar, Saurabh Shukla, and Prosenjit Chatterjee, adding further depth to this political crime saga. Shukla plays a local political strongman — a perfect foil to Rao’s rising gangster — while Chatterjee appears as a gritty, no-nonsense cop on a mission to bring down Maalik.

The Maalik trailer evokes strong comparisons to cult classics like Mirzapur and Gangs of Wasseypur, thanks to its raw depiction of small-town crime, corruption, and guns blazing in every other scene. In one gripping sequence, a dead-eyed Maalik shoots down an entire corridor of enemies, leaving no room for mercy or survivors.
