MAALIK OVERVIEW: PLOT AND CAST DETAILS

Set in the gritty backdrop of 1980s Prayagraj (then Allahabad), Maalik unfolds the dark transformation of an ordinary man into a feared figure in the criminal underworld. What begins as a quest for power soon spirals into a violent tale of ambition, betrayal, and bloodshed.

The story centers on a man who rises through the treacherous world of crime, eventually finding himself at odds with a dominant local figure. As he climbs the ladder of power, the cost of his ambition becomes increasingly steep. The murky interplay of politics, corruption, and ruthless ambition begins to blur moral boundaries, transforming friendships into rivalries and aspirations into haunting consequences.

Rajkummar Rao leads the cast with a gripping performance, supported by Manushi Chhillar, Anshumaan Pushkar, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Huma Qureshi, and Swanand Kirkire. Maalik is not just a gangster drama-it's a raw, emotional journey into the heart of ambition and the cost of chasing power.
