Who Will Lead The Day 1 Box Office Race?

By Correspondent On Jul 11, 2025

This Friday saw three major releases Maalik, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, and Hollywood’s Superman. While the Bollywood titles are expected to open on a dull note, Superman is predicted to lead with stronger numbers. Early trends suggest Superman could dominate the weekend too, unless the Indian releases see an unexpected surge in footfall.

Superman Predicted Box Office Collection Day 1

Superman is expected to lead the box office on Day 1 in India, with predicted earnings in the range of Rs 8-10 crore. The film has generated strong buzz and is being praised for its scale and storytelling, which is likely to reflect in solid weekend growth as well.

Superman, directed by James Gunn and it stars David Corenswet in the key role, alongside Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced.

Maalik Predicted Box Office Collection Day 1

Maalik, starring Rajkummar Rao, is predicted to earn Rs 3-4 crore on its opening day. While the number is decent for a mid range film, it’s far from enough considering the movie’s reported budget of Rs 50 crore. The weekend will be crucial for Maalik to gain momentum and avoid an early setback.

The action drama sees Rajkummar in a gritty, high octane avatar alongside Manushi Chhillar. Set in Allahabad, 1988, Maalik dives into the gritty underworld, with Rao portraying a cunning, rowdy, and ruthlessly deadly gangster. Directed by Pulkit, the film stars Prosenjit Chatterjee and Manushi Chhillar alongside Rao in pivotal roles.

Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan Predicted Box Office Collection Day 1

Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, featuring Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor, is heading toward a disappointing start. Day 1 predictions suggest a collection of just Rs 40–50 lakh, putting the film in a tough spot. Only a surprising surge over Saturday and Sunday can help turn things around.

Shanaya Kapoor portrays a theatre artist, while Vikrant Massey plays a blind musician. Directed by Santosh Singh, the film is based on Ruskin Bond’s short story The Eyes Have It.
