Set in the rural, rusty and politically charged Allahabad of the 1980s, Maalik is a peek into the making of a dreaded gangster from a humble background with intoxication of power to rule the world.

"'Maalik' is too long, too dull, too by-the-numbers. The film is predictable to a fault – a new gangster drama with old beats is not the break-out that Rao must have been hoping for."

"It's a complete surrender to unoriginality! Anyone schooled in Hindi gangsta rap could have written this script, which specializes in a complete and studied lack of inventiveness. The beginning, middle, and end are so utterly predictable that one only waits to see at which and to what extent the predictable happens."
