In a year filled with high expectations and heavyweight releases, Jio Studios’ 2025 slate has delivered a mixed bag of fortunes. After several anticipated films struggled to find an audience, one title emerged as a box office savior for the studio
Three OTT-bred filmmakers took their shot at theatrical success with Maa, Maalik, and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. Despite strong actors and buzz, all three failed to deliver at the box office. Here’s a deep dive into why their streaming-first mindset didn’t work in cinemas.
Rajkummar Rao’s Maalik promises intense action but feels like a rehash of Mirzapur and other OTT gangster dramas. With director Pulkit following a path similar to Maa’s Vishal Furia, Maalik risks becoming another big-screen misfire.
Kajol delivers a powerful performance in Maa, but the film gets bogged down in myth-building, losing its horror edge and momentum in this sluggish mythological thriller.
Kajol’s horror thriller Maa becomes one of the rare Hindi films in its genre to receive a U/A 16+ certificate from CBFC without any cuts. Backed by Ajay Devgn’s Devgn Films and directed by Vishal Furia, the film is set to release on June 27.
