# Maalik (1972)

1972 · India


## Synopsis

Maalik is a 1972 Indian Hindi-language spiritual drama film directed by A. Bhimsingh. The film stars Sharmila Tagore and Rajesh Khanna. Ashok Kumar played a special appearance. It is a loose remake of Tamil film Thunaivan. It was the second box office flop in the career of Rajesh Khanna since the beginning of his 17 consecutive hits from 1969 to 1971. The film was critically acclaimed. There were other films of Khanna which were running well at the box office, such as Mere Jeevan Saathi, Apna Desh, Amar Prem and Shehzada in the same year, due to which this spiritual film was not screened by in many theatres by distributors, due to which producers suffered losses.
