Rani Mukerji’s cop thriller Mardaani 3 kicked off strongly, netting ₹4 crore on Day 1 (Friday), ₹6 crore on Saturday, and ₹7.25 crore on Sunday for a solid domestic total of ₹17.50 crore in its first three days, per Sacnilk estimates. This surpasses Kajol’s Maa’s Day 3 ₹7 crore and eclipses the franchises’ prior openers—Mardaani 2’s ₹3.80 crore and original Mardaani’s ₹3.40 crore on debut. Globally, it hit ₹14.25 crore including ₹2.5 crore overseas, with ₹11.85 crore confirmed so far.
Directed by Abhiraj Minawala, produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films, and penned by Aayush Gupta, the film marks Rani’s 30th cinema anniversary. Featuring Janki Bodiwala and Mallika Prasad, this third installment builds on the series’ gritty legacy from 2014 and 2019. Strong word-of-mouth signals potential for a robust extended run.
