Rani Mukerji’s return as the fearless cop Shivani Shivaji Roy in Mardaani 3 has kept audiences engaged, though the film faced a sharp drop after its opening weekend. On day 4, the movie collected around ₹2.15 crore nett in India, reflecting the usual Monday slowdown amid competition from other releases like Border 2. Early trends indicate steady word-of-mouth support in urban centers, where occupancy hovered at about 11% on average.
For day 5, early estimates suggest a slight dip, with collections projected between ₹1.80 crore and ₹2.00 crore nett. This comes as theater occupancy remains consistent in key cities like Mumbai and Delhi, based on initial reports from platforms like BookMyShow. The film’s focus on human trafficking has resonated with viewers, but weekday performance will be key to its overall run.
Overall, Mardaani 3 has accumulated roughly ₹21.55 crore nett in India after five days, showing resilience for a female-led action thriller. Compared to the previous films in the franchise, it has outperformed Mardaani 2’s opening but needs stronger holds to reach hit status. Trade feedback points to positive audience reactions driving repeat viewings in select areas.

About Mardaani 3 and Future Prediction
Mardaani 3, directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Yash Raj Films, brings back Rani Mukerji in her iconic role as ACP Shivani Shivaji Roy. The story follows her intense pursuit to rescue missing girls from a human trafficking ring, highlighting real societal issues with high-stakes action. Released on January 30, 2026, the film also features strong supporting performances and has earned praise for its gripping narrative and Mukerji’s commanding presence.
Looking ahead, the movie’s future at the box office appears moderate, with potential to cross ₹50 crore nett in India if weekdays stabilize. Positive reviews and urban appeal could extend its run, but competition from upcoming releases may limit growth. Analysts predict a lifetime collection around ₹60-70 crore worldwide, marking it as a respectable earner for the franchise.
Given the budget and current trends, Mardaani 3 is likely to break even through theatrical and digital rights, though it may not achieve blockbuster status. Strong OTT performance on platforms like Netflix, expected in late March, could boost its reach. Overall, the film reinforces the series’ reputation for meaningful storytelling in Indian cinema.
