Mardaani 3 continued its steady run at the Indian box office on Day 16 (Saturday), collecting around ₹1.30 crore net. This marked a solid hold for the Rani Mukerji starrer in its third week, even as competition from new releases like O Romeo and Tu Yaa Main started to bite. The film has built a loyal audience base through strong word-of-mouth, keeping footfalls consistent in urban centres.
Early estimates for Day 17 (Sunday) look encouraging, with the movie projected to earn approximately ₹1.80 crore net. This reflects a healthy 38% jump from Saturday, typical for a Sunday when families head out. The trend suggests the film is benefiting from positive reviews and its relevant storyline on missing girls and crime.
Overall, Mardaani 3 has shown remarkable staying power. After a modest opening, it has picked up pace in the second and third weeks, proving that content-driven films can still find their audience in a crowded market.

About Mardaani 3 and Future Prediction
Mardaani 3 brings back Rani Mukerji as the no-nonsense ACP Shivani Shivaji Roy in what feels like the most urgent chapter yet. The story revolves around a race against time to rescue dozens of missing girls, touching on real issues like trafficking and corruption. Directed by Abhiraj Minawala, the film mixes intense action with emotional depth, and Rani’s powerhouse performance has been the biggest draw for audiences.
The movie has managed a decent theatrical journey so far, crossing ₹40 crore in just two weeks and now heading towards the ₹50 crore club. Its hold in the weekdays has been better than expected for a female-led film, and the third weekend is shaping up nicely. Positive buzz among families and women viewers is helping it stay relevant even as newer releases hit screens.
Going forward, Mardaani 3 looks set to cross the ₹50 crore net mark by next week if the Sunday and Monday hold well. With limited big competition in the coming days, it could wrap up with a lifetime of ₹55-60 crore net in India. That would make it a respectable performer, especially on a controlled budget, and a win for content that doesn’t rely on star power alone. The franchise clearly still has legs.
