Rani Mukerji’s Mardaani 3 continues its run at the box office on day 20, with early estimates indicating a collection of around ₹0.10 crore net in India. This comes after a modest performance on day 19, where the film earned approximately ₹0.11 crore, reflecting a steady but downward trend amid stiff competition from new releases like O’Romeo and Border 2. The movie, which started strong with positive word-of-mouth, has seen occupancy levels drop in theaters, as per industry reports from sites like BookMyShow, where shows are now limited in many cities.
The overall performance so far places Mardaani 3 in a challenging spot, with total India net collections nearing ₹45 crore. Trends suggest a slowdown in weekday earnings, influenced by reduced screen counts and audience shifts toward fresher content. Despite this, the film’s core appeal in urban centers has helped it maintain some momentum, though rural markets have shown limited interest.
Looking ahead, experts predict the thriller will struggle to cross the ₹50 crore mark domestically, given the current pace. However, its overseas earnings provide a slight buffer, contributing to a worldwide total that edges close to recovery. Fans of the franchise appreciate the intense narrative, but broader appeal seems capped in this installment.

About Mardaani 3 and Future Prediction
Mardaani 3, directed by Gopi Puthran and produced by Yash Raj Films, features Rani Mukerji reprising her role as the fearless police officer Shivani Shivaji Roy. The story delves into a gripping tale of combating child trafficking networks, blending high-stakes action with emotional depth. Released on January 30, 2026, the film builds on the success of its predecessors by highlighting themes of women’s empowerment and justice in a male-dominated field.
Critics have praised Mukerji’s powerful performance and the film’s intense pacing, though some noted a familiar formula compared to earlier entries. Audience feedback on social media platforms like X emphasizes its relevance to real-world issues, with occupancy rates starting high in metros but tapering off in smaller towns due to competing releases.
Given the current trajectory, Mardaani 3 is likely to wrap up its theatrical run around ₹46-48 crore net in India, falling short of full budget recovery when including marketing costs. Worldwide, it may reach ₹70 crore, classifying it as an average performer. Future prospects could improve with OTT release, where the franchise has historically gained a wider viewership.
