Mardaani 3, starring Rani Mukerji, continues its steady run at the Indian box office despite facing competition from recent releases like Border 2 and O’Romeo. On Day 22, the film collected an estimated ₹0.25 crore net, reflecting a typical weekday dip as theatre occupancy hovered around 10-15% in major cities, according to trends observed on platforms like BookMyShow. This brought the cumulative net collection close to ₹47.55 crore, showcasing the movie’s resilience driven by positive word-of-mouth in urban centres.
Entering Day 23, early estimates indicate a slight uptick with ₹0.45 crore net, aided by the Saturday boost where morning and afternoon shows reported improved occupancy of about 20-25% in metros like Mumbai and Delhi. This represents a roughly 80% jump from the previous day, aligning with weekend patterns for mid-budget thrillers. The film’s consistent performance in mass circuits and its appeal to female audiences have helped maintain momentum, though overall earnings remain modest amid a crowded release calendar.
As Mardaani 3 enters its fourth week, the trend suggests a gradual slowdown, but the franchise’s loyal fanbase could push it past the ₹50 crore net mark in India. Compared to its predecessors, it has already surpassed Mardaani 2’s lifetime collection, marking a positive note for Yash Raj Films. With no major holidays ahead, the focus shifts to sustained weekday holds to maximize its final tally.

About Mardaani 3 and Future Prediction
Mardaani 3 marks the final chapter in Yash Raj Films’ acclaimed cop thriller series, with Rani Mukerji reprising her role as the determined police officer Shivani Shivaji Roy. Directed by Abhiraj Minawala, the film follows Shivani as she unravels a chilling case involving the disappearance of 93 young girls over three months, blending high-stakes action with social commentary on modern crime and technology’s role in exploitation. Co-starring Janki Bodiwala and Mallika Prasad, it has received mixed-to-positive reviews for its gripping narrative and Mukerji’s powerful performance, though some critics noted familiar tropes from earlier installments.
The movie’s box office journey has been solid for a content-driven project, recovering nearly 80% of its ₹60 crore budget through theatrical and non-theatrical deals. Its success builds on the franchise’s legacy, outperforming Mardaani (₹35.85 crore net) and Mardaani 2 (₹47.51 crore net) in India, thanks to strong urban appeal and steady holds in multiplexes. However, competition from big-ticket films has capped its potential in smaller towns.
Looking ahead, Mardaani 3 is projected to wrap up with around ₹52-55 crore net in India, earning an average verdict given its controlled costs. With overseas markets contributing steadily, the worldwide total could approach ₹80 crore. Future earnings will depend on digital rights and satellite deals, positioning it as a profitable venture for the makers despite not hitting blockbuster status.
