Mumbai: Rani Mukerji’s ‘Mardaani 3’ registered a decent opening at the box office.
As per trade analyst the movie raked in Rs 4 crore on the opening day.
“Mardaani3, which followed a compact release strategy by #YRF [limited screens and restricted shows], has opened better than expected, higher than the first two instalments. Day 1 biz – #Mardaani: Rs 3.46 cr #Mardaani2: Rs 3.80 cr #Mardaani3: Rs 4 cr There was a misconception that mid-range films – especially female-centric films – don’t open well, but the healthy start of #Mardaani3 rubbishes those claims. #Mardaani3 now needs to register an upward trend over the weekend, coupled with a steady run on weekdays – just like the first two instalments – to ensure a winning run,” he posted.

Directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Aditya Chopra, ‘Mardaani 3’ carries forward the franchise’s legacy of hard-hitting, socially relevant storytelling.
While ‘Mardaani’ spotlighted the grim world of human trafficking and ‘Mardaani 2′ explored the chilling mind of a brutal serial offender, the third instalment dives into yet another dark and urgent social issue, reinforcing the series’ reputation for impactful, issue-driven cinema.
The release of ‘Mardaani 3’ is also significant for the actress as it coincides with Rani Mukerji completing 30 years in cinema, a landmark moment that has prompted widespread appreciation and celebration across the film industry.
