About Mardaani 3
Set in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, the film follows the abduction of two young girls — Ruhani, the daughter of an Indian diplomat, and Jhimli, the daughter of a domestic worker — who go missing while playing together. Owing to the involvement of a high-profile victim, NIA officer Shivani Shivaji Roy is assigned to investigate the case.
As the probe deepens, Shivani uncovers a vast and disturbing criminal network responsible for the disappearance of 93 young girls aged between eight and nine years, mostly from underprivileged families, over a span of three months.
While the first two films in the franchise Mardaani (2014) and Mardaani 2 (2019) performed well at the box office, the third instalment has struggled to replicate their commercial success.
Made on a reported budget of Rs 60 crore (as per a Times of India report), the film marks Rani Mukerji’s return as the fierce cop Shivani Shivaji Roy, for which she reportedly charged Rs 7 crore. Mallika Prasad plays the primary antagonist, Amma, while Janki Bodiwala appears in a key role.
Produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Abhiraj Minawala, Mardaani 3 was released in theatres on January 30, 2026.
