Action Thriller Continues Decent Run in Cinemas

Rani Mukerji’s latest crime drama, Mardaani 3, has maintained a steady presence at the box office five days after its theatrical release. The film, which premiered on 30 January 2025, marked the return of Mukerji in her role as a fierce police officer. Known for its intense storyline and action sequences, the film has earned ₹19.75 crore so far.

Strong Opening Followed by Slowed Momentum

Mardaani 3 had a promising start upon release, drawing positive audience reception and registering solid earnings in the first few days. The action-packed narrative and Rani Mukerji’s performance were key factors in its initial success. However, by its fifth day in theatres, the film’s daily collection rate has begun to slow down, reflecting a common trend seen in midweek screenings.

Despite the slight dip in daily revenue compared to opening figures, the film has sustained overall momentum owing to word-of-mouth and continued viewer interest, particularly among fans of the franchise.

Continuing the Legacy of the Franchise

The third instalment in the Mardaani series, the film builds on the legacy of its predecessors. The original Mardaani (2014) introduced audiences to the character of Shivani Shivaji Roy, an acting police officer committed to justice. Its sequel, released in 2019, further established the franchise as a successful blend of emotional drama and action-driven storytelling.

In Mardaani 3, Rani Mukerji reprises her role and faces a new set of challenges in her fight against organised crime. The continuation of the franchise has helped secure interest from an established fan base, contributing to the film’s sustained box office performance.

Weekday Trends Likely to Influence Overall Earnings

As the film moves into its second week after release, weekday footfalls are expected to influence the overall box office figures. With a competitive lineup of other theatrical releases and changing audience patterns, the film’s upcoming performance will determine its long-term success.

Mardaani 3 remains one of the key releases of the season, particularly in its genre. Its box office journey so far reflects a stable presence, with collections set to increase over the weekend if positive attendance continues.
