Consistency beats noise — and Mardaani 3 is proving exactly that at the box office. Instead of relying on flashy first-day hype, the film has built its run through steady growth, increasing footfalls, and glowing audience feedback. With collections rising across the weekend and strong appreciation for its content, the third installment is shaping up to be another dependable success story for the franchise.
A Fierce Return for Shivani Shivaji Roy
Leading from the front is Rani Mukerji, reprising her role as the fearless cop with the same intensity and authority that made the earlier films memorable. The performance is sharp, commanding, and packed with grit.
The film has been described as a relentless action thriller that keeps distractions aside and focuses purely on story and impact. Strong support comes from Mallika Prasad, Janki Bodivala, and Prajesh Kashyap, while Rani firmly anchors the narrative from start to finish.
Opening Weekend Sets the Base
The film established a solid foundation across its first three days, with collections climbing steadily and showing clear audience interest.
Day-wise collection (nett):
Day 1: ₹3.85 Cr
Day 2: ₹5.85 Cr
Day 3: ₹6.80 Cr
Total: ₹16.50 Cr
What stands out most is the upward trend each day — a strong indicator that more viewers joined in as the weekend progressed.
Weekend Momentum Builds Confidence
The growth from Friday to Sunday tells the real story.
Each day improved on the previous one — the kind of pattern trade analysts love to see. That usually reflects:
- Positive word-of-mouth
- Walk-in audiences
- Repeat viewers
- Family crowd stepping in over the weekend.
In today’s theatrical climate, organic buzz matters more than massive openings. And Mardaani 3 has that buzz working in its favor.
If weekday numbers remain steady, the lifetime business is comfortably expected to move toward the ₹35–40 Cr range, putting the film on track to join its predecessors as another successful entry.
Audience Response Driving the Run
Viewers are praising:
- Tightly packed screenplay
- Hard-hitting action
- Realistic tone
- Rani Mukerji’s commanding screen presence
The film keeps things crisp and purposeful — no excess, no distractions — which has resonated strongly with thriller fans. It’s the kind of movie people recommend after watching, and that’s gold for box office legs.
Border 2 Collection Update
Meanwhile, Border 2 continues its dream run at the box office. A magnificent ₹55 Cr+ second weekend has powered the film into the ₹300 Cr club within just 10 days. Sunny Deol scores his second ₹300 Cr film, while Varun Dhawan enters the club for the first time.
Day 1: ₹32.10 Cr
Day 2: ₹40.59 Cr
Day 3: ₹57.20 Cr

Day 7: ₹13.14 Cr
Day 8: ₹12.53 Cr

That’s not momentum — that’s a full-scale box office march.
