Mardaani 3, directed by Abhiraj Minawala, saw a noticeable slowdown at the box office on its second Monday, registering a drop of roughly 35% compared to last Friday.
The Rani Mukerji–led cop action drama collected around ₹1.25 crore on the day, taking its total India nett collection to ₹36 crore. With the second week expected to wrap up at approximately ₹14 crore, the film’s domestic total is now tracking close to the ₹40 crore nett mark.
Weekend Competition Looms
From the coming weekend, Mardaani 3 will face fresh competition from Shahid Kapoor’s O’ Romeo, which is expected to significantly reduce its screen count.
If the film manages to hold its ground despite the new release, it is likely to wrap up its theatrical run at around ₹45 crore nett in India — a figure similar to the lifetime collection of Mardaani 2.
On the global front, the film’s worldwide gross is projected to land near ₹65 crore by the end of its theatrical run.
Controlled Budget Works in the Film’s Favour
One recurring challenge for recent releases has been the sharp rise in production costs. Films that once cost x to make are now being mounted at 2x or even 3x those budgets.
In that context, Mardaani 3 appears to have been produced with reasonable cost control. While its budget is roughly double that of Mardaani 2, it remains manageable — especially with strong non-theatrical recoveries helping to cushion the overall financial picture.
