Mardaani 3 Box Office: Rani Mukerji’s Cop Drama Maintains Steady Run
Mardaani 3, starring Rani Mukerji alongside Janki Bodiwala and Mallika Prasad, continues to hold its own at the box office. The cop action thriller, directed by Abhiraj Minawala, added an estimated Rs 45 lakh on its third Wednesday, taking the third-week total to Rs 5 crore in six days.
The film is expected to wrap up its third week around Rs 5.50 crore, pushing its three-week cumulative tally to just over Rs 45 crore. With this momentum, Mardaani 3 is set to surpass Mardaani 2’s lifetime net of Rs 46.30 crore, making it the biggest grosser in the franchise. Based on current trends, the movie could finish its run around Rs 48–50 crore nett.
Budget and Profitability
While production costs for films have risen sharply in recent years—sometimes doubling or even tripling compared to a few years ago—Mardaani 3 was made on a controlled budget. Although its cost was roughly double that of Mardaani 2, strong non-theatrical revenues ensured overall recovery wasn’t an issue. The theatrical performance alone, expected to net around Rs 25 crore, points to a profitable venture.
