Mardaani 3, starring Rani Mukerji, recorded an estimated ₹2 crore net in India on its sixth day at the box office, according to early trade figures. With this, the crime thriller’s six-day India net collection stands at approximately ₹24.25 crore, reflecting a stable midweek hold after the opening weekend.
The sixth-day performance, coming on a Wednesday, indicates that the film has managed to retain a section of its core audience despite the usual weekday slowdown faced by theatrical releases.
Sixth-Day Performance: How The Film Fared Midweek
Trade trackers reported that Mardaani 3 maintained collections close to the previous day’s numbers, suggesting steady footfalls in urban centres and multiplexes. While weekday earnings are typically lower for content-driven thrillers, the film’s ability to stay around the ₹2 crore mark on day six points to sustained interest among franchise followers.
Industry observers note that crime dramas with serious themes often rely on word of mouth rather than mass openings, making midweek stability a key indicator of long-term performance.
Box Office Breakdown: Performance Over The First Six Days
After opening with ₹4 crore on its first Friday, Mardaani 3 saw significant growth over the weekend. The film collected around ₹6.25 crore on Saturday and ₹7.25 crore on Sunday, taking its opening weekend total to over ₹17 crore.
Collections dipped on Monday, with the film earning approximately ₹2.25 crore, followed by a slight improvement on Tuesday at ₹2.6 crore. The ₹2 crore on day six has helped the film maintain momentum through its first working week, bringing the cumulative total to ₹24.25 crore net in India.
About The Film: Story, Cast And Franchise Legacy
Mardaani 3 is the third instalment in the Mardaani franchise, produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by Abhiraj Minawala. Rani Mukerji reprises her role as SSP Shivani Shivaji Roy, a determined police officer tackling a high-stakes case involving the disappearance of young girls and organised crime.
The film continues the franchise’s tradition of tackling socially relevant issues through a gritty investigative narrative. The Mardaani series has earned recognition for portraying a strong female law enforcement officer at its centre, setting it apart from conventional commercial thrillers.
Competition And Outlook Going Forward
The film’s box office run has coincided with strong competition from other major releases, limiting its screen count in certain regions. Despite this, Mardaani 3 has held its ground in multiplexes, particularly in metropolitan markets.
With its first week nearing completion, trade analysts will closely watch how the film performs over the coming weekend to assess whether it can sustain collections and build on its current total.
