Mardaani 3, starring Rani Mukerji, witnessed a notable surge in box office collections on its last reported day, with the film earning ₹3.5 crore net in India on Day 9 (second Saturday), according to trade tracker data. The strong weekend jump marked one of the film’s best single-day performances after its opening weekend and helped push the overall India net total to ₹31.65 crore.
The sharp rise on Day 9 reflects renewed audience interest during the second weekend, offering a boost to the film after a relatively steady weekday run.
Second Weekend Push Lifts Collections
After collecting ₹1.85 crore on Day 8 (second Friday), Mardaani 3 saw an almost 89% jump in collections on Saturday. Trade analysts attribute the growth to weekend footfalls and the film’s continued appeal among multiplex audiences, particularly in urban centres.
The Day 9 performance suggests that the crime thriller managed to hold its ground despite competition and the natural drop usually seen after the first week.
How The Film Performed During Week One
Mardaani 3 opened its theatrical run with ₹4 crore on Day 1 (first Friday). The film showed strong growth over the opening weekend, earning ₹6.25 crore on Saturday and ₹7.25 crore on Sunday, driven by positive audience turnout.
Collections dipped sharply on Monday (₹2.25 crore), a trend typical for non-holiday releases. However, the film stabilised midweek, collecting ₹2.6 crore on Tuesday, ₹2.1 crore on Wednesday, and ₹1.85 crore on Thursday. The first-week total stood at ₹26.3 crore, setting the stage for the second weekend performance.
About The Film And Franchise
Mardaani 3 is the third instalment in the Mardaani franchise, with Rani Mukerji reprising her role as Shivani Shivaji Roy, a senior police officer tackling serious crime. The franchise has been known for its gritty narrative and focus on socially relevant issues, and the latest film continues in the same vein.
While not positioned as a mass entertainer, Mardaani 3 has found steady support among audiences who favour intense thrillers led by strong central performances.
Box Office Outlook
With ₹31.65 crore collected by the end of the last reported day, the film’s performance indicates resilience beyond its opening week. Trade watchers will now keep an eye on how Mardaani 3 sustains collections in the coming days, especially with weekday trends following the second weekend.
