New Delhi, Feb 1 (.) Rani Mukerji’s Mardaani 3 opened to a decent start at the box office, earning Rs 4 crore on its first day.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the figures on social media, noting that the film has performed better than the previous two installments despite a limited release.
“Mardaani3, which followed a compact release strategy by YRF limited screens and restricted shows], has opened better than expected, higher than the first two installments. Day 1 biz – Mardaani: Rs 3.46 cr, Mardaani2: Rs 3.80 cr, Mardaani3: Rs 4 cr. There was a misconception that mid-range films – especially female-centric films – don’t open well, but the healthy start of Mardaani 3 rubbishes those claims. Mardaani 3 now needs to register an upward trend over the weekend, coupled with a steady run on weekdays – just like the first two installments – to ensure a winning run,” Adarsh posted.
He further added, “Mardaani3 Week 1 Fri Rs 4 cr. India biz, Official Nett BOC , Boxoffice.”
Directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Aditya Chopra, ‘Mardaani 3’ continues the franchise’s tradition of delivering hard-hitting, socially relevant narratives. While Mardaani focused on the grim realities of human trafficking and ‘Mardaani 2’ delved into the psyche of a ruthless serial offender, the third installment tackles another urgent social issue, reinforcing the series’ reputation for impactful, issue-driven cinema.
The film’s release is especially significant for Rani Mukerji, as it coincides with her completing 30 years in the film industry, a milestone that has been widely acknowledged and celebrated by the industry and audiences alike.
