Rani Mukerji's 'Mardaani 3' rakes in Rs 4 crore on opening day

Rani Mukerji's Mardaani 3 opens with Rs 4 crore, surpassing the first two films. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shares the figures.

"The healthy start of #Mardaani3 rubbishes those claims. - Taran Adarsh"

Mumbai, January 31

Rani Mukerji's 'Mardaani 3' registered a decent opening at the box office.

As per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the movie raked in Rs 4 crore on the opening day.

"#Mardaani3, which followed a compact release strategy by #YRF [limited screens and restricted shows], has opened better than expected, higher than the first two instalments. 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 #Mardaani3 rubbishes those claims. #Mardaani3 now needs to register an upward trend over the weekend, coupled with a steady run on weekdays - just like the first two instalments - to ensure a winning run," he posted.

"#Mardaani3 [Week 1] Fri ₹ 4 cr. #India biz | Official Nett BOC | #Boxoffice," Adarsh added.

Directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Aditya Chopra, 'Mardaani 3' carries forward the franchise's legacy of hard-hitting, socially relevant storytelling.

While 'Mardaani' spotlighted the grim world of human trafficking and 'Mardaani 2' explored the chilling mind of a brutal serial offender, the third instalment dives into yet another dark and urgent social issue, reinforcing the series' reputation for impactful, issue-driven cinema.

The release of 'Mardaani 3' is also significant for the actress as it coincides with Rani Mukerji completing 30 years in cinema, a landmark moment that has prompted widespread appreciation and celebration across the film industry.

Rs 4 crore is decent, but let's be honest, for a franchise film and with Rani's star power, I was expecting a bigger opening. Hope the word-of-mouth is strong over the weekend. The content seems good, so it should pick up.

The limited release strategy by YRF is smart. Creates demand. More than the box office, what matters is that such films get made. We need more female-led action thrillers that aren't just about glamour but have a solid story. Booking my tickets for Sunday!

As someone who loved the first two, I'm thrilled! The numbers prove audiences are ready for strong female protagonists. Rani is absolutely fierce as Shivani Shivaji Roy. Can't wait to see what social issue they tackle this time.

Respectfully, while I appreciate the intent, the opening day collection is still quite modest compared to the big male-star openers. It highlights the existing disparity. But every step counts. Hope this trend continues upwards for all female-centric films.

ज़बरदस्त! What a way to celebrate 30 years. Rani Mukerji is an institution. The franchise keeps getting better openings, which is the real victory. It's about consistent quality. The weekend numbers will tell the full story. All the best team Mardaani 3!
