According to early estimates reported by Sacnilk.com, the film earned ₹2.15 crore nett on its first Monday, taking its total India collection to approximately ₹19.65 crore.

Released in theatres on Friday, the Abhiraj Minwala directorial has shown consistent growth over the weekend before witnessing the expected weekday drop.

About The Film And Rani Mukerji’s Statement

Produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner, Mardaani 3 continues the franchise’s tradition of hard-hitting, socially relevant storytelling. While Mardaani (2014) explored the dark realities of human trafficking and Mardaani 2 focused on the psyche of a brutal serial offender, the third instalment tackles another urgent social issue, reinforcing the series’ reputation for issue-driven cinema.

Written by Aayush Gupta, the film also stars Janki Bodiwala and Mallika Prasad. The story follows SSP Shivani Shivaji Roy as she probes the alarming case of 93 young girls who have gone missing within a span of three months. The first film was directed by Pradeep Sarkar, while Mardaani 2 was helmed by Gopi Puthran.

On Monday, Rani Mukerji shared a powerful statement highlighting the purpose behind the film. Speaking about cinema’s role beyond entertainment, she said the response from audiences has been overwhelming.

“This film belongs to every viewer who believes that cinema can do more than entertain… it can maybe speak to our conscience. If Mardaani 3 has moved you, disturbed you, or made you think – then it has done its job. Discomfort is where change begins. Our girls do not need our sympathy. They need our protection. They need our courage. They need our voices right now and not tomorrow because just a film alone cannot bring change. Change begins in our homes, in our schools, in our streets. It begins when we teach our sons how to respect, when we empower our daughters with confidence and when we stand up for a girl child who cannot stand up for herself,” she said as quoted by news agency PTI.
