Mardaani 3 box office

While the film opened to mixed reviews from the critics, Mardaani 3 became the highest-grossing instalment of the franchise, as per ANI.

When Mardaani 3 collected ₹47.55 crore in India, the film surpassed the earnings of the previous two films that made ₹47.51 crore (Mardaani 2) and ₹35.86 crore (Mardaani).

Reacting to the milestone, Rani Mukerji said in a statement, “I have always believed that Mardaani is not just a film, it is a voice -- a voice for every woman who refuses to be silenced. The love and success of Mardaani 3 feels deeply personal because it tells me that audiences are not just watching someone like Shivani Shivaji Roy's journey; they are standing with her for justice, for the victory of good over evil. This franchise stood for courage, for the resilience that women carry within them every single day. I am grateful, humbled, and more determined than ever to continue telling stories that matter.”

"It will always be a call to address such crimes head-on and tell us not to look away because it might not be affecting us. Even if one girl is affected, targeted, and attacked, it is the failure of our society that we haven't been able to protect her," she added.

Mardaani 3 is directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films.

After the third installment, makers hinted at the prospects of a fourth instalment in the franchise, Mardaani 4. However, Minawala clarified that although the team is open to continuing the story of Shivani Shivaji Roy, adding that the next chapter will only move forward when a suitable story is ready.
