Mardaani 3, starring Rani Mukerji in the titular role, added Rs. 45 lakh to the tally on its third Thursday, bringing the third week’s cume to Rs. 5.45 crore nett. The drop from the previous week is around Rs. 60 percent. With two new releases coming this weekend, Mardaani 3 is now in its final legs at the box office.
The Rani Mukerji movie wrapped its three-week’s cume at Rs. 45.35 crore nett at the Indian box office. It is only Rs. 1 crore away from surpassing the final earnings of Mardaani 2, which netted Rs. 46.30 crore in 2019. Based on the current trends, Mardaani 3 should emerge as the biggest grosser of the franchise in its 4th weekend itself. It is likely to wind its entire run around Rs. 48 crore to Rs. 50 crore nett in India.
It will be a good result for Mardaani 3, as business has gone down severely for mid-sized films in the post-pandemic times. Even A-list starrers are struggling to find the audience. In such times, if a female-led movie managing to recover its cost of production, its a success.

One thing that has been going wrong with films lately is that the costs have increased a lot. A film that used to cost x a couple of years ago has increased to 2x, some even going 3x. Mardaani 3 has done well in this regard as the film has been made in controlled budget. While it does cost 2x of Mardaani 2, the film had solid non-theatrical recoveries, so overall recovery wasn’t an issue. The theatrical recovery will be quite decent at around Rs. 25 crore and will end up as a profitable venture.
