Mardaani 3, starring Rani Mukerji in the lead role, registered a hue spike on Valentine’s Day. The movie jumped by nearly 3x times of previous day, adding Rs. 1.75 crore to the tally. This brings its total cume to Rs. 42.25 crore. The cop action drama may see a drop on Sunday but if it remains steady, that be great.
The third weekend of the Rani Mukerji starrer is looking to be around Rs. 3.75 crore and the full week could be around Rs. 5.25 crore or so, which will put it on course to near or over Rs. 50 crore lifetime.
Mardaani 3 emerged as a successful venture. The latest installment have shown strong legs despite facing holdover release, Border 2. With two new releases, O’Romeo and Tu Yaa Main this weekend, the biz will eventually dip. Still, it’s an encouraging hold. Directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by YRF, Mardaani emerged as the only successful female-led franchise from Hindi cinema.

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.
