Mardaani 3 has had a good and steady start at the box office on its first day. The film has collected around Rs 3.80 crore nett on the first day in India. This figure is based on initial estimates from the Sacnilk website. Even though this number may not seem very big, it is considered a very good opening for a film with such a serious story. Because this is not a big masala-entertainer or a dance-song commercial film.

Its theme is quite serious, which is based on sensitive issues like human trafficking and crime, so the audience comes to watch it with some caution. Still, the beginning has been strong and hopeful. Rani Mukherjee has played the role of ACP Shivani Shivaji Roy in the film, who is the lead heroine of the Mardaani series. This character was very much liked in the first two films also. Fans were waiting for a long time for Rani to return to this role and she did not disappoint. His acting is being praised everywhere.

Queen’s powerful performance

It has been written in the reviews of many news websites that Rani has proved why she is liked so much in the role of Shivani Roy. She fits the bill perfectly as an honest, courageous and simple police officer. Right from the initial scene of the film, he has performed the action and stunts with full enthusiasm and energy. His performance is as brilliant and powerful as the first two parts.

Cast and direction made the story strong

The film has been directed by Abhiraj Meenawala. Apart from Rani Mukherjee, actors like Janaki Bodiwala and Mallika Prasad are in important roles. Mallika Prasad has played the role of ‘Amma’, who is the head of the human trafficking network. It was said in the review that Mallika has played her role well, but there is nothing new in her character. Another strong character is that of Prajesh Kashyap. He is playing the role of an old victim who is fighting against the beggar mafia and traffickers. His character is being said to be quite impressive and powerful. There was a good increase in occupancy throughout the day. On January 30, 2026 (Friday), the average total occupancy of the film in Hindi was 18.01%. The most important thing was that the occupancy kept increasing continuously throughout the day.

Morning Show: 8.97%

Afternoon Show: 14.78%

Evening shows: 17.13%

Night shows: 31.14%

According to occupancy, more people reached the theater in the evening and night. This is a very positive hint for the film, because such serious films often have a slow start, but good reviews can increase the collection in the future.
