Rani Mukerji’s crime thriller Mardaani 3 has witnessed a significant dip in its box office numbers. After a decent weekend performance, the film’s collections dropped by 69% on its first Monday, earning only ₹2.25 crore. This brings the total domestic earnings to roughly ₹19.75 crore since its release on January 30 .
The sharp decline suggests stiff competition from Sunny Deol’s Border 2, which is dominating the ticket counters. In this third installment of the hit franchise, Rani reprises her role as the fierce cop Shivani Shivaji Roy, tackling a massive child trafficking ring to rescue missing girls across India .
While the film received mixed reviews, with critics calling the plot predictable, Rani’s powerful performance has been widely appreciated. The movie raises critical questions about women’s safety, leaving audiences with a strong message despite the slowing box office momentum .
