Mardaani 3 Clocks Rs 22.25 Cr in 5 Days Amid Weekday Dip
Rani Mukerji's Mardaani 3 shows a modest weekday hold, tallying Rs 22.25 crore in five days as Border 2 competition lingers.
Rani Mukerji's crime drama Mardaani 3 has posted a modest weekday performance, adding Rs 2.50 crore on Day 5 to bring its India tally to Rs 22.25 crore in five days. After a robust weekend, the film faced a noticeable drop as the working week began, a pattern common for genre films without heavy event releases. The first Sunday numbers had set a promising tone, but Monday and Tuesday saw a thinning of audiences, keeping the film in a tighter box office bracket.
The weekend numbers looked solid: Day 1 (Friday) Rs 4 crore, Day 2 Rs 6.25 crore, Day 3 Rs 7.25 crore, before dipping to Rs 2.25 crore on Monday and Rs 2.50 crore on Tuesday. The five-day total now sits at Rs 22.25 crore, reflecting a typical mid-week slip for a thriller-led title without a dueling blockbuster to boost footfalls.
Despite the dip, the franchise has delivered consistent returns, with Rani Mukerji reprising Shivani Roy, a role that has become synonymous with the series. Trade analysts note that weekday declines are common when larger releases crowd the calendar, and Mardaani 3's performance may cap its short-term footprint unless new word-of-mouth sustains momentum.
With Border 2 still in theatres, the competition remains stiff. Four-day totals hovered around 19.75 crore, while the five-day tally reached 22.25 crore, according to early estimates. The coming weeks will determine whether Mardaani 3 can hold its ground against fresh offerings or fade as new releases arrive on the scene.
