Mardaani 3 Box Office Collection Day 10: Rani Mukerji Starrer Shows Massive 89% Jump on Second Saturday
Rani Mukerji's gritty crime thriller Mardaani 3 has shown remarkable resilience at the box office, witnessing a significant surge in collections during its second weekend. After a steady opening week, the film benefited from strong word-of-mouth and the established popularity of the franchise to post impressive numbers on its second Saturday and Sunday. The film concluded its first week with a collection of ₹26.3 Cr India net. Entering its second week, the film saw a typical Friday dip, earning ₹1.85 Cr on Day 8. However, the momentum shifted dramatically on Day 9 (second Saturday) as the film recorded a massive growth of 89.19%, bringing in ₹3.5 Cr. The upward trend continued into Day 10 (second Sunday), with the film collecting an estimated ₹4.25 Cr, a further jump of 21.43% from Saturday. This strong weekend performance indicates that the audience is embracing Rani Mukerji's return as the fierce Shivani Shivaji Roy, particularly in urban centers and multiplexes. As of the end of its second weekend, the 10-day India net total for Mardaani 3 stands at an estimated ₹35.9 Cr. With no major competition in its genre, the film is expected to maintain a steady hold over the coming weekdays, trending toward a successful lifetime run. This second weekend performance highlights a significant growth in the franchise's box office pull compared to its predecessor. While Mardaani 2 collected ₹1.15 Cr on its eighth day (second Friday) and ₹1.95 Cr on its ninth day (second Saturday), Mardaani 3 has operated at a much higher level. By earning ₹1.85 Cr and ₹3.5 Cr on the corresponding days, the third installment has not only outpaced the previous film's daily totals but also recorded a much larger jump, nearly doubling the second Saturday figures of the 2019 sequel. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) With its current trajectory, all eyes are now on whether Mardaani 3 can eventually overtake the lifetime benchmarks set by its predecessor. Mardaani 2 ended its theatrical run as a certified Hit, finishing with a lifetime India net of ₹47.35 Cr, a domestic gross of ₹57 Cr, and a global total of ₹67 Cr (including ₹10 Cr from overseas). Given that the third installment has already reached an estimated ₹35.9 Cr India net within just 10 days—and is showing superior weekend growth compared to the previous film—it is well-positioned to challenge, and potentially surpass, the lifetime collections of the 2019 sequel.
