[Rani Mukerji](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rani_Mukerji)‘s power-packed cop thriller **Mardaani 3** is showing remarkable resilience at the box office. On its second Tuesday, the film recorded an impressive 15% jump, collecting ₹1.50 crore and inching closer to the coveted ₹40 crore mark. This Tuesday surge, fueled by discounted ticket prices, proves audiences are still hungry for strong female-led action dramas.

## Smart Budget, Strong Returns

What’s particularly impressive about Mardaani 3’s performance is its controlled budget approach. Director Abhiraj Minawala has delivered a commercially viable product that balances production costs with revenue potential. While the film costs twice as much as Mardaani 2, it remains financially prudent with strong non-theatrical recoveries.

The film is projected to close its second week around ₹14-15 crore, setting up a potential lifetime collection of **₹50 crore in India**. Worldwide, industry analysts predict the cop drama will finish its theatrical run at approximately ₹65 crore gross.

Mardaani 3 faces a crucial test this weekend with Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj’s O’ Romeo entering theaters. How well Rani’s cop saga sustains against this new competition will determine whether it achieves that magic ₹50 crore milestone.
