Mardaani 3 Box Office Collection Day 10: Rani Mukerji Starrer Shows Massive 89% Jump on Second Saturday

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.

Mardaani 3 Release Strategy: Producers Implement Scarcity Model with Capped Showings and Flat Pricing

Mardaani 3 Release Strategy: Producers Implement Scarcity Model with Capped Showings and Flat Pricing

In a significant departure from standard distribution practices, the release strategy for Rani Mukerji's Mardaani 3 has been finalized. According to reports from Bollywood Hungama, the makers are opting for a Curated Release aimed at maximizing occupancy percentages rather than sheer screen count. The strategy involves two major pillars: Controlled Supply and Affordable Pricing. Unlike typical blockbusters that aim for 15–20 shows in multiplexes, Mardaani 3 will have a strict cap of no more than 6 shows per day in any theater, regardless of the number of screens. Furthermore, in two-screen theaters, the film will only begin showcasing from 3:00 PM onwards, targeting the evening and night audience. The film will follow the ticket pricing structure of the 2026 film Saiyaara, which utilized a Flat Pricing model. By keeping ticket prices at par with mid-budget content-driven cinema, the producers are aiming to drive high footfalls in the initial weekend. This strategy is designed to create an In-Demand atmosphere where limited tickets and lower prices lead to rapid Sold Out status across centers. Mardaani Franchise: Release Strategy Evolution FILM DISTRIBUTION MODEL PRICING STRATEGY VERDICT Mardaani (2014) Standard (1200+ Screens) Standard Multiplex Rates Hit Mardaani 2 (2019) Wide (1600+ Screens) Premium Pricing Hit Mardaani 3 (2026) Limited (Capped at 6 Shows) Affordable (Saiyaara Model) TBA (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While this strategy might limit the Opening Day record potential, it is expected to stabilize the India Net collections over the first two weeks. By ensuring that every show is nearly full, the film benefits from positive word-of-mouth generated by a packed house. For a franchise like Mardaani, which relies on social messaging and intense drama, a sold-out theatre experience often leads to better audience reception than a half-empty premium screening. The Scarcity Effect: Box Office Math 1. High Occupancy %: By limiting shows to 6 per day, the film is more likely to report 80-90% occupancy, which triggers FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) among audiences. 2. Evening Prime Focus: Starting at 3:00 PM eliminates low-performing morning shows, saving on operational costs and concentrating revenue in high-value time slots. 3. Sustenance over Opening: This model prioritizes Long Legs (steady collections over weeks) rather than a massive Day 1 that crashes on Day 4.
