Mardaani 3 Slows After Two Weeks As New Releases Crowd Theatres

Two weeks into its theatrical run, Mardaani 3 has settled into modest daily returns, a far quieter trajectory than the earlier films in the franchise. The police-drama, led by Rani Mukerji, added Rs 1.1 crore on its second Thursday, according to trade data compiled by Sacnilk.

The reception has been uneven from the start. While the earlier instalments drew both strong footfall and critical appreciation, this chapter has struggled to hold steady audiences beyond its opening stretch. Weekday occupancy has reflected that trend, with overall Hindi occupancy reported at 8.1 percent on Wednesday, February 12, 2026.

By the end of 14 days, the film’s domestic tally stands at Rs 40.9 crore. Overseas markets have pushed the worldwide figure to Rs 61.3 crore, a total that keeps it visible in theatres but not dominant. The first week contributed Rs 26.3 crore, after which the numbers dropped into single-digit daily earnings, fluctuating between Rs 1.1 crore and Rs 4.25 crore through the second weekend and following weekdays.

Competition has not eased the pressure. The holdover run of Border 2 had already divided screens, and Friday brings fresh attention toward O’Romeo, headlined by Shahid Kapoor. Exhibitors typically adjust show counts under such circumstances, and the lower occupancy suggests that shift is underway.

Day 15 earnings were reported at roughly Rs 1.1 crore as the third Friday began, a figure likely to evolve as evening shows conclude. The pace indicates the film is now relying on limited but steady attendance rather than weekend surges.

Inside theatres, the film remains present but subdued, playing to smaller crowds compared with the earlier weeks. The numbers neither collapse nor recover sharply, instead drifting along the lower end of the chart while newer titles compete for screens.
