This Bollywood criminal thriller should be on your watchlist if you like suspenseful dramas with compelling narratives. This movie has a gripping plot and an astute police investigation that will keep you guessing until the very end. In this crime thriller, Rani Mukerji plays ACP Shivani Shivaji Roy, a courageous police officer dealing with a risky human trafficking case. The sequel centres on her quest to find the violent serial rapist. Can you guess the film we're referring to?
Mardaani 2 is unsettling, heartbreaking, and uncomfortable, possibly what the filmmakers wanted to accomplish with this suspenseful murder thriller. Mardaani 2, written and directed by Gopi Puthran and starring Rani Mukerji, explores topics such as women's safety, gender inequity, misogyny, and toxic masculinity in addition to highlighting the horrific atrocities against women.
Mardaani 2 starred Rani Mukerji as IPS officer Shivani Shivaji Roy, while Vishal Jethwa played the role of the egoistic antagonist.
Mardaani 2 Hit Or Flop?
Mardaani (2014) made about Rs 59 crore when it was released, compared to a budget of Rs 21 crore. Mardaani 2 (2019), on the other hand, made Rs 47–48 crore net in India compared to its Rs 27 crore budget, making it another profitable project for the Mardaani franchise.
Rani Mukerji fans are now excitedly awaiting the third part's box office performance, particularly since Sunny Deol's Border 2, which is currently breaking records, will be a formidable rival to the Aditya Chopra-backedmovie. Shivani is put in the centre of a terrifying case in Mardaani 3, which promises yet another socially conscious story. In the trailer, she joined the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and worked on a case with a far more enigmatic subject.
Mardaani 3 is releasing on the big screens on January 30, 2026.
