Rani Mukerji's latest offering Mardaani 3 has stayed stable at the Box Office over the first weekend. The movie saw over 50% jump on day 2, but only stayed stable on day 3. The total Box Office collection for the movie so far is under Rs. 20 crore at this point.

Mardaani 3 earned over Rs. 7.25 crore on day 3 i.e. its first Sunday, according to Sacnilk. This has taken the movie closer to Rs. 20 crore over its first weekend.
Mardaani 3 opened to Rs. 4 crore on day 1. This was followed by net collections of Rs. 6.25 crore on day 2. The total net collections for the movie so far, thus, are approximately Rs. 17.50 crore. The movie started slow in the morning but picked up pace by evening. The film, nonetheless, falls short of Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty’s Border 2, which had collected over Rs. 20 crore in the domestic market on first weekend itself.
