What's the plot of Mardaani 3?
Mardaani 3 stars Rani Mukerji as the fearless DCP Shivani Shivaji Roy, who races against time to rescue 93 missing girls. Directed by Abhiraj Minawala, the intense, harrowing thriller revolves around the uncovering of a child trafficking syndicate run by a ruthless beggar-turned-mafia queen.
Digging more into the plot, the narrative follows ACP Shivani Shivaji Roy shifts from investigating drug trafficking in the Sundarbans to tackling a high-profile case in Delhi involving the kidnapping of a diplomat's daughter. She uncovers a larger, brutal child trafficking ring. She takes on a brutal female villain, "Amma," a ruthless beggar-mafia queen behind the disappearance of 93 children.
This film sheds light on women's safety, the dark reality of beggar mafias and child trafficking. It is a tough, action-packed social drama.
Meanwhile, the OTTplay review for Mardaani 3 stated that the film succeeds as a stark reminder of the systemic failures surrounding women's safety, with Rani Mukerji's powerful performance. "While the script tackles chilling new territory, the 'beggar mafia' and human experimentation, it loses some of the franchise's sharp edge to predictable plot beats," it further read.
Who are the cast of Mardaani 3?
Mardaani 3 stars Rani Mukerji as Inspector Shivani Shivaji Roy, Mallika Prasad as "Amma" (The Antagonist), Janki Bodiwala (noted for Shaitaan) in a pivotal role, reportedly as a cop, Mikhail Yawalkar as Inspector Balwinder Singh Sodhi, and others.
