Mardaani 3 Becomes Highest-Grossing Film in Franchise, Highlights Female-Led Success

Mardaani 3, starring Rani Mukerji, has become the highest-grossing film in its franchise, earning over Rs 50 crore in India and Rs 75 crore worldwide. Mukerji highlights the film's success as evidence that female-led movies can compete commercially alongside male-centric films. She emphasizes that the protagonist, Shivani Shivaji Roy, is portrayed as a hero defined by integrity and courage, not as a 'female version' of male characters, signaling audience readiness for strong female narratives in Indian cinema.
