Mardaani Franchise
The first instalment of Mardaani franchise was released in 2014. The film, which was directed by Pradeep Sarkar, received positive reviews and was a hit at the box office.
Mardaani 2 was released in 2019, and it was directed by Gopi Puthran. The movie received positive reviews, and it was a moderate hit at the box office.
Now, Mardaani 3 is directed by Abhiraj Minawala, who had earlier helmed LoveYatri and also worked as an assistant director in many films like Tiger 3, War 2, and others.
As parts 1 and 2 were amazing movies, the expectations from part 3 are also quite high. So, as the trailer has received mixed responses, let’s hope that the film impresses the critics and the audience.
Mardaani 3 Release Date
Mardaani 3 was earlier slated to release on February 27, 2026. But, it has been preponed, and it will now hit the big screens on January 30, 2026. The film will be clashing with movies like Gandhi Talks and Mayasabha.
So, let’s wait and watch which movie will win the box office race. For now, clearly Mardaani 3 is heading because of better pre-release buzz.
