Mardaani 3 OTT Release: Date, Box Office & Where to Watch

New Delhi, March 11, 2026: The wait for Rani Mukerji’s return as the indomitable Shivani Shivaji Roy is moving from the big screen to your living room. After a successful theatrical run that began in early 2026, Mardaani 3 is gearing up for its digital debut.

Here is everything you need to know about the Mardaani 3 OTT release date, box office performance, and plot details.

Mardaani 3 OTT Release Date and Platform

Following the industry standard of an eight-week theatrical window, Mardaani 3 is expected to arrive on digital platforms this month.

• Streaming Platform: Netflix (The global streaming giant holds the post-theatrical rights for Yash Raj Films’ recent slate).
• Expected Release Date: March 27, 2026.
• Streaming Time: Typically, new titles on Netflix premiere at 12:00 AM PT or 1:30 PM IST.

While an official announcement from Yash Raj Films (YRF) is awaited, multiple industry reports and the film’s January 30 theatrical release date point strongly toward a late-March digital premiere.

Box Office Collection: A Steady Success

Mardaani 3 faced stiff competition at the box office, particularly from the action-heavy Border 2, yet it managed to carve out a profitable niche. The film has been lauded for its “long-tail” performance, drawing audiences well into its sixth week.

Category	Estimated Collection (INR)
Opening Weekend (India)	₹17.50 Crore
India Net Collection (Total)	₹50.78 Crore
Worldwide Gross Collection	₹75.00 Crore
Budget	Approx. ₹60 Crore

The film has officially been declared a profitable venture, especially after factoring in the sale of non-theatrical rights (satellite and digital), which reportedly brought in an additional ₹37 crore for the producers.

Plot and Cast: What to Expect

In this third installment, directed by Abhiraj Minawala, Rani Mukerji reprises her role as Senior Superintendent of Police, Shivani Shivaji Roy. The film is being described as the “darkest chapter” of the franchise yet.

The Storyline

The plot revolves around the mysterious disappearance of 93 young girls over a span of three months. Shivani Shivaji Roy finds herself entangled in a high-stakes investigation involving a ruthless “beggar mafia” and human trafficking rings. The film introduces a formidable new antagonist known as “Amma” (played by Mallika Prasad), a criminal mastermind who tests Shivani’s resolve like never before.

Why You Should Watch It

Unlike many typical “cop-universe” films, the Mardaani series is known for its gritty realism and lack of over-the-top “masala” elements. Early reviews from its theatrical run praised Rani Mukerji’s intense performance and the film’s focus on relevant social issues. If you missed the chance to see Shivani Shivaji Roy take down criminals in the theater, the Netflix release on March 27 will be the perfect time to catch up.
