Rani Mukerji is back in flowing police uniforms, and early reactions indicate her latest offering in the ‘Mardaani’ franchise is taking viewers on an emotional rollercoaster. Released on Friday, the third installment features Mukerji reprising the role of Shivaani Shivaji Roy. As with the preceding films, challenging issues like crime are tackled head on, and disrupt a system and society in the process.
The franchise is also known for a healthy dose of social commentary in its packaging, and the early words of filmgoers suggest ‘Mardaani 3’ continues on this tack, eliciting responses of chilling, disturbing, powerful viewing.
Early reactions were swift among the Twitter communities and pointed to a story dealing with an issue that has hit close to home for many, and a shockingly mature selection of scenes that may cause anger and numbness to some.

Suraj, “Just Watched #Mardaani3 REVIEW /5 RATING blockbuster loading The story is intense and very relevant. It sticks to the core theme of crime and justice and keeps the narrative serious throughout. The plot is simple but emotionally strong and holds your attention till the end. #RaniMukerji delivers a powerful performance and completely carries the film on her shoulders. Her screen presence, dialogue delivery, and expressions make the character feel real and fearless. This is easily one of her strongest performances in the Mardaani franchise.”

@filmygautam, “#Mardaani3 Interval: It's a joy of different kind to see #RaniMukerji kicking the @$$ of criminals. The balance of restraint and yet hard hitting that she perfectly strikes is worth applauding like always.”

In her third film in the series, Rani Mukerji is back in the lead once again, with Mallika Prasad stepping into the villainous maternal role (Amma), supported by Janaki Bodiwala (Karuna) and numerous others.
Written by Aayush Gupta and directed by Abhiraj Minwala, the film is produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. As the third chapter in the ‘Mardaani’franchise that began in 2014, the film stays true to its core, hard-hitting storytelling powered by a fearless female protagonist.
