It received mixed reviews upon its release for not being as effective as the previous two films.
Critical Reception and Rani’s Performance
“Mardaani 3 may not reinvent the franchise, but it reinforces why it matters. Even when it treads familiar ground and doesn’t quite land all its twists, the film remains anchored by the sheer authority of Rani Mukerji’s Shivani, a screen presence that still cuts through noise,” reads Hindustan Times’ review of the film.
While opinions are divided, Rani Mukerji’s performance as Shivani continues to be a major draw. The film’s digital release offers another opportunity for audiences to judge for themselves if it lives up to the Mardaani legacy.
