Rani Mukerji On Mardaani 3 Connecting With The Audience
Talking about the film’s success, Rani Mukerji says, “I’m deeply grateful that Mardaani 3 has connected with audiences in such a big way. At a time when the box office conversation is slightly centered around ‘alpha male’ characters, this success proves something very powerful – that female-led films also have an audience. I hope the industry has noticed this so that we have more such films made.”
The actress adds, “Shivani Shivaji Roy was not written as a ‘female version’ of anything. She is simply a hero – defined by integrity, courage, and empathy. She is equal to her male counterparts. The fact that audiences have embraced her story so strongly shows that people are ready for narratives where a woman leads not just emotionally, but commercially.”
Rani Mukerji further says, “This milestone is much bigger than numbers. It sends a message to the industry that content with purpose, anchored by a strong female protagonist, can stand shoulder to shoulder with hero-driven films, and it tells filmmakers that investing in female-led stories is not a risk – it’s an opportunity.”
Rani On Success Of Mardaani Franchise, Female-Led Films
Rani feels the success of female-led films is a necessity for Indian cinema. She says, “For me, Mardaani franchise’s success marks expanding what heroism looks like in Indian cinema. In terms of significance, such a success is a necessity for cinema because we have to make different films and definitely put a woman at the forefront of such cinema.”
With Mardaani 3, Rani has scored a hat-trick of hits with this franchise, with all the films delivering success stories at the box office.
Explaining why the Mardaani franchise has been receiving so much love for over 12 years now, Rani says, “I think audiences have connected with Shivani Shivani Roy for 12 years now is because she reflects an idea of strength and resilience that is empowering for women and for society at large. Where courage is not about how loudly you roar but how consistently you stand your ground. Perhaps that’s why she stands out. Perhaps that’s why Shivani has resonated so much with people.”
Rani Mukerji has again delivered a solo theatrical success in her 30th year as a leading lady. This rare milestone underscores her longevity and sustained box-office credibility in the Indian film industry.
The release of Mardaani 3 is also especially meaningful as it coincides with Rani Mukerji completing 30 years in cinema – a landmark moment that has prompted widespread appreciation and celebration across the film industry.
