Mardaani 3 hits Netflix on March 27, bringing Rani Mukerji back as Shivani Shivaji Roy. Missed it in theaters? Now's your chance to catch up!
If you’re a fan of hard-hitting thrillers, I’ve got great news for you. The gripping action of Mardaani 3, is coming to your screens sooner than you think. Releasing to theaters on January 30, 2026, Rani Mukerji returns as the tough-as-nails IPS officer, Shivani Shivaji Roy. But here's the catch: it's all set to launch on Netflix on March 27, 2026. So, if you missed it in cinemas, now’s your chance to catch the action!
With a story that grips you from the first scene, Mardaani 3 takes you on a wild, emotional ride. This time, Shivani is tackling the disappearance of 93 young girls over three months. It’s intense—especially as she goes head-to-head with a new antagonist, Amma, brilliantly portrayed by Mallika Prasad. The film dares to shine a spotlight on the sinister beggar mafia and child trafficking, which isn't your everyday crime topic, but one that sparks real conversation. I love how the series continues to tackle these socially relevant issues, staying true to its roots.
Now, let's talk numbers! By March 11, 2026, Mardaani 3 made a whopping ₹50.78 crore in India and ₹75.10 crore worldwide. That’s no joke and just proves how fiercely loyal fans are to this franchise. Critics have mostly good things to say. Bollywood Hungama and NDTV both rated it 3.5 out of 5 stars, praising it for being "powerful" and for delivering an "unblemished" performance by Rani. But not everyone’s sold—the Hollywood Reporter India wasn’t as charmed, mentioning that some aspects felt predictable. Still, others loved it for its intense drama.
With Mardaani 3's upcoming Netflix debut, it’s exciting for all those who missed it in theaters. Thanks to Yash Raj Films’ partnership with Netflix, this move makes sure fans across the globe don’t miss out on catching up with Shivani's latest chase. Mark your calendars for March 27, because I promise this is one film you don’t want to miss.
So what do you think? Are you ready to watch Rani Mukerji serve justice yet again? The wait is almost over. Grab some popcorn, get comfy, and dive into Shivani's world this March!

Rahul grew up in Pune going to the cinema every Friday with his father. Not the multiplex. The old single-screen theatre near their house that smelled of popcorn and worn-out velvet seats. His father kept a small notebook where he wrote down the name of every film they watched and what he thought of it. Rahul started doing the same when he was eleven. He still does it now, except the notebook is a Google Sheet with about nine hundred entries.
