On the auspicious first day of Navratri, Yash Raj Films unveiled the powerful new poster of Mardaani 3, reigniting excitement for India’s only successful female-led film franchise. The poster features Rani Mukerji as Shivani Shivaji Roy, the fearless cop who has become a household name for her grit and determination. Accompanied by the devotional chant of Aigiri Nandini, which honors Goddess Durga’s triumph over Mahisasura, the poster symbolizes Shivani’s upcoming face-off against evil forces that will test her strength like never before.

The Mardaani franchise has always been celebrated for its raw portrayal of crime and its fearless depiction of women taking charge in a male-dominated system. With the first two films receiving both commercial and critical success, expectations are sky-high for the third installment.

Rani Mukerji reprises her most acclaimed role, once again embodying the courage and resilience of Shivani Shivaji Roy. After the success of Mardaani (2014) and Mardaani 2 (2019), which shed light on child trafficking and crimes against women, Mardaani 3 promises to take audiences deeper into a darker, more intense world.

Directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films, Mardaani 3 is shaping up to be a gripping crime thriller that combines social relevance with edge-of-the-seat entertainment. The film will hit theaters worldwide on February 27, 2026, making it one of the most anticipated Bollywood releases of the year.
