Actress Rani Mukerji returned to the big screen with the third installment of her popular Mardaani franchise. The cop drama was released in theatres on January 30. Despite strong competition from Sunny Deol’s Border 2, which has been enjoying a successful run at the box office, Mardaani 3 managed to make a solid impact on its opening day.
