Rani Mukerji's Mardaani 3 started off at the box office on a decent note. However, collection tumbled in the first week. Now, the cop thriller has concluded its 2nd weekend, with some boost in biz offering respite. Mardaani 3 has received mixed reviews and expectations are that it will finish below the collection of the first two parts. However, the third Mardaani movie has minted well over ₹30 crore in India in 10 days and will now begin its journey towards the ₹50 crore mark.
