by

New Delhi: Rani Mukerji is back as the fierce cop Shivani Shivaji Roy in Mardaani 3, hitting screens today amid huge buzz. Early Twitter reactions are pouring in, calling it a mass entertainer with her powerhouse performance dominating every frame.

Fans rave about the raw action and serious take on child trafficking, but some say it misses the punch of earlier parts. Is the film worth watching? Check these must-read tweets before buying tickets.

 Twitter reactions

Netizens shared glowing first impressions right after early shows. One excited viewer tweeted: “Review #Mardaani3! Paisa Vasool Mass Thriller! Rani Mukerji Stole show all the way. She is the Real ‘Queen (Queen emoji)’ of Bollywood.

Another praised the interval block: “Interval. Rani Mukerji as Shivani Roy is a force. The controlled aggression against the criminals is so satisfying,” tweeted another user.

 Mixed but positive views

The same user added a balanced take: “However, the film lacks the raw punch of earlier Mardaani films. Suspense before the interval feels predictable. Villain by Mallika Prasad is decent but not chilling enough.”

A detailed fan noted the film’s strengths: “Mardaani 3 sticks to the crime-justice theme without distractions. Rani carries it on her shoulders—one of her strongest franchise performances. Action is raw, realistic.”

On pacing, viewers said: “First half takes time to build story and characters, feels slow but necessary. Second half grips more, tension rises to emotional climax.”

Taran Adarsh, who is a trade analyst and movie critic, also shared his review. He wrote,”

#OneWordReview… #Mardaani3: POWERFUL
Rating: ★★★½

Intense. Relevant. Captivating. #RaniMukerji returns in top form with a ferocious, no-holds-barred performance in a gripping battle of courage and justice. Director #AbhirajMinawala delivers a taut, hard-hitting thriller that stays true to the franchise’s soul. The narrative is razor-sharp for the most part, with relentless tension and impactful emotional beats. Shortcomings? The writing falters slightly post-interval, with the antagonists’ track needing simpler exposition. While the #Colombo track in the finale is interesting, the build-up could’ve been stronger.

#RaniMukerji is outstanding—commanding screen presence, steely resolve, and emotional depth—once again proving why #ShivaniShivajiRoy is among Hindi cinema’s most iconic cops. #MallikaPrasad (Amma) is terrifyingly effective, while #PrajeshKashyap (Ramanujan) impresses; the casting adds surprise value. #JankiBodiwala (Fatima) delivers a confident performance.

The background score by #JohnStewartEduri is top-notch, and the action choreography elevates the film.

Final word? #Mardaani3 is a worthy franchise addition and a must-watch for fans of gritty, content-driven cinema.

Ratings and verdict

One summed it up: “Hard-hitting crime drama. Rani’s fearless presence, grounded action, and emotional ending—paisa vasool. 3/5 stars.”

Another gave 3 stars: “Intense, very relevant, latter half gripping.”

India’s most adored women’s cricketer, Smriti Mandhana, also took to Instagram to express her view on the film’s trailer. She wrote, “A young girl’s life is priceless. Girls go through so much, see so much, we endure… often silently. Protecting every young girl should be a matter of national priority because when society is safe for girls, they thrive, they dream, they win for themselves, for their families and for their nation.”

Smriti added, “Blown away by the trailer of Mardaani 3, and I only pray that we all come together as a nation to protect every girl, every woman, because a society that doesn’t treat a girl well isn’t a society at all. Let’s build a safe nation.. together.”
