Mardaani 2 box office: The crime thriller starring Rani Mukerji has collected around ₹18 crore but was trumped by Dwayne Johnson’s Jumanji The Next Level.
Mardaani 2, starring Rani Mukerji in the central role, witnessed a good run at the box office in its opening weekend. It had clashed with Dwayne Johnson, Kaevin Hart and Nick Jonas’ Jumanji: The Next Level, which managed to trump it at the ticket windows.
According to a report on Box Office India, Mardaani collected ₹7.75 crore on Sunday. It had opened at ₹3.80 crore on Friday and now stands at a total collection of around ₹18 crore.

Mardaani 2 is Rani’s latest release after her 2018 film Hichki. The film is a crime thriller that sees her reprising the role of SP Shivani Shivaji Roy. Directed by Gopi Puthran, it revolves around Rani’s character who goes all out to track down a rapist-murderer.
