Mardaani 3 becomes the No. 1 movie on Netflix India; all 3 films of the blockbuster franchise trend in the Top 10 films list Yash Raj Films has yet another reason to celebrate. After a successful run in cinemas, Mardaani 3, starring Rani Mukerji, has now emerged as a massive winner on OTT as well, climbing to the No. 1 spot on Netflix India. What makes this feat even more remarkable is that the film’s streaming success has triggered a wider franchise resurgence, with all three Mardaani films now trending simultaneously in Netflix India’s Top 10 films list. As of this morning, Mardaani 3 (2026) is ranked No. 1, while Mardaani (2014) has claimed the No. 5 spot and Mardaani 2 (2019) is placed at No. 7.
