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. This is a huge achievement for a franchise that has, over the years, built a powerful emotional and commercial connection with audiences. In an industry where franchises are often male-driven and star-led in a conventional sense, the Mardaani series has carved its own unique and formidable identity. It is now firmly established as India’s only successful female-led blockbuster franchise, and also the country’s only hit female-cop film franchise. The OTT triumph of Mardaani 3 comes on the back of an impressive theatrical performance. The film collected over Rs. 53 crore nett in India, making it the highest-grossing film of the Mardaani franchise. In an era when even major films struggle to sustain momentum beyond the initial weeks, Mardaani 3 also achieved the rare dist... #India #Netflix #Yash_Raj #Raj_Films #Rani_Mukerji #franchise #films #Netflix_India #Mardaani #list_Yash

Alia Bhatt, Sharvari starrer Alpha locks July 10, 2026 for its theatrical release The upcoming YRF Spy Universe film Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, has officially locked its theatrical release date. The much-anticipated spy thriller is scheduled to hit cinemas on July 10, 2026, marking a significant addition to the blockbuster franchise created by Yash Raj Films. Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha is expected to be the first female-led installment in the YRF Spy Universe, which previously delivered major box-office successes with films such as Pathaan and War 2. The film places two women at the centre of a high-octane espionage narrative, expanding the scope of the franchise that has so far largely revolved around male protagonists.
