Following the success of Mardaani 3, Rani Mukerji has spoken about the deeper purpose behind the Mardaani franchise and the social conversations it continues to spark.
According to the actress, the franchise has always aimed to be more than just entertainment. She believes Mardaani represents a voice for women who refuse to remain silent in the face of injustice.
Reflecting on the response to the latest installment, Rani shared that the success of Mardaani 3 feels particularly meaningful because audiences are not only watching the journey of her character, Shivani Shivaji Roy, but are also standing with her in the fight for justice.
She emphasised that while achieving a hat-trick of successful films is significant, the true value of the franchise lies in addressing serious social issues. Through its storytelling, Mardaani attempts to highlight crimes that often remain ignored or uncomfortable to discuss.
Rani stated that even a single act of violence against a woman reflects a larger societal failure to ensure safety and protection. She hopes that the conversations initiated by the franchise over the years have contributed to greater awareness and responsibility within society.
The actress also explained why the series continues to resonate strongly with viewers. She noted that the narratives explore realities that are both urgent and deeply relevant.
Rather than functioning solely as a conventional police drama, Mardaani examines crimes that are often difficult to confront. Rani pointed out that cinema has the power to act as a mirror, forcing audiences to acknowledge truths that may otherwise be overlooked.
She added that the franchise stands for courage and resilience — qualities that women demonstrate every day in their lives.
By consistently addressing challenging themes, Mardaani has managed to create an emotional connection with audiences while encouraging meaningful dialogue.
Rani concluded by saying that the core message of the franchise is rooted in the belief that fear should never prevail. As long as that message continues to remain relevant, she feels the Mardaani films will hold a lasting place in people’s hearts.
Through its blend of storytelling and social commentary, the franchise continues to aim for impact beyond the screen.
