Bollywood powerhouse Rani Mukerji is ready to roar back onto the big screen as the fearless cop Shivani Shivaji Roy in the much-awaited Mardaani 3. Produced by Yash Raj Films, the third instalment of the blockbuster franchise is officially set to release in theatres worldwide on January 30, 2026. With anticipation running high, fans are eager to witness Rani reprise her iconic role in yet another high-stakes battle against crime.
In Mardaani 3, Shivani faces one of her toughest missions yet — a race against time to rescue 93 missing girls while confronting a brutal and deeply disturbing social crime. Staying true to the franchise’s core, the film continues its tradition of fearless storytelling that sheds light on urgent societal issues.
Adding to the excitement, Yash Raj Films has unveiled a brand-new track titled Babbar Sherni, a song that celebrates Shivani’s unbreakable spirit and salutes women as the fierce protectors of society. The powerful anthem highlights Rani’s commanding on-screen presence while reinforcing the film’s central theme of courage and justice.
Composed, produced, and arranged by Sarthak Kalyani, with lyrics by Shruti Shukla, the song also features a hard-hitting rap by Dee MC. Babbar Sherni is designed not just as a promotional track but as a statement — an embodiment of strength, resilience, and righteous fury.
Sharing her thoughts on the song, Rani Mukerji described Babbar Sherni as the sonic soul of Mardaani 3. She explained that the track captures the fearless essence of Shivani Shivaji Roy and pays tribute to women who refuse to bow down in the face of injustice. Raw, intense, and resolute, the song mirrors the character’s unwavering determination to fight for what is right.
Rani further added that the track goes beyond being just music — it serves as an emotional and ideological extension of Shivani’s personality. It channels courage, quiet rage, and unyielding justice into a rallying cry that defines the true meaning of being Mardaani.
Directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Aditya Chopra, Mardaani 3 continues the franchise’s legacy of socially relevant narratives. The first film tackled the horrors of human trafficking, while Mardaani 2 explored the dark psychology of a serial rapist. The third instalment promises another gripping and socially urgent storyline, reinforcing the franchise’s commitment to meaningful cinema.
Notably, Mardaani remains India’s only successful female-led action franchise — and the only one fronted by a female police officer. With Rani Mukerji back in uniform, Mardaani 3 is all set to deliver action, emotion, and a powerful message when it roars into cinemas on January 30, 2026.
