Franchise Update
With over Rs 39 crore in India net collections — net refers to earnings after tax deductions — the film has crossed the lifetime India net of the first instalment, which earned Rs 36 crore. It ranks as the second-highest-grossing title in the franchise. Mardaani 2 holds the top spot with about Rs 47.5 crore in India.
Budget & Outlook
The film was made on an estimated budget of Rs 60 crore. It has recovered a large share of its cost through theatrical revenue. It has yet to reach the breakeven point — the stage at which total earnings match production cost. The weekday trend indicates that the Rs 50 crore mark is within reach if it sustains its run in the coming days.
