Sharing the numbers, Trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote, ''#Mardaani2 is unstoppable on Day 2...

Fri 3.80 cr, Sat 6.55 cr. Total: ₹ 10.35 cr. #India biz.''
Mardaani 2 has performed better than Rani's last two films as far as the first day collections are concerned. The film earned Rs 3.8 crore on first day of its release.
In the film, Rani plays the role of fearless and committed Superintendent of Police, Shivani Shivaji Roy. Rani recently revealed that the makers of the film have decided to scrap a promotional song for the film so as to protect the "sanctity" of the story that they are trying to present to the audiences.
"We wanted to protect the sanctity of our message and not do any marketing gimmicks like shoot a promotional song just to get more conversation and more eyeballs. We felt this would be counterproductive to what we wanted to achieve," Rani said in a statement.
The sequel shows Shivani, now Superintendent of Police, face a cold, merciless villain who has no empathy and "is pure evil". The movie aims to draw attention towards rape crimes committed by juveniles. The film is a sequel to 2014 critically-acclaimed hit Mardaani, which was directed by Pradeep Sarkar. Mardaani 2 hit the screens on December 13.
