Mardaani 2 box office: The crime thriller starring Rani Mukerji has collected around ₹18 crore but was trumped by Dwayne Johnson’s Jumanji The Next Level.

Mardaani 2 is Rani’s latest release after her 2018 film Hichki. The film is a crime thriller that sees her reprising the role of SP Shivani Shivaji Roy. Directed by Gopi Puthran, it revolves around Rani’s character who goes all out to track down a rapist-murderer.
