Another viewer shared a detailed review, stating that ‘Mardaani 3’ stayed true to the soul of the franchise. The tweet read, “Mardaani 3 stays fiercely loyal to what the franchise stands for — gritty realism, moral urgency, and an unflinching look at crime and justice.

The same user went on to praise the director for tackling a socially relevant issue without diluting its impact and described the second half as gripping and engaging. The review added, “#RaniMukerji once again proves why Shivani Shivaji Roy is one of Hindi cinema’s most iconic cop characters. She delivers a commanding, fearless performance, blending steely resolve with emotional depth. Her screen presence alone carries the film, and this easily ranks among her strongest performances in the franchise. The antagonists are another highlight. #MallikaPrasad is genuinely terrifying, continuing the #Mardaani tradition of memorable villains. The supporting cast, including #JankiBodiwala, holds its own and adds emotional texture to the story.”
Another tweet praised the overall execution, stating, “Strong characters, sharp direction, and a gripping plot make Mardaani 3 an unmissable cinematic experience.” Lauding the antagonist, one fan wrote, “Mallika Prasad’s Amma is terrifyingly real — one of the most disturbing villains in recent films.”

Commending the film’s theme and purpose, another user noted, “Some films entertain, some awaken. Mardaani 3 belongs to the second category — bold, necessary and deeply impactful. This is storytelling with purpose.”
However, not all reactions were unanimously positive. An X user who watched the film in Australia offered a mixed review, writing, “The film starts well and remains very engaging for the first 30 minutes. However, from then until the interval, there are several illogical scenes which could have been handled more maturely. The pre-interval twist, however, is great. The interval warning scene is fine but again lacks logic. #RaniMukerji is good and #MallikaPrasad is brilliant as ‘Amma’. The background score and dialogues are okay, though the dialogues feel cheesy at times. Overall, a decent first half.”

The first starts well, and remains very engaging for 30 minutes.
However, from then on till the interval, there are many illogical scenes which could have been handled more maturely.
The pre-interval twist however, is great! The interval warning…
Another cinemagoer shared a more critical take at the interval point, writing, “#Mardaani3 Interval: The tension, fear created by the villains, crisp editing and #RaniMukerji’s swag from the first two parts are largely missing. It is fast-paced but lacks excitement and freshness so far.”
#Mardaani3 Interval: First 2 parts ka wo tension wo villains ka darr wo crisp editing aur #RaniMukerji ka swag bahut zyada hi missing hai. As kuch exciting aur newness nahi hai abhi tak as fast paced zaroor hai lekin nothing new till now. pic.twitter.com/CTnIotEANB
