Mardaani 2 had a low start of around 8-10% which is expected as the film has nothing for morning youth audience be it mass or urban. The first Mardaani was a decent success but it was not a liked film among the wider audience where it becomes a brand so the first film is not really helping Mardaani 2.

The film is basically just depending on its content as it does not really get a push from the previous film so could have been given another name also. Mardaani picked up close to 3.50 crore nett in 2014 and it remains to be seen if this one can better that. The opening is not much better but it is a wider release. The film may do a little better in West Bengal which has been the trend with Rani Mukerjee films which out perform in this circuit be it Hichki or Mardaani. The opening day collections of the last two Rani Mukherjee films are as follows.

Hichki (2018) - 3,31,00,000 (975 screens)

Mardaani (2014) - 3,44,00,000 (1250 screens)

Jumanji - The Next Level had a decent start of around 20% and is better than Mardaani 2 across the board though by the end of the day West Bengal may be lower as that circuit improves fast in the evening and Mardaani 2 could really push in the evening. Jumanji - Welcome To The Junge did well at the box office in 2017 and this film may open better but will find it tough to beat the lifetime collections of that film due to Dabangg 3. Jumanji - The Next Level collected around 1.25 crore nett in paid previews on Thursday which is a fair number.
