Mardaani 2 box office collection day 1: Rani Mukerji film opens with low numbers; audience choose Jumanji-The Next Level

Mardaani 2 has opened to low numbers at the box office. The Rani Mukerji starrer had an opening day collection of Rs 3.25 crore. On the other hand, Dwayne Johnson's Jumanji - The Next Level fared better and made Rs. 5 crore. After the first part, where Police officer Shivani Shivaji Roy fought against human trafficking, this time, she will go against a young serial rapist and murderer, who strikes terror throughout the city he prowls. The mystery of who the guy is and how she nabs him, forms the crux of the story.

Mardaani 2 has film has opened to similar numbers as its first part, Mardaani. This is somewhat disappointing as we were expecting it to do better. The first part, which was released in 2014, was a hit and had excellent recall value and goodwill.

There is a high chance that, just like the first part, the numbers will jump. The footfalls increased in the second half of Day 1, which probably means that the word of mouth is good. The film has garnered mostly positive reviews. Our film critic, Urmimala Banerjee gave the film 3 stars and wrote, "Mardaani 2 is a well-made crime thriller with a good topic of the growing number of criminals in the adolescent population. Rani Mukerji again reminds us of what a fine performer she is. The film hits home the reality that we aren't safe and need to be alert 24 x7."

Meanwhile, Kevin Hart, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson starrer Jumanji - The Next Level made Rs 5 crore but the numbers aren't much higher than the last film of the Jumanji franchise, which released 2 years ago. Nevertheless, the film will give tough competition to Mardaani 2.

The other releases of the week, The Body and Mudda 370 picked up an estimated Rs 50 lakhs and Rs 10 lakhs respectively.
