YRF drops new Mardaani 3 track, reminding everyone why Rani Mukerji is a Babbar Sherni

Check out the song here.

Rani Mukerji’s highly anticipated Mardaani 3, produced by Yash Raj Films, is set to hit cinemas on January 30. Rani is back as the fierce, daredevil cop Shivani Shivaji Roy, taking on a brutal social crime in the third film of this blockbuster franchise.

As anticipation builds to see Rani reprise her role in a race against time to rescue 93 missing girls, Yash Raj Films has unveiled a new song that celebrates her power-packed presence. Titled ‘Babbar Sherni’, the track amplifies Shivani’s commanding aura and salutes women of the society as Babbar shernis. The song is composed, produced and arranged by Sarthak Kalyani, written by Shruti Shukla, and also features a hard-hitting rap segment by Dee MC.

Directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Aditya Chopra, Mardaani remains India’s only successful female-led franchise – and the only one led by a female cop. Mardaani 3 releases in theatres worldwide on January 30, 2026.

Yash Raj Films unveils the trailer of Rani Mukerji’s Mardaani 3, marking the start of the 30-year anniversary celebration of India’s cinematic icon!

Check out the trailer here.

Yash Raj Films’ Mardaani is the biggest solo female-led franchise in Hindi cinema that has garnered love and acclaim for over 10 years now. Yash Raj Films dropped a new poster announcing the new release date of the much-awaited third instalment of the franchise to be January 30th.

The blockbuster Mardaani franchise has received unanimous love from people and has attained a cult status amongst cine-lovers. Mardaani 3 will see Rani Mukerji reprise the role of a daredevil cop, Shivani Shivaji Roy, who selflessly fights for justice. This film will be a bloody, violent clash between Shivani’s goodness vs sinister evil forces as she begins an extraordinary race against time to rescue scores of missing girls of the country.

Mardaani 3 is directed by Abhiraj Minawala and has been produced by Aditya Chopra. While Mardaani (first film) tackled the grim realities of human trafficking, Mardaani 2 explored the chilling mind of a psychotic serial rapist who dared to challenge the system. Mardaani 3 is delving into a dark, brutal case, continuing the franchise’s legacy of gripping, issue-based storytelling.
