Directed by Gopi Puthran, the film showcases cop Shivani Roy’s (played by Rani) hunt for a serial rapist in the small town of Kota. Other than Rani Mukerji, the film also features Vishal Jethwa, Vikram Singh Chauhan and Shruti Bapna in pivotal roles.

Mardaani 2 opened to decent reviews on Friday. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film three stars out of 5 and wrote: “Rani Mukherji, reprising the role that she played in Mardaani, is as good as ever. She channels the potent force of the author-backed character to come up with a power-packed performance that is impressive as much for its emotive range as for its restraint.”
