Mardaani is a 2014 Indian action thriller film directed by Pradeep Sarkar and produced by Yash Raj Films. The movie stars Rani Mukerji as Shivani Shivaji Roy, a tough and fearless cop, and Sharad Kelkar as a supporting character.
The film’s climax—where Shivani systematically dismantles Karan’s ego and empire—is considered one of the most satisfying "women-led revenge" sequences in Indian cinema. Rani Mukerji won the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress for this role. Mardaani is a 2014 Indian action thriller film
