The horror-comedy, led by Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, is shattering records and rewriting box office history. To date, the film has grossed an astounding Rs 509 crore, placing it firmly at the top of the record charts. On the third Monday of its release, “Stree 2” raked in Rs 7.05 crore, surpassing the earnings of Ranbir Kapoor’s recent blockbuster “Animal,” which earned Rs 505 crore in its Hindi version alone. For the filmmakers, the success of “Stree 2” is exceeding even the most optimistic expectations.
Trade expert Taran Adarsh shared a detailed breakdown of the film’s box office collection, stating, “#Stree2 is rock-steady at the #BO, firmly holding its ground on a working day [third Mon]… Mass circuits – particularly non-national chains + single screens at Tier-2 and Tier-3 centres – are driving its biz… Expected to enjoy a smooth, uninterrupted run right till #Dussehra.” Adarsh further elaborated that the film has enjoyed a healthy box office haul over its third weekend, with collections amounting to Rs 9.25 crore on Friday, Rs 17.40 crore on Saturday, Rs 22.10 crore on Sunday, and Rs 7.05 crore on Monday, bringing the total to an impressive Rs 509.40 crore in India alone.
In an exclusive interview with Zee News, actor Abhishek Banerjee, who plays a pivotal role in the film, expressed his excitement over “Stree 2” being mentioned in the same league as mega-hits like “Jawan” and “Pathaan.” Banerjee admitted, “I never imagined that the film would compete with Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster films. But as they say, content is king, and Amar Kaushik has proven that with his directorial genius.”
The film’s remarkable performance is not only eclipsing current releases but also outshining some of the biggest blockbusters in recent history. “Stree 2” has already broken the records of films like “Sanju,” “Dangal,” and “KGF Chapter 2.” Industry experts are now keenly observing whether “Stree 2” will go on to surpass the collections of other monumental hits like “Gadar 2,” “Jawan,” and “Pathaan.
