Mumbai: The Bollywood film industry has always been a dynamic canvas of creativity and innovation. Recently, it witnessed a phenomenal achievement with the film “Stree 2,” starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao at the forefront. This blockbuster has not only managed to captivate audiences but has established itself as a colossal success story in the annals of Indian cinema.
As “Stree 2” completes its remarkable 50-day run in theatres, it continues to showcase its dominance at the box office with an awe-inspiring collection of Rs 619.66 crore. The film, in its continual ascent, pulled in Rs 2.10 crore on Wednesday alone, contributing to an almost unbelievable cumulative total that has nearly touched the Rs 620 crore mark. This monumental figure positions “Stree 2” as the first domestic Hindi film to achieve such an impressive collection, surpassing anticipated mega-releases like “Pathaan,” “Jawan,” and “Gadar 2.”
The achievements of “Stree 2” are not only evinced by its monetary success but also in its wide-ranging appeal across India. Its ability to draw audiences goes beyond the major urban centers as it successfully penetrates Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities — a feat rarely observed in the contemporary cinematic landscape. The film’s plot, performances, and pertinent social themes have resonated with a diverse audience demographic, making it a topic of conversation across various social strata.
Renowned trade analyst Taran Adarsh, who has been tracking the movie’s progression, voiced his insights on social media. Posting on his X account, Adarsh shared, “#Stree2 celebrates a glorious 50-day run TODAY [Thursday]… Its ability to draw audiences not only at major centers but also in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities is a rarity in today’s cinema landscape.” This impressive trajectory was further boosted mid-week on a national holiday — Gandhi Jayanti — which provided “Stree 2” with an additional thrust in box office sales.
