Stree 2 is poised to set a new benchmark in Indian cinema as it inches closer to surpassing the records set by Shah Rukh Khan’s monumental hit, Jawan. The phenomenal success of Stree 2, starring the charismatic duo Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has already seen it eclipse Pathaan’s record and emerge as the second highest-grossing Hindi film at the box office. Currently, the only hurdle standing in its way to becoming the top-grossing film is Jawan, which boasts a staggering box office collection of ₹582 crore.
Industry pundit Taran Adarsh recently revealed that Stree 2 managed to collect ₹3.60 crore on its fourth Monday, bringing its total domestic collections to a formidable ₹555 crore. “Stree 2 continues to hold steady at Friday levels on the fourth Monday despite weekday ticket rates,” Adarsh noted. “With no significant releases on the horizon until Devara on September 27, the film has an open playing field. Additionally, National Cinema Day on September 20 is expected to further boost its business.”
Stree 2’s steady climb in the box office rankings has seen it break the records of major blockbusters like Pathaan and Gadar 2, both of which had previously capped their earnings at ₹525 crore. With just a few crores left to close the gap, it is highly likely that Stree 2 will surpass Jawan, becoming an unprecedented success story in Hindi cinema.
Globally, Stree 2 has amassed an impressive ₹750 crore, whereas Jawan’s overall collection in India, including contributions from southern regions, stands at ₹640 crore—a figure Stree 2 may find difficult to surpass. The global box office earnings of Jawan stand at a whopping ₹1100 crore, followed closely by Pathaan at ₹1050 crore. Despite the fierce competition, Shah Rukh Khan remains the unrivaled superstar in Indian cinema, holding onto records that few can dream of breaking.
Furthermore, the absence of a significant release until Devara places Stree 2 in a favorable position to continue its box office dominance. The film’s strong performance on National Cinema Day is expected to further boost its earnings, potentially breaking even more records and solidifying its place in history.
Noted film trade analyst Taran Adarsh reiterated the success of Stree 2, emphasizing its impressive fourth-week earnings. “Stree 2 continues to hold steady at Friday levels on the fourth Monday despite weekday ticket rates … With no major release until Devara on September 27, the film enjoys an open playing field.

The worldwide collections of Jawan amount to ₹1100 crore, while Pathaan’s global tally stands at ₹1050 crore. These figures underline the colossal international appeal Khan commands, a feat that few in the industry can emulate.

The film’s steady rise to the top not only showcases the tremendous potential of well-crafted storytelling but also highlights the emerging trend of genre-bending films gaining mainstream acceptance.
In conclusion, while the global dominance of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan and Pathaan remains unchallenged, Stree 2’s meteoric rise within the domestic market adds a new chapter to the annals of Bollywood blockbusters.
