In a remarkable achievement, Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2 has taken the Indian box office by storm. The horror-comedy film, directed by Amar Kaushik, has surpassed the lifetime collection of Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan to become the second-highest grossing Hindi film in India.
According to recent reports, Stree 2 added a whopping Rs 10 crore to its total on Sunday, bringing its domestic box office collection to approximately Rs 527 crore nett. This impressive feat has cemented the film’s position as the second highest-grossing Hindi film in the country, with only Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan standing in its way of claiming the top spot.
Stree 2, which was released on August 15, 2024, has been running successfully in theaters for weeks without any major competition. However, it will face new competition from Hansal Mehta’s thriller The Buckingham Murders, starring Kareena Kapoor, starting this Friday, September 13.
The film’s success is a testament to the enduring popularity of the Stree franchise, which was first introduced by Amar’s 2018 directorial debut. With its talented cast, including Pankaj Tripathi and Aparshakti Khurana, Stree 2 has managed to captivate audiences and leave a lasting impact on the box office.
While Stree 2 still has a long way to go to surpass Jawan’s record, it is clear that this film has made its mark in Bollywood history. As the industry continues to evolve, one thing is certain – Stree 2 will be remembered as a significant achievement in Indian cinema.
