The buzz surrounding “Stree 2” is undeniable, as it continues to perform exceedingly well at the box office. Starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, this film has become a massive success and is being celebrated widely. Produced with a budget of 60 crores, “Stree 2” has exceeded expectations, raking in substantial earnings. The filmmakers are thrilled with the positive response from audiences, leading to celebratory parties. However, the journey of success for “Stree 2” is far from over. Released on August 15, the film has outperformed other releases, graphically eclipsing Akshay Kumar’s and John Abraham’s films, “Khel Khel Main” and “Veda,” which have struggled to gain traction.
Low-budget films achieving box office success serve as important lessons for high-budget productions. This year alone, three horror-comedy films—Ajay Devgn’s “Shaitaan,” “Munja,” and now “Stree 2”—have made their debut. Among these, “Stree 2” has significantly outshined the others, establishing itself as the biggest hit of the year. Recent data on its tenth-day earnings have now emerged, further highlighting its dominance.
Remarkable Earnings on Day 10
Although there was a dip in earnings over the past two days, Saturday’s holiday provided a significant boost for the film. The film witnessed a remarkable surge in revenue, doubling its earnings over the prior two days. According to the latest reports from Sacnilk, “Stree 2” generated an impressive 32.5 crore on its tenth day, solidifying its position in the box office race.
