Stree 2: A Phenomenal Success at the Box Office
The hard work is done quietly, and success shouts aloud. This adage fits perfectly with Shraddha Kapoor after witnessing the remarkable response to Stree 2. Without excessive promotion or fanfare, Shraddha brought the sequel to the big screen six years later, and now, it is making waves across the film industry. Following its massive earnings, Stree 2 is not just the biggest hit of 2024 but also the highest-grossing film of Shraddha’s career to date. The film continues to attract audiences to theaters even in its third week.
Box Office Performance
Starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, Stree 2 has outperformed several of Akshay Kumar‘s previous hits, including Khail Khail Mein and Veda, which are no longer capturing audience attention. The latest report from Sacnilk reveals that the film earned ₹7.75 crore on its 16th day, marking the lowest collection since its release. Despite this, the total earnings of Stree 2 in India have reached an impressive ₹440.80 crore in just 16 days, surpassing Akshay Kumar’s six hit and superhit films.
Akshay Kumar’s Recent Hits Underperformed
Over the past decade, Akshay Kumar has featured in around 32 films, but the number of flops has been alarmingly high. While there have been a few hits and superhits, when we compare the box office numbers of his last six superhit films, they all fall short against Stree 2. Not only do his flop films struggle, but his hits are also no match for the phenomenal performance of Shraddha’s movie.
