Stree 2 is taking the box office by storm, impressively holding its ground in theaters during its second week. The film, featuring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, began making waves on its release day, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Audiences have eagerly anticipated this sequel since the original Stree was released, and the film’s arrival has delivered an exhilarating mix of horror and humor, leaving viewers both scared and in fits of laughter.
While expectations for the film’s success were high, no one could have predicted just how big of a hit it would become. The first installment created numerous suspenseful moments surrounding Shraddha’s character, but much of the mystery has been revealed in this sequel. The filmmakers once again left audiences on the edge of their seats, sparking discussions and speculation for a possible upcoming installment. The entire cast is overjoyed with the film’s performance, often seen celebrating its success on social media.
Stree 2 Achieves Sixfold Earnings Over Budget
Stree 2 introduces the character of Sirkar, along with various captivating elements that audiences have thoroughly enjoyed. According to reports, the film’s production budget is estimated to be around ₹50-60 crores. When compared to its box office earnings, this means the film has grossed approximately six times its budget. Stree 2 has shattered several box office records, outperforming notable films like Baahubali 2, RRR, Pathaan, and Jawan on its 11th day of earnings.
Comparative Box Office Earnings on the 11th Day
| Film | 11th Day Earnings (in Crores) |
|---|---|
| Baahubali 2 | 30 |
| RRR | 4+ |
| Pathaan | 23 |
| Jawan | 36+ |
| Stree 2 | 44 |
The impressive earnings indicate that audiences are captivated by Shraddha Kapoor’s witchy persona, allowing the film to surpass the box office successes of Bollywood’s three Khans. Even some of the superhit films featuring Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan have failed to match the earnings of Stree 2 on its 11th day.
Competition and Comparison
Stree 2’s box office performance is remarkable, particularly when considering its competition. Released on August 15 alongside Akshay Kumar’s ‘Khel Khel Mein’ and John Abraham’s ‘Veda’, those two films did not perform as well, even when their earnings were combined, they couldn’t surpass Stree 2’s collections on the eleventh day.
Crossing ₹386 Crores in India
The film has garnered immense love for featuring Akshay Kumar and Tamannaah Bhatia in cameo roles. Stree 2’s phenomenal box office numbers have established it as one of the blockbuster hits of the year, with earnings in India surpassing ₹386 crores. Let’s take a look at how other films with over ₹300 crores in earnings fared on their 11th day:
