‘Look into the eyes of Stree with love; she is hungry for affection’…. This sentiment echoes as audiences have flocked to cinemas to witness ‘Stree 2’, a sequel that seems intent on breaking all box office records. Films featuring stars like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aamir Khan have been overshadowed by ‘Stree 2’. Achieving remarkable box office success not just in its second weekend but also sustaining that momentum into its third weekend is a rare feat, and ‘Stree 2’ has accomplished just that, leaving many top films in its wake.
When the trailer for ‘Stree 2’ was released, anticipation ran high among viewers. However, few could have predicted the astronomical success it would achieve at the box office. Reports suggest that the film was made on a budget of approximately ₹50-60 crore, and it surpassed that amount in its opening day earnings alone. From day one, the film’s box office collection has skyrocketed, showing no signs of slowing down. Even in its third weekend, ‘Stree 2’ has outperformed several blockbuster films including ‘Jawan’, ‘Kalki 2898 AD’, ‘Gadar 2’, ‘Baahubali 2’, ‘Pathaan’, and ‘Tiger 3’.
