How did Stree 2 become a record-breaking sensation?
The first half of 2024 saw Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898AD dominate the box office, but the second half undoubtedly belongs to Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2. Directed by Amar Kaushik, this sequel to the 2018 hit Stree has captured audiences’ attention and refuses to slow down. After an extended first week boosted by Independence Day and Raksha Bandhan, Stree 2 amassed Rs 291.65 crore, securing its place among the Top 20 Hindi films of all time. But the real surprise came in its second week when the film catapulted into the Top 10 by clinching the 9th spot, surpassing the lifetime earnings of Tiger Zinda Hai (Rs 339.16 crore) and PK (Rs 340.8 crore).
The momentum only grew stronger as the film collected Rs 17.5 crore on its second Friday and saw an astounding 90% increase on Saturday, adding another Rs 32.5 crore. This brought the total to Rs 341.65 crore, setting a new record for the highest second Saturday collection, previously held by Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan. With Sunday and the Janmashtami holiday still to come, industry experts predict that Stree 2 will comfortably cross the Rs 400 crore mark, potentially breaking into the Top 7 highest-grossing Hindi films ever, joining the ranks of Dangal, KGF 2, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, Pathaan, Gadar 2, and Jawan.
What’s next for Stree 2?
With its massive success and potential to rise even higher, Stree 2 has cemented its place in Bollywood history. Fans and industry insiders alike are eagerly watching to see if it can outpace the current Top 7 and what this means for future sequels and similar genre films. Shraddha Kapoor and the entire Stree 2 team have set a new benchmark in Hindi cinema, proving that a well-made horror-comedy can not only entertain but also dominate the box office.
