Stree 2,” featuring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has solidified its place in Bollywood history with an impressive box office run. The film has continued to attract audiences well into its fifth week, benefiting from a period with no major Bollywood releases. This advantageous gap allowed “Stree 2” to achieve a significant milestone by surpassing the domestic lifetime collection of Ranbir Kapoor’s “Animal,” marking a historic achievement for the horror-comedy genre.
Stree 2 Box Office: Strong Regional Performance
Directed by Amar Kaushik, “Stree 2” has demonstrated remarkable performance across various regions, including both urban centers and rural areas. The film has successfully resonated with audiences in locations that previously struggled to attract viewers in the post-pandemic era. However, unlike some recent blockbusters such as “Pathaan,” “Jawan,” and “Animal,” “Stree 2” did not achieve the same level of success in southern India, highlighting regional variations in audience preferences.
Day 26 Box Office Report
On its 26th day, “Stree 2” maintained a robust box office presence, even on the fourth Monday of its release. The film showed only a slight decline in earnings compared to the fourth Friday, with collections ranging between ₹3.50 to ₹4.20 crores. This performance has pushed the film’s total domestic earnings to an impressive ₹554.94 to ₹555.64 crores, further cementing its status as one of Bollywood’s top earners.
Historic Achievement and Future Prospects
Having surpassed the lifetime earnings of “Animal,” “Stree 2” now stands as the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time, with Shah Rukh Khan’s “Jawan” holding the top spot at ₹640.42 crores. With its continued strong performance, “Stree 2” is well on track to potentially join the exclusive 600 crore club.
The film’s success is expected to continue until the release of Jr NTR’s “Devara” on September 27, which may shift audience focus. As “Stree 2” continues to captivate viewers with its engaging content and stellar performances, industry observers are keenly watching to see how much further it can climb in the box office rankings.
