The much-anticipated Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Stree 2 has been nothing short of a box office juggernaut since its release on August 15, 2024. With the advantage of the extended Independence Day holiday weekend, the film opened with a staggering Rs. 55.40 crore on its first day, setting the stage for a remarkable box office run. Building on its strong opening, Stree 2 saw its business steadily grow over the next few days. By the end of its second day, the film had already crossed the Rs. 100 crore mark, and by the fourth day, it had surged past the Rs. 200 crore mark. Now, just eight days into its release, Stree 2 has blown past the Rs. 300 crore milestone, with an impressive total collection of Rs. 307.80 crore.
This rapid accumulation has cemented Stree 2‘s place as the fifth fastest film in Bollywood history to achieve the Rs. 300 crore mark. It follows closely behind Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel’s Gadar 2, which crossed the Rs. 300 crore mark in just 8 days, as well as other box office behemoths like Jawan that took 5 days, Animal, and Pathaan, each of which took 6 days to reach this milestone.
The success of Stree 2 is a testament to the power of well-crafted horror-comedy in Bollywood, a genre that has found a significant audience in recent years. The film’s blend of humour, suspense, and horror, combined with strong performances from its lead cast, has resonated well with audiences across the country.
Moreover, the timing of its release on a national holiday weekend provided the perfect platform for Stree 2 to capitalize on high footfalls, translating into record-breaking collections. The film’s trajectory suggests that it could continue to dominate the box office in the coming weeks, potentially challenging the records set by the films that preceded it.
In conclusion, Stree 2 has not only met but exceeded expectations, quickly becoming one of the highest-grossing films of 2024. Its rapid ascent to the Rs. 300 crore club places it among the elite in Bollywood, underscoring the franchise’s enduring appeal and the filmmakers’ ability to strike the right chord with the audience. With the momentum it has gained, Stree 2 is likely to set even more records as it continues its run.
