As it currently holds the top spot on the box office charts, Stree 2 is on an impressive upward trajectory. The film’s remarkable earning pace suggests that it is poised for a significant surge over the forthcoming weekend and into Monday, buoyed by the Raksha Bandhan holiday. Should this momentum persist, Stree 2 might very well ascend into the prestigious ₹500 crore club, marking a monumental achievement in Indian cinema.

Released on Independence Day, Stree 2 has not only revitalised the box office but has also eclipsed several recent releases that failed to capture audience interest. Films such as Akshay Kumar’s Sarphira and Ajay Devgn’s Auron Mein Kahaan Dum Tha have struggled to make a mark, allowing Stree 2 to stand out as a beacon of cinematic success.

The film’s initial success was nothing short of spectacular. On its first day, including paid previews, Stree 2 amassed a staggering ₹60.3 crores. Producer reports reveal that the film set a new benchmark by grossing ₹76.5 crores on its opening day, surpassing the first-day earnings of notable blockbusters like Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Jawan. Despite a slight dip in earnings on the second day, Stree 2 maintained a robust performance, especially considering it was a weekday.
