September 25,2024

Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2 has etched its name in Bollywood history by surpassing the Rs 600 crore milestone in just 39 days. Directed by Amar Kaushik, this horror-comedy has exceeded all predictions, setting a new standard in the industry. With this feat, Stree 2 becomes the first Hindi film to hit this impressive figure, solidifying its status as an all-time blockbuster.

The film surpassed the Rs 600 crore figure in its sixth week, overtaking Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan and securing the title of highest-grossing Bollywood film at the Hindi box office.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the update on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “IT’S 600 PAAR… #Stree2 creates HISTORY as the *first #Hindi film* to achieve this milestone… From metros to non-metros, multiplexes to single screens and urban centres to mass markets, #Stree2 is an OUTRIGHT WINNER across the board. [Week 6] Fri 5.20 cr, Sat 3.80 cr, Sun 5.32 cr. Total: ₹ 604.22 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice.”

He also noted, “It would be premature to predict the *lifetime biz*, as #Stree2 has consistently surprised with phenomenal numbers day after day, week after week.”

As of day 39, the film’s total net collection in India stands at Rs 604.22 crore, with a gross collection of Rs Rs 713 crore.

Amid Stree 2’s remarkable success, Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan took to social media to commend the film’s team. On X, Hrithik Roshan wrote, “It is such a happy time for our Cinema with Stree 2 setting new benchmarks for all of us to look up to. Stree part 1 was brilliant and the idea of taking that seed and building a universe and watching it all come together in Stree 2 is applause-worthy!”

He further expressed his admiration for the franchise, sharing, “Bravo to the teams that brought this to celluloid. You guys are true stars. Congratulations Dinesh Vijan, Maddock Films, Jio Studios, Amar Kaushik, Niren Bhatt and the entire cast & crew!”

In closing, he wrote, “May we continue to have many more such happy times at the movies.”

Released on August 15, Stree 2 serves as the follow-up to the 2018 hit of the same name. In addition to Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, the film features notable performances from Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee and Aparshakti Khurana in key roles. This sequel is part of Maddock Films’ expanding supernatural universe, which comprises films like Bhediya and Munjya.
