Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has become a juggernaut at the box office. On its ninth day, the Amar Kaushik-directed film continues to captivate audiences, earning an impressive ₹16.5 crore nett, according to early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk. With this, Stree 2 has crossed the ₹300 crore mark in India, solidifying its status as the biggest Hindi hit of the year and the most successful film in the careers of both Kapoor and Rao.
The film’s total domestic nett now stands at ₹308.15 crore, showcasing its widespread appeal. The movie’s success is not just limited to its star power but also reflects the effective storytelling and engaging horror-comedy genre that resonates with a broad audience. On its ninth day, Stree 2 enjoyed an overall occupancy of 26.73%, with significant showings in key metropolitan areas like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Ahmedabad, and Pune.
For Shraddha Kapoor, Stree 2 marks her most significant box office success, surpassing her previous hits like Chhichhore (₹153.16 crore) and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar (₹147.28 crore). Rajkummar Rao, too, has achieved a career milestone with Stree 2, eclipsing his previous record set by the original Stree (₹129.83 crore).
According to Maddock Films, the producers of Stree 2, the movie has grossed ₹428 crore worldwide in just eight days. This includes ₹363 crore from India and ₹64.5 crore from overseas markets. The film is now on the brink of surpassing the global earnings of Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki, which amassed ₹454 crore worldwide. This potential feat underscores Stree 2‘s extraordinary performance and sets it apart in the highly competitive landscape of Hindi cinema.
Stree 2 was released alongside Vedaa and Khel Khel Mein on Independence Day. However, both competitors have significantly underperformed at the box office, with Vedaa collecting a mere ₹22 lakh and Khel Khel Mein ₹62 lakh on their ninth day. The relatively weak performance of these films has paved the way for Stree 2 to dominate theaters unchallenged in its second weekend.
With no major releases on the horizon, Stree 2 is expected to continue its successful run, attracting audiences with its unique blend of horror and comedy. This film not only reinforces the box office draw of Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao but also highlights the power of innovative storytelling in Indian cinema. As Stree 2 edges closer to surpassing Dunki‘s global earnings, it is clear that the film’s success is a testament to the evolving tastes of moviegoers and the growing appeal of genre-defying narratives in Bollywood.
