Bollywood’s recent comedy-horror sensation, Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has continued to make waves at the box office. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing the global box office earnings of Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal.
As of now, Stree 2 has amassed approximately ₹762.5 crores worldwide, cementing its position as the second-highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time, just behind Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan. This remarkable achievement is even more impressive considering that Stree 2 has surpassed the ₹640 crore mark set by Jawan.
The success of Stree 2 is a testament to its popularity and the strong chemistry between Kapoor and Rao. The film has not only outperformed Animal, which collected ₹553 crores, but has also set new records in its third week. Earning ₹70.2 crores in its third week, Stree 2 has broken the previous record for the highest collection in that timeframe, previously held by Baahubali 2. This accomplishment demonstrates the film’s sustained audience interest and strong reception.
The film’s success is further highlighted by its ability to outshine competing releases such as Khel Khel Mein and Veda, which have struggled to maintain traction at the box office. With no major Hindi releases expected soon, Stree 2 is poised to continue its successful run and potentially aim for even higher earnings in the coming weeks.
Overall, Stree 2 stands as a testament to the evolving landscape of Bollywood cinema. The film’s blend of humor and horror has resonated well with audiences, resulting in its commercial success. Its position as a major player in the box office charts underscores both its popularity and the effective marketing strategies employed by its producers.
