By the end of its first week, ‘Stree 2’ had already crossed the Rs 250 crore mark, a feat achieved by only a handful of films in Bollywood. As the film entered its second weekend, it continued to draw large crowds, thanks to strong word-of-mouth and positive reviews. On day 8, the film added another Rs 30 crore to its total, bringing its overall collection in India to approximately Rs 280 crore.
This remarkable performance is a testament to the film’s widespread appeal. Whether it’s the loyal fanbase of the original ‘Stree’ or new audiences attracted by the film’s intriguing premise and star-studded cast, ‘Stree 2’ has managed to keep the box office registers ringing.
The Cast and Crew: A Winning Combination
A significant part of ‘Stree 2’s success can be attributed to its talented cast and crew. Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao reprise their roles as the film’s leads, and their chemistry is as compelling as ever. Both actors bring a blend of charm and intensity to their performances, making their characters relatable and engaging.
Shraddha Kapoor, who has previously impressed with her performances in films like ‘Chhichhore’ and ‘Baaghi,’ once again proves her versatility as an actress. Rajkummar Rao, known for his ability to seamlessly slip into a wide range of characters, delivers a performance that is both humorous and heartfelt.
The film’s director, Amar Kaushik, deserves special mention for crafting a sequel that lives up to, and in many ways surpasses, the original. His direction ensures that ‘Stree 2’ retains the essence of the first film while introducing new elements that keep the story fresh and exciting.

Critics have lauded the film for its tight screenplay, direction, and the performances of its lead actors.
The film’s ability to balance comedy and horror without veering into cliché territory has been particularly appreciated. The clever use of folklore and social commentary, much like in the first film, adds depth to the narrative, making ‘Stree 2’ more than just a typical Bollywood horror-comedy.
The Road to Rs 300 Crore
With ‘Stree 2’ now inching closer to the Rs 300 crore milestone, all eyes are on its second weekend performance. If the film continues to draw crowds at its current pace, it is likely to cross the Rs 300 crore mark within the next few days. This would not only make ‘Stree 2’ one of the highest-grossing films of the year but also cement its place as a successful franchise in Bollywood.
As ‘Stree 2’ continues its impressive run, the film is set to leave a lasting impact on the box office and further elevate the careers of its talented cast and crew. For now, fans can celebrate the film’s success as it inches closer to becoming a box office juggernaut.
