In an amazing turn of events, Stree 2 has set new records in the Indian box office, solidifying its position as the No. 1 Hindi film of all time. Released a little over a month ago, this horror-comedy directed by Amar Kaushik continues to perform exceptionally well in theaters, even in its fifth week.
Box Office Success
Since its release, Stree 2 has consistently dominated the box office, drawing large crowds to theaters. Despite being in theaters for over 30 days, the film is still going strong and attracting many moviegoers. This movie was made on a budget of ₹50 crores and has already surpassed its production costs by a large margin.
On its 34th day in theaters, Stree 2 collected Rs 2.5 crores, bringing its total box office earnings to a whopping Rs 585.85 crores. This success has made it one of the top-grossing Hindi films in history. The movie has become so popular that it even broke the lifetime box office collection record of Shah Rukh Khan's Jawaan which had earned Rs 584 crores in its Hindi version.
The Plot and Popularity
Stree 2 is the sequel to the 2018 hit Stree which was widely loved for its unique blend of horror and comedy. The sequel follows a similar path, offering a mix of suspense, humor, and supernatural elements that keep the audience entertained. The film stars Rajkummar Rao in the lead role, reprising his character from the first installment.
The charm of Stree 2 lies in its engaging storyline and well-balanced mix of fear and fun. The movie is centered around a ghost who terrorizes a small town, and it cleverly uses humour to keep the story light-hearted while maintaining the eerie atmosphere of a horror film. The excellent direction by Amar Kaushik and the cast's stellar performances have contributed to the film's success.
Breaking Records
One of the biggest achievements for Stree 2 was overtaking the box office collections of Jawan which had previously held the record for the highest-grossing Hindi film. In just 34 days, Stree 2 has not only surpassed the Rs 584 crore mark set by Jawan, but it is also on its way to reaching Rs 600 crores soon. The film's creators are hopeful that it will achieve this new milestone over the coming weekends.
The film's strong box office numbers come as a pleasant surprise, especially considering that it has already been in theaters for over a month. Usually, movies experience a decline in viewership after the first few weeks, but Stree 2 has managed to maintain its popularity. The movie's earnings continued to climb even in its fifth week, with daily collections in the crores.
Audience Love and Fan Support
The fans' love and support have played a significant role in the movie's success. Stree 2 has managed to keep audiences hooked with its unique genre, combining horror with comedy in a way that resonates with both younger and older generations. The movie has been particularly popular among young adults, who enjoy the film’s fun and spooky elements.
Maddock Films, the production house behind Stree 2 celebrated the film's success by sharing a post on social media, thanking fans for their overwhelming response. The post read, "Woh Stree hai aur usne aakhir kar dikhaya... Hindustan ki sabse sarvasreshth No. 1 Hindi film of all time!!!" The team expressed their gratitude to the fans who helped make this historic achievement possible.
Looking Ahead
As Stree 2 continues to perform well at the box office, there is growing excitement around what the future holds for this franchise. With its tremendous success, there may be talks of future sequels or spin-offs to explore more stories from the Stree universe.
For now, Stree 2 remains one of the most talked-about films in India, with its success story serving as an inspiration to filmmakers and actors alike. Its ability to maintain strong numbers in its fifth week is a testament to the film’s powerful appeal. As it approaches the Rs 600 crore milestone, Stree 2 is cementing its place in Bollywood history.
