The most talked about sequel of the year, ‘Stree 2’, directed by Amar Kaushik, has hit the theatres. The film is getting a tremendous response from the audience. The popularity of the film can be gauged from the fact that films of 2 other big stars were released along with it, but even after this, Stree 2 was the only hit at the box office. Stree 2 hit the theatres on the night of 14 August and then on 15th, Akshay Kumar’s ‘Khel-Khel Mein’ and John Abraham’s ‘Veda’ were also released. But, in terms of earnings, both the films could not compete with Stree 2.
What was the first day collection of Stree 2
The figures of the first day’s earnings of the film have come out, which shows that it alone is overshadowing many films. Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Stree 2 has set a new benchmark for 2024 with a massive Rs 54.35 crore opening day collection in India. Released on Independence Day, the film has not only surpassed expectations but also emerged as the biggest opener of the year.
Stree 2 is a sequel to the 2018 release
Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee and Aparshakti Khurana starrer Stree 2 has managed to carry forward the success of the 2018 release Stree. According to Sacnilk.com, the film earned Rs 8 crore during a special screening on Wednesday, followed by an official release on August 15, after which it earned a massive Rs 46 crore. With this, the film’s total earnings of Rs 54.35 crore have set a new record, surpassing previous big films like Kalki 2898 AD and Fighter.
The film’s success is even more remarkable as it clashed with Akshay Kumar and Taapsee Pannu’s ‘Khel Khel Mein’ and John Abraham’s ‘Veda’ on its opening day. Despite this, Stree 2 managed to hold its own. Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2 will see Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor reprising their earlier roles. The film takes forward the story of Chanderi, which is now haunted by the terror of the dreaded Sarkata, with the townspeople once again turning to Stree for help.
