Day 2 Box Office Performance

This slight dip in earnings is understandable, but the film’s overall box office run remains strong. In just two days, Stree 2 has accumulated a total of ₹90.30 crores in India alone. With the upcoming weekend and the partial holiday of Raksha Bandhan on Monday, August 19, Stree 2 is poised to easily surpass the 200 crore mark in its first five days.

The sequel to the 2018 hit Stree, Stree 2 stars Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Vijay Raaz, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana, and Tamannaah Bhatia. While the original film revolved around the haunting presence of Stree in the village of Chanderi, the sequel introduces a new terror, Sarkate. The film has been well-received by audiences, who have praised everything from the gripping storyline to the stellar performances. The strong word of mouth has undoubtedly contributed to the film’s box office success, reaffirming that content is indeed king.
