Box office game

According to a report in Sacnilk.com, Stree 2 performed well on its first 23 days at the box office and earned an estimated ₹507.75 crore India (net). By day 24, the film minted ₹516.25 crore. As per Sacnilk, the Baahubali 2 Hindi collection in India is ₹510.99 core.

The film entered the ₹500 club in the third week itself, becoming the 9th film to do so. After beating SS Rajamouli's action epic Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, Stree 2 is competing with Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan ( ₹640.25 crore] and Pathaan ( ₹543.09 crore) to become the highest grossing Hindi film of all time in India.

About the film

Stree 2 hit the screens on August 15, Independence Day 2024, alongside other big Hindi films such as Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa.
