Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao's highly anticipated film *Stree 2* is rapidly approaching a significant milestone, poised to become one of the highest-grossing films of 2024. Since its theatrical release on August 15, the film has garnered considerable attention and has been met with enthusiastic reception from audiences across India.
The film's box office performance reached new heights on Sunday, August 18, with *Stree 2* earning over Rs 55 crore in India, marking its highest single-day collection since its debut. This surge in earnings has propelled the film's cumulative domestic gross to approximately Rs 190.55 crore. The impressive performance over the long Independence Day weekend has solidified the film's status as a major hit, with the Rs 200 crore net milestone now just hours away.
Directed by Amar Kaushik, *Stree 2* has enjoyed a stellar run in theatres, buoyed by overwhelmingly positive reviews and strong audience interest. The film's engaging horror-comedy blend has resonated well with viewers, contributing to its substantial box office haul. The film's occupancy rate on August 18 was notably high, with an overall occupancy of 72.74%, predominantly driven by the popularity of afternoon, evening, and night shows.
While a typical drop in earnings is expected on August 19, due to the natural decline in post-weekend ticket sales, *Stree 2* is anticipated to maintain a steady presence in theatres. The film's ongoing appeal and favorable reception suggest it will continue to perform well in the weeks ahead.
*Stree 2* is the latest installment in Dinesh Vijan’s successful horror-comedy universe, which has captivated audiences with its unique blend of humor and thrills. This franchise includes the original *Stree*, the Janhvi Kapoor-starring *Roohi*, Varun Dhawan's *Bhediya*, and the Sharwari Wagh and Mona Singh-starring *Munjya*. As the fifth entry in this popular series, *Stree 2* has further expanded the franchise's footprint and added to its impressive track record.
The film's robust performance underscores its popularity and the growing success of Dinesh Vijan's cinematic universe. With *Stree 2* inching closer to the Rs 200 crore mark, it is poised to join the ranks of the year's top-performing films, marking a notable achievement in the Indian film industry.
