*Stree 2*, starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, has achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film, surpassing the box office collections of Shah Rukh Khan's *Jawan*. Released on August 15, 2024, alongside two other Hindi films, *Stree 2* has amassed an impressive Rs 586 crore to date. This achievement marks a significant moment in Indian cinema, as the film's earnings have now outpaced the Hindi version of *Jawan*, directed by Atlee and starring Shah Rukh Khan.
On September 17, 2024, *Stree 2* added Rs 2.65 crore to its total, further solidifying its position as the highest-grossing Hindi film. The film’s success is largely attributed to its strong audience reception and favorable market conditions, including the absence of major film releases in September. As a result, *Stree 2* has enjoyed a clear run at the box office, contributing to its record-breaking earnings.
Looking ahead, *Stree 2* is now setting its sights on the Rs 600 crore club. To surpass *Jawan*'s total earnings, which exceed Rs 640 crore, *Stree 2* will need to sustain its robust box office performance. The film's continued success will be tested by upcoming releases, including Siddhanth Chaturvedi and Malavika Mohanan's *Yudhra* and *Devara: Part 1*, featuring Jr NTR and marking the Telugu debut of Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor, set to release on September 27.
*Stree 2*, directed by Amar Kaushik, has captivated audiences with its blend of horror and comedy, featuring a strong ensemble cast that includes Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurrana, and Pankaj Tripathi. The film's engaging storyline, humorous elements, and stellar performances have resonated with viewers, contributing to its unprecedented success at the box office. As it continues its impressive run, the film is poised to further cement its place in the annals of Hindi cinema history, setting new benchmarks for future releases.
