Stree 2 Surpasses Gadar 2 And Pathaan, Becomes Third Highest-Grossing Hindi Film Ever

Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor’s Stree 2 is setting new benchmarks at the box office, overcoming stiff competition from festivals and film releases alike.

Despite the ongoing Ganpati Visarjan celebrations, the horror-comedy has maintained its momentum, raking in an impressive Rs 527 crore domestically.

After a 15% drop in collections on Friday, Stree 2 bounced back with a remarkable 88% growth on Saturday, pulling in Rs 8.5 crore. The upward trend continued on Sunday, with collections surging to Rs 10.75 crore, according to data from Sacnilk.

This puts Stree 2 ahead of Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 (Rs 525.7 crore) and Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan (Rs 524.53 crore), making it the third highest-grossing Hindi film of all time.

Globally, the Amar Kaushik-directed film has amassed a staggering Rs 759.30 crore, further solidifying its place as a box office juggernaut.

Dominance at the Box Office

Despite competition from the likes of Vedaa and Khel Khel Mein, which released on the same day, Stree 2 has maintained its dominant run.

The postponement of Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency due to certification delays by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has also played a role in giving Stree 2 a clear shot at uninterrupted success. Now, with Emergency receiving a U/A certificate, its release is expected soon.

However, Stree 2 may face its first major challenge with the release of The Buckingham Murders, starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, slated for September 13.

Expansion of the Maddock Supernatural Universe

Amar Kaushik, the visionary director behind Stree 2, has revealed exciting plans for the future of the Maddock Supernatural Universe.

A sequel to Bhediya, featuring Varun Dhawan, is already in the works. Additionally, Kaushik has announced a vampire film, Thamba, starring Ayushmann Khurrana.
