Stree 2 Box Office Day 2: Shraddha Kapoor-Rajkummar Rao Film Creates History, Crosses Rs 100 Cr Mark

Stree 2 Box Office Collection Day 2: Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Banerjee, and Pankaj Tripathi, is making waves at the box office with a phenomenal start. The film raked in an impressive Rs 60.3 crore net in India on its first day, with its gross collection standing at around Rs 76.5 crore. On its second day, the film added another Rs 30 crore to its net total, bringing the cumulative net collection to Rs 90.3 crore. This solid performance has propelled Stree 2’s gross earnings past the Rs 100 crore mark, a significant achievement for a film of its genre.

The film’s success is particularly noteworthy given the tough competition it faced on its opening day from Akshay Kumar and Taapsee Pannu’s Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham’s Vedaa. Despite this, Stree 2 managed to hold its own, largely due to strong anticipation and the positive word of mouth surrounding the film. On Friday, August 16, 2024, the film enjoyed a healthy 45.31 percent occupancy rate in Hindi-speaking regions, according to Sacnilk.com.

Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2 sees Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor reprise their roles from the original. The sequel continues the eerie tale in the town of Chanderi, now haunted by a new terror, Sarkata. The townspeople once again turn to Stree for salvation. The film also features several surprise cameos, including Varun Dhawan as Bhediya, who shares a special song with Shraddha Kapoor.

The advance bookings for Stree 2 were nothing short of spectacular, with 3,92,000 tickets sold on day one at national multiplexes, surpassing some of Bollywood’s biggest releases. With an occupancy rate of 75.09 percent on its opening day, the film’s success underscores the enduring appeal of horror-comedies.

In addition to being a box office hit, Stree 2 has garnered critical acclaim. News18 Showsha awarded the film a rating of 3.5/5, praising Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao for their standout performances. While Shraddha’s action-packed scenes were a highlight, her character’s limited screen time left some fans wanting more. Rajkummar Rao, however, was commended for his versatility and memorable portrayal, solidifying his status as one of Bollywood’s most reliable stars.
