With Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor back to their ghost-busting antics, this cinematic gem has taken everyone by surprise. The first installment, Stree (2018), was a laugh riot, but who would’ve thunk that the sequel would be knocking on the door of a colossal ₹600 crores at the Indian box office? Not me, and I’m the box office guru!
Just when you thought the movie was done and dusted, Stree 2 swoops in like a Bollywood superhero, breaking records left, right, and center. The film recently wrapped up its fifth weekend with a bang, raking in a cool ₹16 crores. That’s right, folks, ₹16 crores in its FIFTH weekend! Talk about a ghost story that refuses to die!
To put things in perspective, the previous fifth-weekend champion was Uri: The Surgical Strike with ₹12.50 crores. And guess what?
