Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao's Stree 2 has solidified its place in cinematic history by becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film ever, surpassing the lifetime collections of Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh confirmed the news on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle.
As of this week, the horror-comedy has accumulated a staggering Rs5.860 billion (Dh257 million) at the Indian box office, reflecting its widespread appeal among audiences. Stree 2 earned an impressive Rs453 billion net in its second week alone. Despite facing competition from new releases like Akshay Kumar's Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham's Vedaa, the film swiftly emerged as the audience's favorite.
Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2 has enthralled audiences not only with its compelling storyline but also with star-studded cameos from Varun Dhawan and Akshay Kumar, both of whom have been lauded for their contributions to the film. Originally released in 2018, the first instalment, Stree, was already a colossal hit, setting high expectations for the sequel. The film also features Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana.
