Still from Stree 2
Stree is back, and this time, she`s not just terrifying the town of Chanderi—she`s dominating the box office. In its latest update, Stree 2 has become a phenomenal success, raking in over ₹400 crore net in India within two weeks of its release. This feat puts the film in the prestigious company of the top 10 highest-grossing Hindi films of all time.
This incredible performance has seen Stree 2 surpass the lifetime collections of Bollywood giants like Dangal (₹374.43 Cr) and Sanju (₹342.57 Cr). The horror-comedy has even outperformed some of Hollywood`s biggest hits in India, including Avatar: The Way of Water (₹391 Cr) and Avengers: Endgame (₹373 Cr).

Director Amar Kaushik, still basking in the success of his debut film, shared his initial trepidation about venturing into the horror genre. "When Stree released, it was my first film, and I was very nervous," he confessed. He never intended to begin his career with a horror movie, but Stree ended up being a unique experience with no prior reference point. Kaushik, inspired by his own desire for fresh and innovative cinema, aimed to deliver something new to the audience.
The question on everyone`s mind now is: Can Stree 2 join the elite ₹500 crore club? This achievement would put it in the league of mega-blockbusters like Pathaan, Jawan, RRR, Baahubali 2, Animal, Gadar 2, KGF 2, and Kalki 2898 AD—the only eight films to reach this landmark.
