Films such as Akshay Kumar’s Sarphira and Ajay Devgn’s Auron Mein Kahaan Dum Tha have struggled to make a mark, allowing Stree 2 to stand out as a beacon of cinematic success.
The film’s initial success was nothing short of spectacular. On its first day, including paid previews, Stree 2 amassed a staggering ₹60.3 crores. Producer reports reveal that the film set a new benchmark by grossing ₹76.5 crores on its opening day, surpassing the first-day earnings of notable blockbusters like Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Jawan. Despite a slight dip in earnings on the second day, Stree 2 maintained a robust performance, especially considering it was a weekday.
