Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkumar Rao starrer horror comedy Stree 2 has been one of the biggest Bollywood blockbusters of the year. The film opened to largely positive reviews on Independence Day weekend and has been achieving one box-office milestone after another.
Stree 2 has now shattered the 3rd weekend record of Baahubali 2 and in the process, also crossed Rs 500 crore share mark with great ease. Baahubali 2 held the 3rd weekend record for 7 years as it collected Rs 42.55 crores on its weekend 3. Stree 2 broke this longstanding record with Rs 48.75 crores over its 3rd weekend.
Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2 has also equaled Shahrukh Khan’s Jawan record of crossing Rs 500 crore mark on the 18th day of its release. This is a phenomenal achievement considering the lack of A-list stars and star directors for this horror-comedy.
The horror comedy has now joined the Rs 500 crore club alongside Jawan, Pathaan, Gadar 2 Animal, and Baahubali 2 (Hindi). This film is a sequel to the 2018 super hit Stree and features Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana in supporting roles. The film also had cameos from Akshay Kumar and Varun Dhawan.
