Stree 2, the much-anticipated sequel to the hit horror-comedy 'Stree', has continued its successful run at the box office, earning a remarkable Rs 403.05 Cr net in India alone during its first 12 days of release. The film, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, capitalized on the Janmashtami holiday to further boost its business. Despite this strong opening, the film has seen a significant drop in its second week, with early predictions suggesting a collection of around Rs 5.69 Cr India net on day 13. This downturn suggests a potential slow down in audience interest, though the film still holds a strong position within the Indian cinema landscape.
Released on Independence Day alongside other major releases like Vedaa and Khel Khel Mein, Stree 2 quickly captured the attention of moviegoers. Positive word-of-mouth and rave reviews fueled a surge in cinema attendance. The film's ensemble cast, featuring Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana, brought their comedic and dramatic skills to the screen, drawing in audiences with their familiar faces and established chemistry. Adding to the excitement, Varun Dhawan makes a cameo appearance as Bhediya, and Akshay Kumar makes a surprise appearance as Sarkata's descendant, adding an unexpected layer of intrigue and potential for future conflict within the Maddock's horror-comedy universe.
Stree 2, despite its initial success, now faces the challenge of sustaining its box office momentum in the face of a declining trend in the second week. The film's success will likely depend on the strength of its word-of-mouth promotion, audience retention, and the potential for continued success of the 'Stree' franchise. While it's still early to declare a definitive end for Stree 2, the film's future trajectory will hinge on its ability to engage audiences and maintain its hold on the Indian film market.
