The Sequel of Stree overtakes the puny earnings of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’

The highly anticipated sequel ‘Stree 2’ has taken the box office by storm, becoming one of the most successful Hindi films of 2024

The highly anticipated sequel ‘Stree 2’ has taken the box office by storm, becoming one of the most successful Hindi films of 2024. Directed by Amar Kaushik and starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, the film has impressed audiences with its blend of horror and comedy, delivering a strong financial performance. Recently, ‘Stree 2’ surpassed ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ (Hindi) to become the third most profitable Hindi film of the year, with a commendable 240% return on investment (ROI). The film entered the coveted Rs 200 crore club within just four days of its release, a feat made more impressive by its financial returns. ‘Stree 2’ was released on August 15, 2024, coinciding with the Independence Day holiday, maximizing its initial audience.

Despite competing with other releases, ‘Stree 2’ dominated the box office from day one, surpassing the returns of ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ (Hindi) with its high ROI. The film’s success can be attributed to the strong brand established by the original ‘Stree’ film, the star power of Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, and Amar Kaushik’s direction. Made on a budget of Rs 60 crores, the film garnered a collection of ₹204 crores at the Indian box office in its extended opening weekend. As of now, ‘Stree 2’ ranks third on the list of the most profitable Hindi films of 2024, with a strong chance of continuing its dominance at the box office. With the holiday season approaching and fewer major releases on the horizon, ‘Stree 2’ is expected to maintain its pace and potentially challenge the top spot held by ‘Munjiya’ with its 256% ROI.
