Filmmaker Amar Kaushik’s Stree 2 had a tremendous pre-release buzz owing to the popularity of the first film and high anticipation for the second. Hence, the film was expected to open big. However, the Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor starrer has gone past the expectations and how! The movie opened at a mammoth number of Rs. 55.40 crores. By doing this, it has also become Shraddha Kapoor’s highest opener of all time!
Surpassing Expectations:
Stree, which was released in 2018, became a surprise hit. In other words, there were not many expectations from the horror-comedy. The genre was also in its nascent stage at that time. But with the major success of the first film, there were high expectations from Stree 2, not just in terms of content but also box office. The film has lived up to both. While it has received positive reviews, it has really exploded at the box office as far as its opening is concerned.
Apart from the popularity of the first film, what really worked for Stree 2 is the entertainment factor both from the comic and horror elements. On top of that, the movie released on August 15, which is a big national holiday in India as it’s the Independence Day. All these factors have contributed to the film’s huge numbers.
Shraddha Kapoor’s Highest Opening Day Grosser:
Stree 2 has turned out to be Shraddha Kapoor’s highest opening day grosser by a large distance. The horror-comedy’s opening number of Rs. 55.40 crores is way higher than her previous best, which was Rs. 24.40 crores earned by the Hindi version of Saaho. The stage is now set for the film to be Shraddha’s highest grosser ever in terms of lifetime earnings. Her highest score right now is Rs. 142.95 crores earned by Saaho. Hence, it’s just a matter of time when Stree 2 would go past that number. Here’s a comparison of Stree 2’s opening day number with Shraddha’s previous releases:
