Hyderabad: Filmmaker Amar Kaushik's latest horror comedy, Stree 2, has continued its impressive performance even on its third Tuesday. The film, starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, has achieved a remarkable feat by surpassing the lifetime box office record of the massive hit Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. Although its momentum has slightly decreased, Stree 2 remains a strong contender in the box office, enjoying significant audience interest, especially with no major releases scheduled until Siddhant Chaturvedi and Malavika Mohanlal's Yudhra hits screens on September 20.

- Worldwide Success and Profitability
On a global scale, Stree 2 has already grossed Rs 703.25 crore and is expected to reach Rs 850 crore by the end of its run. Considering its reported budget of Rs 100 crore, the film's success is notable. It stands as one of the most profitable films to have crossed the Rs 500 crore mark.
- Uninterrupted Box Office Run
With Kangana Ranaut's Emergency being postponed from its September 6 release date, Stree 2 enjoys a clear run for at least another week. The film had previously faced competition from Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham’s Vedaa, both of which faltered after their first week. Since then, Stree 2 has had a smooth, uncontested run.
- Climbing the All-Time Charts
Currently, Stree 2 is ranked fourth among the highest-grossing Hindi films of all time in India. It is now set to challenge the likes of Pathaan and Gadar 2 by the weekend's end. The film is also on track to compete with Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan (Rs 584 crore) for the top spot as the highest-grossing film ever.
- Cast and Plot Highlights
A sequel to the 2018 hit Stree, the film features Rajkummar, Shraddha, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurrana. Akshay Kumar and Varun Dhawan also make cameo appearances in this latest installment of the Maddock Supernatural Universe (MSU). In Stree 2, Vicky (Rajkummar), Bittu (Aparshakti), and their team confront a new menace, a headless monster named 'Sartaka', who is abducting young women from Chanderi. The film links to its predecessor as well as Bhediya (2022), another of Kaushik’s creature comedies featuring Varun Dhawan.
Released on Independence Day, Stree 2 went head-to-head with Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham's Vedaa, both of which failed to make a significant impact.
