BLOCKBUSTER horror comedy “Stree 2” has emerged as the first-ever Hindi film to cross the ₹6 billion-mark at the domestic box office, the makers said on Monday.
According to production house Maddock Films, the movie has earned ₹6.04 billion (£53.67 million) net at the ticket window in India since its August 15 release.
In an X post, the banner said “Stree 2”, directed by Amar Kaushik and penned by Niren Bhatt, has grossed ₹7.13 billion at home.
“‘Stree 2’ inaugurates the ₹6 billion club, becoming the first-ever Hindi film to reach this milestone! Thank you for your unwavering love and support (sic)” Maddock Films said in an X post.
Last week, the film surpassed the lifetime business of the Hindi version of 2023’s “Jawan”, which held the title of the highest grossing Hindi film at the Indian box office. The Shah Rukh Khan-starrer had earned ₹5.82 billion net in India after its release in September last year, reported trade website Sacnilk.
“Stree 2”, a follow-up to 2018’s “Stree”, stars Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Abhishek Banerjee, Pankaj Tripathi and Aparshakti Khurana.
The franchise is a part of the Maddock horror universe comprising films like “Bhediya” and “Munjya”.
