-

In what is being hailed as a historic moment for Bollywood, Stree 2 has officially become the first blockbuster of 2024. The horror-comedy sequel, which has been garnering immense praise since its release, shattered records on its second Saturday at the box office, achieving a milestone that places it among the greatest successes in Indian cinema history.

Stree 2 makes History - Outperforms Baahubali 2 and Pathaan on second Saturday, eyes Bollywood’s 500 crore club

On its second Saturday, Stree 2 raked in an impressive Rs. 33.80 crores, a figure that not only solidifies its blockbuster status but also places it ahead of some of the biggest hits in recent years. To put this achievement into perspective, Stree 2 has surpassed the second Saturday collections of major blockbusters such as Gadar 2 (Rs. 31.07 crores), Jawan (Rs. 30.10 crores), Baahubali 2 (Hindi) (Rs. 26.50 crores), The Kashmir Files (Rs. 24.80 crores), Pathaan (Rs. 22.50 crores), and KGF 2 (Hindi) (Rs. 18.25 crores).

These numbers not only demonstrate the film’s widespread appeal but also reflect the extraordinary support from audiences across India. The film’s unique blend of horror, comedy, and social commentary, coupled with stellar performances and engaging storytelling, has resonated with viewers, driving them to theaters in droves.

With its second Saturday earnings, Stree 2 has brought its total domestic box office collection to Rs. 360.90 crores. The film is now poised to cross the Rs. 400 crore mark, a milestone expected to be reached by the end of its second Sunday or Monday. This achievement will further cement Stree 2’s place in the annals of Indian cinema as one of the highest-grossing films of all time.

What’s even more remarkable is that Stree 2 is on track to enter the exclusive Rs. 500 crore club, a feat achieved by only a handful of films in the history of Indian cinema. Given the film’s current momentum and the enthusiastic response from audiences, its entry into this prestigious club seems all but guaranteed.

This box office performance is particularly noteworthy because it comes at a time when the industry is still recovering from the impacts of the pandemic, with many films struggling to draw audiences back to theaters. Stree 2 has not only defied these odds but has set new benchmarks, proving that content-driven cinema can thrive and even dominate in today’s landscape.

To break down the numbers, Stree 2 kicked off its second weekend with a solid Rs. 19.30 crores on Friday, followed by the historic Rs. 33.80 crores on Saturday. This brings the film’s total earnings to Rs. 360.90 crores as of the end of Saturday. With Sunday still to come, the film is expected to add significantly to this total, making its performance all the more remarkable.

After playing in theatres for 10 days, the Salman Khan starrer Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has entered the Rs. 100 Crore Club. It has taken a while for the film to reach here since pre-pandemic it was an entirely different scenario where Salman Khan starrers were scoring as much in their opening weekend itself. However, these are different times and hence the kind of momentum that was evidenced for films in 2019 or before is just not coming in. Yes, there are exceptions like Pathaan or Brahmastra but then those have a different kind of pitch and aren’t regular affairs. This can be seen in the way how collections are coming for the Farhad Samji directed film in the second weekend, what with Sunday collections staying low at Rs. 3.50 crores. For a big holiday release, one would have been expecting a double digit score at the bare minimum on second Sunday but then that has hardly happened for any film during last 18 odd months ever since Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi opened theatres aga
