The highly anticipated film Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has finally hit theaters on August 14, day before Independence Day, with premiers and is off to a promising start. According to early reports from advance booking, Stree 2 has outperformed its competitors, Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa, indicating a strong opening. With a significant buzz surrounding the film, projections suggest an opening day collection of over Rs 40 crore, making it a contender for the highest box office opener of the year.
The film's advance bookings have already amassed approximately Rs 20.51 crore. The timing of the holiday is expected to boost ticket sales, with the approaching Raksha Bandhan weekend providing further opportunities for the film to thrive. However, its ongoing success will largely depend on positive feedback from audiences.
Stree 2 also had paid previews on Wednesday, August 14, collecting Rs 7.50 crore, surpassing the previous record set by Chennai Express in 2013 with Rs 6.5 Crores. In contrast, Vedaa and Khel Khel Mein have reported significantly lower advance booking figures, garnering around Rs 1 crore. The film's strong start and positive buzz suggest it has the potential to surpass the record set by Gadar 2, making it a strong contender for the title of the highest box office opener for the year.
With its blend of horror and comedy, Stree 2 has generated significant interest among fans and critics alike. The film's success will be closely watched, and its performance will likely impact the box office landscape in the coming weeks. As the film continues to attract audiences, its potential to break records and achieve significant commercial success remains high.
