In a remarkable turn of events, “Stree 2,” starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, is poised to make cinematic history in India. The film, already a box office titan, is on the brink of surpassing Shah Rukh Khan’s monumental hit “Jawan.” As it stands, “Jawan” is the highest-grossing Hindi film at the Indian box office, having amassed a staggering Rs 582 crore. However, “Stree 2” is not far behind. Recently, the film overtook another Shah Rukh Khan blockbuster, “Pathaan,” becoming the second-highest-grossing Hindi film with earnings of Rs 555.04 crore.
According to trade expert Taran Adarsh, “Stree 2” has shown remarkable consistency in its performance. On its fourth Monday, the film collected Rs 3.60 crore, bringing its total box office revenue to an impressive Rs 555.04 crore. Adarsh noted, “#Stree2 continues to hold steady at Friday levels on [the fourth] Monday [despite weekday ticket rates] … With no major release until #Devara [on 27 Sept], the film enjoys an open playing field. Additionally, #NationalCinemaDay [on 20 Sept] is expected to provide a further boost to its biz. [Week 4] Fri 4.84 cr, Sat 8.77 cr, Sun 11.40 cr, Mon 3.60 cr. Total: ₹ 555.04 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice.”
Breaking records appears to be the trend for “Stree 2.” The film has already outperformed “Pathaan” and “Gadar 2,” both of which held the Rs 525 crore milestone. With its current trajectory, industry insiders predict that “Stree 2” could soon eclipse “Jawan,” the reigning champion of the Indian box office.
. While “Jawan” holds the top spot with Rs 582 crore in Hindi collections, “Stree 2” is just a few crore away from achieving this feat.
Globally, “Stree 2” has also made significant strides, earning Rs 750 crore. However, it’s in international revenue where “Jawan” still reigns supreme. Including earnings from its South Indian versions, “Jawan” has grossed Rs 640 crore in India, a figure “Stree 2” is unlikely to surpass. On the global stage, “Jawan” boasts an astonishing Rs 1100 crore, while “Pathaan” follows closely at Rs 1050 crore. Despite “Stree 2’s” impressive performance, Shah Rukh Khan maintains his status as the undisputed superstar of Indian cinema.
Repeating his earlier insights, trade expert Taran Adarsh commented on the film’s box office stability. He noted, “Stree 2 has collected 3.60 crore on its fourth Monday, and the total collection of Stree 2 stands at 555 crore. The film has maintained its momentum from Friday levels despite weekday pricing, giving it an advantageous position in the absence of significant new releases until ‘Devara’ hits theaters. The forthcoming National Cinema Day is also expected to bolster its earnings further.”
Adarsh shared detailed statistics of “Stree 2’s” box office journey: [Week 4] Fri 4.84 crore, Sat 8.77 crore, Sun 11.40 crore, Mon 3.60 crore, bringing the total to ₹ 555.04 crore in India. This impressive run positions “Stree 2” to potentially dethrone “Jawan” from its top position.
Repeating the trend, “Stree 2” has successfully surpassed the records set by “Pathaan” and “Gadar 2.” With its Hindi collection at Rs 555 crore, it inches closer to “Jawan’s” Rs 582 crore mark. Many analysts believe that given its current unstoppable momentum, “Stree 2” is well on its way to achieving this extraordinary milestone.
On a global scale, “Stree 2” has garnered an impressive Rs 750 crore. However, “Jawan’s” combined Indian earnings, including contributions from its Southern markets, total Rs 640 crore—an amount “Stree 2” is unlikely to reach. “Jawan’s” global box office record stands at an impressive Rs 1100 crore, followed closely by “Pathaan” at Rs 1050 crore. Despite “Stree 2’s” roaring success, Shah Rukh Khan retains his title as the biggest superstar in Indian cinema.
“Stree 2” has indeed set a new benchmark, having already earned Rs 750 crore globally and showing potential to beat “Jawan’s” record in India. Yet, as it stands, the competition remains stiff, and the title of the highest-grossing film continues to hang in the balance.
