Trade expert Taran Adarsh shared a detailed breakdown of Stree 2’s earnings for its third week, noting that the film is maintaining a strong hold at the box office, even on weekdays. According to Adarsh, the movie’s success is being driven largely by mass circuits, particularly in non-national chains and single screens in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. This consistent performance is expected to continue uninterrupted until the festival of Dussehra, adding to the movie’s already impressive haul. Adarsh tweeted, “#Stree2 is rock-steady at the #BO, firmly holding its ground on a working day [third Mon]… Mass circuits – particularly non-national chains + single screens at Tier-2 and Tier-3 centres – are driving its biz… Expected to enjoy a smooth, uninterrupted run right till #Dussehra.

Banerjee attributed the film’s success to its compelling content, adding, “Content is king, and Amar Kaushik [the director] has proven this with his incredible work on Stree 2.”
Stree 2’s success is not just limited to beating Animal at the box office; it has also shattered records set by several other blockbuster films. The movie has outperformed heavyweights like Sanju, Dangal, and KGF Chapter 2, making its mark as one of the most successful films in recent times.

As per industry analysts, the film’s compelling storytelling, stellar performances, and strategic release timing have all played crucial roles in its sustained success.
What remains to be seen is whether Stree 2 can break the records set by other monumental hits such as Gadar 2, Jawan, and Pathaan. Given its current trajectory and the favorable response from both critics and audiences, it seems well within the realm of possibility.
Adding to the fervor is the fact that Stree 2 has made significant inroads into Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. These regions have historically been crucial for the box office performance of Bollywood films, and Stree 2’s stronghold in these areas indicates a widening fan base that spans across diverse demographics.
Banerjee’s interview with Zee News also highlighted how the film stands out in the landscape of Indian cinema. “It’s not just about big names or star power; it’s about the story that connects with people,” he emphasized. “The success of Stree 2 reiterates that audiences are looking for fresh and innovative content.”
