Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor’s much-anticipated horror-comedy Stree 2 made waves at the box office, setting a new benchmark. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the sequel to the 2018 hit Stree was released on Independence Day, following paid previews the day before. The film is the fifth installment in the Maddock Supernatural Universe, also featuring Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana.
Stree 2 created significant buzz before its release, leading to what the producers, Maddock Films, claim to be the biggest opening ever for a Hindi film. According to them, the film grossed ₹76.5 crore in India on its first day, including the revenue from paid previews.
Maddock Films took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce the milestone, stating, “Stree 2 creates HISTORY! India’s highest Day 1 Box Office ever! Thank you, audience, for all the love.” They also shared a poster featuring the film’s cast with the caption, “India’s highest day 1 box office ever!”
The strong pre-release anticipation and positive reception have positioned Stree 2 as a potential blockbuster, signaling another success for the Maddock Supernatural Universe.
