According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film has amassed a total of Rs 453.60 crore net during its second week.

Stree 2, directed by Amar Kaushik, faced competition at the box office from Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa, but quickly emerged as the top choice for moviegoers, surpassing the other releases by a significant margin. The film also features special cameos by Varun Dhawan and Akshay Kumar, both of whom received praise for their performances.

With Maalik on the horizon and the success of Stree 2, RajKummar Rao continues to solidify his position as one of Bollywood’s most versatile and bankable stars.
