‘Stree 2’ Dominates Box Office, Leaves ‘Khel Khel Mein’ and ‘Vedaa’ Behind

Last week, Bollywood witnessed the release of three highly anticipated films, but it was Stree 2 that swiftly took the lead at the Box Office, leaving Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa trailing far behind.

The horror-comedy sequel, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, faced stiff competition as it clashed with the other two films on August 15. Despite this, Stree 2 quickly emerged as the clear favorite among moviegoers, surpassing its rivals by a substantial margin.

On its first Sunday, Stree 2 garnered an impressive Rs. 58.20 crore, pushing its total earnings to a staggering Rs. 204 crore within just four days. This overwhelming success has left trade analysts astounded.

Renowned trade analyst Taran Adarsh described the film’s performance as a “storm” or “tsunami” that has swept everything in its path. He took to social media platform X to express his thoughts: “Call it a STORM or a TSUNAMI or a TYPHOON… #Stree2 records a SENSATIONAL extended weekend… The two major #Hindi films that released alongside it [#KhelKhelMein, #Vedaa] were severely impacted by the #Stree2 wave. #Stree2 has hit a DOUBLE CENTURY [Rs 200 cr NBOC] in just 4 days, a feat accomplished by only a select few #Hindi biggies in the past… A HISTORIC feat for a mid-sized film. #Stree2 hit the ball out of the stadium on Day 4 [Sun], creating HAVOC by surpassing its Day 1 [Thu] numbers [#IndependenceDay]… It only goes to prove once again that a well-made desi entertainer will always be embraced by the audiences.”

In contrast, Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein managed to collect Rs. 11.05 crore by Saturday, while John Abraham’s Vedaa slightly lags behind.

As the first week comes to a close, all eyes are on Stree 2 to see how much further this box office juggernaut will go.
