With this, the sequel to the 2018 film Stree, Stree 2 has become the fastest Bollywood film to reach the Rs 400 crore milestone.

Among its many box office records, Stree 2 has also become the second-highest-grossing Indian film of 2024. It is trailing Nag Ashwin’s epic drama Kalki 2898 AD, which has grossed more than Rs 1,100 crore.
Also starring Abhishek Banerjee, Pankaj Tripathi, and Aparshakti Khurana in pivotal roles, Stree 2 has no competition in sight in the upcoming week.
