Horror-comedy Stree 2 has achieved a monumental feat by becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time at the Indian box office, its makers have confirmed. The film has garnered a staggering Rs. 586 crore, surpassing the previous record set by Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster Jawan, which had earned Rs. 582 crore.
Currently in its fifth week, Stree 2 continues to draw large crowds to theaters across the country, maintaining strong momentum at the box office. The film, which is a sequel to the 2018 hit Stree, expands the horror-comedy universe created by producer Dinesh Vijan. This universe also includes films like Bhediya and Munjya, adding more depth to the franchise.
The plot of Stree 2 picks up from where the original left off, featuring Vicky, played by Rajkummar Rao, and his friends as they encounter a new supernatural threat — a ghost named Sarkata, which consists of only a head. The film’s blend of horror and humor has resonated well with audiences, leading to its impressive box office success.
Maddock Films, the production house behind the film, celebrated the milestone on X (formerly Twitter), with a post reading, “Woh Stree hai aur usne aakhir kar dikhaya… Hindustan ki sab se sarvashresth No. 1 Hindi film of all time!!! Yeh itihaas humare saath rachane ke liye sab fans ko bahut bahut dhanyavaad.” The film continues to play in cinemas, with further records anticipated.
The unprecedented success of Stree 2 not only solidifies its place in the annals of Bollywood history but also demonstrates the growing popularity of genre-blending films that push creative boundaries.
