Amar Kaushik’s ‘Stree 2’ starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao has shown remarkable box office strength, maintaining solid business even in its third week. Impressively, it recorded the highest third-week collection for a Hindi film to date, surpassing the third-week earnings of Animal, Jawan, and Baahubali 2 (Hindi version). The horror-comedy brought in Rs 70.20 crore nett with its Hindi version alone, setting a new record.

Stree 2 crosses record of Animal and Gadar 2
Interestingly, Stree 2 also crossed the Rs 500 crore mark at the domestic box office within 22 days, becoming the second-fastest Hindi film to achieve this milestone after Jawan, which did it in 18 days.
Starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, Stree 2 is now on track to potentially become the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time, surpassing the lifetime collections of Gadar 2, Pathaan, Animal, and Jawan.
