Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor & Pankaj Tripathi-starer ‘Stree 2’ is witnessing very strong box office collection numbers with analysts pointing out that the movie may cross Rs 350 crore total collections.
“Stree 2 (is) seeing very strong (box collections) numbers. (The movie) is likely to touch close to Rs 200 crore in opening weekend as Monday is also a semi-holiday in North India. Lifetime BOX office (collection) in India is likely to be Rs 350 crore, which is a very good number,” Abneesh Roy, Executive Director at Nuvama Institutional Equities wrote in a note.
”This again shows that if (there is) no elections, cricket, Olympics, (then) box office Cinema can do well and happily co-exist with OTTs,” he added. He said that this augurs well for movie theatres like PVR.
Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee and Aparshakti Khurana are in the lead roles in Stree 2, which is doing good business in India.
Stree 2 is the sequel to his 2018 hit film Stree. The horror-comedy sees Rajkummar and Shraddha reprise their roles for the sequel. It explores the story of the people of Chanderi being terrorised by a beheaded entity called Sarkata who is abducting women. The people have no choice but to look to Stree for help now.
Stree 2 also features several cameos by stars which have been kept under wraps. Varun Dhawan reprises his role as Bhediya, featuring in a song with Shraddha. The film has music composed by Sachin–Jigar, score composed by Justin Varghese.
After several box-office flops, the Hindi film industry is looking at some good films to regain the lost ground.
