If Nag Ashwin directed and Prabhas led Kalki 2898 AD was the big box office mover in the first half of the year, the second half has started with a bang with Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao led Stree 2, directed by Amar Kaushik . The sequel to the 2018 horror-comedy Stree, has shaken the Hindi box office in a way no one expected, and in style which will be quite difficult to replicate for the films to follow.

In the process, Stree 2 has gone on to become the highest grossing horror comedy film of all time beating the likes of Golmaal Again ( Rs 205.69 ) and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 ( 184.32). Another feat achieved by the Amar Kaushik directorial is that it has broken the shackles of being bound by a genre. In the last 5 days, the film has gone to beat lifetime records of films like Salman Khan’s Bharat ( Rs 212.03), Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter ( Rs 212.79) and Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki ( Rs 227 crore).
Stree 2 in just 5 days, has become the 29th biggest hit of Hindi Cinema, and if the film continues to stay steady over the week and show a spike in the coming extended weekend on the occasion of Janmashtami, it is bound to make place for itself in the top 10 list.
