Shraddha Kapoor starrer ‘Stree 2’ has surpassed megastar Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan’, to become the highest-grossing Hindi-language film of all time in India.
Days after topping bigwigs like ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’, ‘Animal’ and ‘Pathaan’, Maddock Films horror comedy ‘Stree 2’ has taken the final leap ahead of SRK’s ‘Jawan’ (the Hindi version earnings only), to become the ‘number one Hindi film of all time’ in India.
Confirming the feat, the production banner announced on Wednesday morning that the ‘Stree’ sequel is officially ‘Indian box office’s no. 1 Hindi film of all time’. “Woh Stree hai aur usne aakhir kar dikhaya… Hindustan ki sab se sarvashresth (She is Stree and she has finally done it…India’s best film) No. 1 Hindi film of all time,” read the caption on the post.
“Yeh itihaas humare saath rachane ke liye sab fans ko bahut bahut dhanyavaad (thanks a lot to all fans for scripting this history with us)… Stree 2 is still running in cinemas successfully… theatre aao, kuch aur naye records rachate hain (come to theatres, let’s make some more new records),” the post read further.
Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s Stree 2 has collected Rs 586 crore at the Indian box office, as per trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
Stree 2, directed by Amar Kaushik, also has cameos by Varun Dhawan and Akshay Kumar. The first installment, Stree (2018), was already a massive hit, setting high expectations for the sequel.
However, Stree 2 has managed to exceed those expectations, capturing the hearts of fans across the country. The film also stars Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee and Aparshakti Khurana.
