Having already surpassed the lifetime earnings of Fighter, Stree 2, the sequel of another box office hit Stree is on course to exceed the lifetime business of Kalki 2898 AD (Hindi version) within its first week. This positions Stree 2 as the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2024.
Although it’s still early to project the film’s total earnings, its remarkable momentum suggests that ₹400 crore is well within reach, with even ₹500 crore not out of the question.
