After ‘Pathan’ and ‘Jawaan’, ‘Gadar 2’ and ‘Animal’ also crossed the 500 crore mark in Hindi. But still the record of ‘Jawaan’ remained far away from them. Therefore, it was assumed that it would be impossible for any film to break the record of ‘Jawaan’ in the next few years. ‘Stree 2’ has now made it possible.
When Rajkumar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor’s film ‘Stree 2’ was released, it was predicted that it will earn a lot of money. But no one had imagined that it has reached the level it has now.
‘Bahubali 2’, made in the Telugu industry, became the biggest Hindi film in 2017 by making a net collection of Rs 511 crore. Whereas Bollywood, also known as the Hindi film industry, took 6 years to break this record. Superstar Shahrukh Khan’s film ‘Pathan’ broke this record and with his next film ‘Jawaan’, he created a new record of the biggest Hindi film.
Last year, after Shahrukh’s films, two more blockbuster films ‘Gadar 2’ and ‘Animal’ also crossed the 500 crore mark in Hindi. But still the record of ‘Jawaan’ remained far away from them. In such a situation, it was assumed in the film business that it would be impossible for any film to break the record of ‘Jawaan’ in the next few years. But now ‘Stree’ 2 has made the impossible possible and that too after just one year.
‘Stree 2’ makes the top record
Dinesh Vijan’s horror universe’s biggest film ‘Stree 2’ is running its fifth week at the box office. The film started this week with a great weekend collection. ‘Stree 2’ made a net collection of Rs 16 crore on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
In the fifth weekend, the film earned so much that this year’s A-list Bollywood stars like Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgan’s films could not earn in the first weekend. The collection of ‘Stree 2’ crossed the impressive figure of 580 crores after the fifth weekend, which has been crossed only by Shahrukh’s film ‘Jawaan’ in Bollywood till now. And from here the race to become number 1 started.
The film remained strong at the box office on Monday as well and collected Rs 3.17 crore. And with Tuesday’s collection, the film did wonders which hardly anyone would have expected before the film’s release on August 15. With a slight drop on Tuesday as compared to Monday, ‘Stree 2’ has collected Rs 2.65 crore and now its total net collection has become Rs 586 crore.
‘Stree 2’ became the top film very quickly compared to ‘Jawaan’
Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Jawaan’ took 5 weeks to earn the biggest collection of Hindi films i.e. 584 crores. But the craze of ‘Stree 2’ was such that it took only 34 days to reach 586 crores. That means at least 22 days less.
Rajkumar and Shraddha’s film is now on its way to create a new record. Till now no Hindi film has been able to make a net India collection of Rs 600 crore at the box office. But now ‘Stree 2’ is just 14 crores away from this landmark achievement.
Till now, action drama films have been considered the biggest earning guarantee in Bollywood. The industry has got 4 films which have earned 500 crores – Pathan, Jawaan, Gadar 2 and Animal. All these were action packed films. But now a horror-comedy film ‘Stree 2’ is going to start the 600 crore club in Bollywood.
