Amar Kaushik’s horror-comedy Stree 2, the much-anticipated sequel to the 2018 hit Stree, has earned Rs 106.5 crore at the Indian box office. The film, which stars Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Banerjee and Pankaj Tripathi, enjoyed a strong start. Special opening premieres held on Wednesday brought in Rs 8.5 crore, setting the stage for a successful opening day where the film grossed Rs 76.5 crore. On its second day, Stree 2 maintained its momentum, adding Rs 30 crore to its earnings, as per Sacnilk. However, this marks a 42.08% drop in collections.

Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film features Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor reprising their roles from the original. Stree 2 follows the story of how the sinister Sarkata now haunts the people of Chanderi, who turn to Stree for help once more. The film also includes several surprise star cameos including Akshay Kumar, Tamannaah Bhatia and Varun Dhawan.
