"#Stree2 CREATES HISTORY... When #Boxoffice speaks louder than words... #Stree2 defies *all* pre-release expectations and predictions... Opens to a FANTABULOUS START, emerging as the BIGGEST OPENER OF 2024 [#Hindi films]. #Stree2 *Day 1* biz is AHEAD of #Pathaan [Rs 55 cr], #Animal [Rs 54.75 cr], #KGF2 #Hindi [Rs 53.95 cr], #War [Rs 51.60 cr] and #TOH [Rs 50.75 cr]. #Stree2 has set new benchmarks for the horror-comedy genre... #Stree [first part] had collected Rs 60.39 cr in *Week 1*... #Stree2 has CROSSED that figure on *Day 1* + previews alone... Incredible, isn't it? Also, the much-hyped 'clash' with #KhelKhelMein and #Vedaa never truly unfolded, as #Stree2 is ahead by leaps and bounds... Ahead at urban centres, unprecedented in mass pockets. Now, just imagine the potential of #Stree2 had it been a solo release. [Week 1] Wed previews 9.40 cr, Thu 55.40 cr. Total: Rs 64.80 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice," Taran Adarsh also wrote on X.
