'Stree 2' Advance Booking: Shraddha Kapoor's Film Leaves Akshay Kumar's 'Khel Khel Mein' Far Behind

Stree 2 starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor has already surpassed the benchmark set by the original 'Stree', which was released in 2018.

On August 15, the Hindi box office is set to become a battleground with three major films vying for attention—'Stree 2' starring Shraddha Kapoor, John Abraham’s 'Vedaa', and Akshay Kumar’s 'Khel Khel Mein'. However, the advance bookings suggest that 'Stree 2' is already emerging as the frontrunner, leaving its competitors far behind.

'Stree 2' Advance Booking Collections

The sequel has already surpassed the benchmark set by the original 'Stree', which was released in 2018. The first film recorded an opening day collection of ₹6.82 crore and went on to amass nearly ₹130 crore by the end of its theatrical run. Remarkably, 'Stree 2' has already broken the original's opening day numbers through advance bookings alone. According to Sacnilk, the horror-comedy sequel has sold over 2.21 lakh tickets, generating ₹6.87 crore in sales. With two days remaining until the film’s release, it’s expected to easily cross the ₹10 crore mark.

 

The Maharashtra and Delhi circuits are leading the advance booking frenzy, contributing ₹1.87 crore and ₹1.83 crore, respectively.

Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared, "ADVANCE BOOKING UPDATE: ‘STREE 2’ TICKET SALES ARE ON 🔥🔥🔥… The film industry can finally breathe a sigh of relief… #Stree2 is poised for a sensational start at the #BO… The pre-sales - which are growing rapidly by the hour - indicate a #Blockbuster start for this horror-comedy.

On the other hand, advance bookings for the other two #IndependenceDay releases - #KhelKhelMein and #Vedaa - are currently sluggish… However, there’s hope that the ticket sales will pick up before they hit cinemas."
