In
just
four
days,

Stree
2

has
emerged
as
an
all
time
blockbuster.

It’s
the
quickest
ever
film
to
do
that
because
even
though
last
year,
there
were
four
blockbusters
in

Pathaan,
Gadar
2,
Jawan

and

Animal,

they
took
some
time
to
get
there
because
they
were
expensive
films.


Stree
2

entered
the
Rs
200
Crore
Club
on
Sunday
(the
collections
stand
at
Rs
204
crore/Rs
2.04
billion),
and
is
now
assured
of
lifetime
collections
of
over
Rs
400
crore
(Rs
4
billion).

Its
successful
run
started
from
its
paid
previews
on
Wednesday
night,
which
brought
in
Rs
9.40
crore
(Rs
94
million).

It
took
a
record
start
on
Thursday,
crossing
Rs
55.40
crore
(Rs
554
million),
and
went
even
higher
on
Sunday
with
Rs
58.20
crore
(Rs
582
million).

In
times
when
films
have
been
struggling
to
gain
a
lifetime
of
Rs
50
crore
(Rs
500
million)
comes
a
film
which
has
done
that
business
on
a
single
day.

Monday
is
a
partial
holiday
due
to
Rakshabandhan,
and
will
likely
add
to
the
momentum.

.

The
other
releases
of
the
week,

Khel
Khel
Mein

and

Vedaa
,
have
not
been
able
to
make
a
mark
at
the
box
office.

Though

Vedaa

fared
better
on
the
opening
day,

Khel
Khel
Mein

edged
ahead
in
the
four-day
weekend
and
earned
Rs
15
crore
(Rs
150
million).


Vedaa
,
meanwhile,
has
moved
to
Rs
13.50
crore
(Rs
135
million).

Given
the
credentials
involved
and
the
Independence
Day
holiday,
these
should
have
been
the
first
day
numbers
of
the
movies
had

Stree
2

not
arrived.
But

Stree
2

has
acted
like
a
hurricane
and
emerged
as
the
top
choice
of
the
audiences
by
a
distance.

All
collections

sources.
