Stree
2
has
joined
the
big
league.
In
a
year
that
has
been
deprived
of
even
average
successes
at
the
box
office,
Stree
2
has
become
an
all
time
blockbuster
in
just
one
week.
It
has
crossed
the
Rs
300
crore
(Rs
3
billion)
mark
in
just
eight
days
(plus
paid
previews)
and
in
the
process,
emerged
as
one
of
the
fastest
ever
to
reach
this
milestone.
To
put
things
in
perspective,
the
films
that
did
so
in
the
past
were
biggies
like
Pathaan,
Gadar
2,
Jawan
and
Animal,
all
of
which
released
last
year,
and
they
ended
up
being
Rs
500
crore
to
Rs
600
crore
(Rs
5
billion
to
Rs
6
billion)
grossers.
Now
Stree
2,
which
has
the
least
budget
amongst
them
(and
perhaps
comparable
only
with
Gadar
2),
has
exceeded
all
expectations.
The
film,
which
earned
around
Rs
305
crore
(Rs
3.05
billion),
scored
a
half
century
score
on
its
release
day
itself,
Thursday.
The
collections
are
expected
to
increase
again
this
weekend,
which
means
Rs
400
crore
(Rs
4
billion)
will
happen
in
quick
time
too.
The
film
is
a
shot
in
the
arm
for
the
exhibition
and
distribution
circuits,
and
one
hopes
the
good
run
continues
for
other
films
as
well.
