On Day 34, Stree 2 continues its impressive run at the box office, with its lowest-earning day still 213% higher than Jawan. However, the film still requires an additional ₹55 crore to surpass Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster. Despite being Stree 2‘s lowest-earning day at the box office, the film still achieved the highest Day 33 collection in Bollywood.
Stree 2 Box Office Collection Day 33: A Historic Milestone for Bollywood
Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has had an outstanding run at the box office, and Day 33 marked another milestone for the film. Despite being its lowest-earning day so far, the movie continued to dominate Bollywood’s box office landscape, achieving an impressive collection even after more than a month in theaters. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the horror-comedy has captivated audiences across the country and is closing in on becoming one of the highest-grossing films of 2023.
Day 33 Box Office Performance
On September 17, the 33rd day of its release, Stree 2 earned in the range of ₹2.5 to ₹2.7 crore, according to early trends. Although this was the lowest collection day in the film’s remarkable run, it is still an impressive figure considering it was a working day, and the film has been in theaters for over a month. What’s even more remarkable is that this “lowest” earning day still outperformed other major Bollywood releases by a significant margin.
By Day 33, the film’s total collection stands at a staggering ₹585 crore, a massive achievement for a movie made on a modest budget of ₹60 crore. The profitability and sheer earning power of Stree 2 have been widely acknowledged, as the film continues to attract audiences despite competition from other releases and the natural box office decline films typically experience over time.
Setting a New Record for Day 33 in Bollywood
The standout moment for Stree 2 on Day 33 was that it secured the biggest Day 33 collection in Bollywood history. It surpassed the previous record set by Uri: The Surgical Strike, which earned ₹1.60 crore on its 33rd day. Stree 2’s earnings were not only higher but a massive 213% more than the box office collections of Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan’s highly anticipated blockbuster, which earned ₹80 lakh on its 33rd day.
This achievement highlights the film’s enduring appeal and strong word-of-mouth support from audiences. Very few films manage to maintain such high box office collections this late into their theatrical runs, but Stree 2 has proven to be an exception, continuing to pull in sizable crowds even after 33 days.
A Closer Look at the Competition
Stree 2’s success becomes even more impressive when compared to other top Bollywood films of 2023. By Day 33, Stree 2 had already surpassed the lifetime collections of Pathaan (₹543.22 crore) and Animal (₹554 crore). These were significant milestones, but the film’s biggest challenge lies ahead—surpassing Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, which remains the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2023.
As of Day 33, Stree 2 is still ₹55 crore short of beating Jawan. The competition between the two films is now a major point of interest for industry watchers, as Stree 2 steadily inches closer to overtaking Jawan at the box office. If Stree 2 manages to pull off this feat, it will not only be the highest-grossing film of 2023 but also a defining moment in the year’s cinematic landscape.
Why Stree 2 Resonates with Audiences
The continued success of Stree 2 can be attributed to several factors. First, the horror-comedy genre, which is relatively underexplored in Bollywood, has proven to be a major draw for audiences. The blend of humor and supernatural elements has worked remarkably well, creating a unique cinematic experience. Moreover, the stellar performances of Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, along with strong supporting performances, have added depth to the film, making it more than just a lighthearted comedy.
Additionally, director Amar Kaushik has masterfully balanced comedy and suspense, keeping viewers entertained throughout. The film’s engaging storyline, which revolves around a supernatural entity terrorizing a small town, struck a chord with audiences, appealing to both horror fans and those looking for lighthearted entertainment. Word-of-mouth recommendations have also played a crucial role in extending the film’s box office life.
Surpassing Other Bollywood Hits
In addition to surpassing Uri: The Surgical Strike for the biggest Day 33 collection, Stree 2 also beat the collection of Baahubali: The Conclusion on its 33rd day. The latter had earned ₹1.60 crore on Day 33, placing it third among Bollywood films with the highest collections on that specific day. This puts Stree 2 at the top of the rankings, followed by Uri and Baahubali 2, further solidifying its place in Bollywood history.
What sets Stree 2 apart is not just its box office performance but also its ability to maintain strong earnings over time. Bollywood films often see a steep drop-off in collections after the first few weeks, but Stree 2 has consistently defied this trend. Even after more than a month, the film is bringing in significant revenue, proving its long-lasting appeal.
The Road Ahead: Can Stree 2 Beat Jawan?
As Stree 2 approaches the ₹600 crore mark, the big question remains: can it beat Jawan? While the gap of ₹55 crore might seem significant, Stree 2’s steady earnings suggest that it is still possible. The film has proven that it can maintain momentum, even on weekdays, and if it continues to perform well in the coming weeks, it might just surpass Jawan and claim the title of the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2023.
Another factor that could work in Stree 2’s favor is the lack of major upcoming releases that might cut into its box office earnings. With no major competition on the horizon, the film has the potential to keep drawing audiences to theaters. However, it remains to be seen whether the film can maintain this momentum long enough to close the gap with Jawan.
Conclusion: A Box Office Triumph
Stree 2 has already cemented its place as one of the biggest box office successes of the year, and its Day 33 performance only adds to its impressive list of achievements. With ₹585 crore already in the bank and the potential to surpass ₹600 crore in the coming days, the film’s success is a testament to the power of strong storytelling, effective marketing, and word-of-mouth buzz.
As it continues its glorious run, Stree 2 has not only set new records but also proven that well-made, genre-blending films can find massive success in Bollywood. Whether it manages to beat Jawan or not, Stree 2 has already become one of the most iconic films of 2023, with a legacy that will be remembered for years to come.
