Film critic and Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared a report on Stree 2's box office trends on X (formerly Twitter). He mentioned that the Amar Kaushik directorial is expected to witness growth over the weekend due to the Janmashtami festivities. “Stree 2 maintains an excellent hold at the BO, shows no signs of fatigue, and continues to deliver double-digit figures. The [second] Friday numbers prove it and how. Business is expected to surge from Saturday to Monday [Janmashtami], further boosting its already massive total. [Week 2] Friday ₹ 19.30 crore. Total: ₹ 327.10 crore. #India biz. #Boxoffice,” he wrote.
Previously, in an interaction with indianexpress.com, Amar Kaushik reacted to the film making waves at the theatres. He said, “I am very happy actually. I am very happy that the film is performing so well at the box office. I always had this one thing in my mind: numbers should not come by fluke whenever I make a film. For Stree 2, I wanted to make sure that people were not going to watch it only because they loved part one. It was important to me that people liked the film. I have always craved love from the reviewers as well as the audience.”
Stree 2 premiered on Independence Day (August 15). It clashed with Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa at the ticket window.
