In another tweet, Taran Adarsh mentioned that despite being a non-holiday release, Stree managed to perform well at the box office and that a major portion of its success could be attributed to its content. "Timing the release of a movie during festivals / holidays does not guarantee success... Deliver qualitative content and non-holidays will turn into a festival for investors," read an excerpt from his tweet.

The film opened to largely positive reviews. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote: Stree plays an unwavering hand in demonstrating that dread can be unbridled fun when it serves a larger thematic purpose. Go watch this spine-tingling film. It is completely madcap but there is method in its manic madness."
Stree is a horror-comedy directed by Amar Kaushik. The film also features Rajkummar Rao, Aparshakti Khurrana, Pankaj Tripathi and Vijay Raaz.
Meanwhile, Dharmendra's Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se, which also opened in theaters on Friday, has managed to collect merely Rs 6.25 crore as of now, reported Box Office India.
