The success of this week's The Nun and the continued growth of last week's Stree proves that horror films are here to stay. Director Amar Kaushik's first feature film (he has directed a few short films before) is "heading towards blockbuster status," tweeted film critic Taran Adarsh on Monday. After the second weekend, Stree's total collection stands at Rs 82.29 crore. Speaking about the film's performance at the ticket window, Taran Adarsh said: "There's no stopping this one. Stree continues its dream run (and) overpowers all new Hindi releases by a huge margin. En route Rs 100 cr club." This week, Stree battled JP Dutta's Paltan, Sajid Ali's Laila Majnu and Manoj Bajpayee's Gali Guleiyan.
Here's the weekend-wise break-up of Stree's box office collection:
This week, Hollywood film The Nun collected maximum money at the ticket window outperforming Paltan and Laila Majnu. The Nun is the spin-off of 2016's The Conjuring 2.
Stree, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, is based on a urban legend, in which a ghost (named Stree by the villagers) is suspected to be behind the mysterious disappearances of the men. The film also stars Aparshakti Khurrana and Pankaj Tripathi in pivotal roles.
Stree also opened to fabulous reviews last week with film critic Saibal Chatterjee giving it 3.5 star rating. "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," he wrote in his review for NDTV.
