(Mumbai)The much-anticipated sequel to the 2018 horror-comedy hit, "Stree," is proving to be a major success at the Indian box office. The latest figures for "Stree 2" reveal that the film has continued its strong performance, with its fourth day collections significantly bolstering its total earnings. Directed by Amar Kaushik and featuring leads Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, the film has achieved an impressive ₹55 crore nett in India on Sunday, as reported by Sacnilk.com. This marks the film's second highest single-day collection to date.

The post also highlighted the net domestic collection of ₹145.8 crore at the end of the first three days, acknowledging the audience's support for the film.

"Stree 2" continues the story from the original, wherein the protagonists, who previously resolved the mystery of a vengeful female ghost, now confront a new supernatural threat in the form of a disembodied head known as Sarkata. The film extends the narrative of the horror-comedy universe created by producer Dinesh Vijan, which also includes popular titles like "Bhediya" and "Munjya."

The sequel also features performances from Abhishek Banerjee, Pankaj Tripathi, and Aparshakti Khurana, adding to the film’s ensemble appeal. As "Stree 2" heads towards the ₹200 crore mark, it solidifies its position as a significant player in the ongoing trend of successful horror-comedies in Indian cinema.
