The film, which released 34 days ago, has earned over ₹586 crore domestically, surpassing the lifetime collection of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan (₹582.31 crore).

In an earlier interview with News18, Rajkummar Rao expressed his joy over the overwhelming response Stree 2 received at the box office. “We were sure that the film would get a lot of love because of the love that Stree 1 got. There’s a big fan-following for Stree, including me. I am a huge fan of Stree myself. But these numbers are way above our expectations. We are glad and super elated. There’s a lot of gratitude that this is happening with a film like Stree, because it is a content-driven film,” the actor said.
