Box Office - Prabhas' Record Shattered by this Bollywood movie!
With big movies like Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Maidaan, chandu Champion, and Sarfira underwhelming, Bollywood's box office has had a difficult year. fighter was the only movie to break the 200-crore barrier, and even that one only made an average run. In the meantime, hollywood blockbusters and South indian movies like Hanu Man and kalki 2898 AD have been the cinemas' saviors this year.
With a first-day revenue of 22 crores, kalki 2898 AD in particular became the highest hindi opening of 2024. fighter came in second place with 21 crores. As it appeared that bollywood would not make a comeback this year, stree 2 with rajkummar rao and Shraddha Kapoor—two gifted performers who aren't usually thought of as box office heavyweights—arribes. Now, as per initial trends, the movie has already broken Prabhas' record.
Massive buzz is already being created by stree 2. Although early estimates were for a 25 crore first day gross, the way advance bookings are going, the movie seems set to comfortably surpass 35 crores and could even reach 40 crores net on opening day. The opening day total may surpass 50 crores net opening if the paid previews are taken into account. Only a select few movies, like Jawan, Pathaan, WAR, Thugs of Hindostan, and Animal, have achieved this milestone. However, stree 2 is a medium-budget release, in contrast to previous high-budget event movies.
