The horror-comedy Stree 2, starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has become an all-time blockbuster. Despite experiencing its lowest collection day on the 40th day of release (Monday), it has amassed ₹579 crore in total.
The film is now just ₹3.31 crore short of surpassing Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan's Hindi record (₹582.31cr). However, it still ranks fifth among Indian cinema's biggest hits with Jawan leading at ₹640.25 crore (all languages).
