The film has exceeded the lifetime business of the Hindi version of 2023's Jawan, which till now held the title of the highest grossing Hindi film at the Indian box office. The Shah Rukh Khan-starrer had earned Rs 582 crore in India after its release in September last year, reported trade website Sacnilk.

As written by Niren Bhatt, Stree 2 follows Rao's Vicky and his friends along with the mysterious woman, portrayed by Kapoor, this time against a new threat in the form of a decapitated ghost suitably named Sarkata.

Stree 2, an up-and-down the line sequel to 2018's Stree, is a part of producer Dinesh Vijan's bold horror comedy universe that also puts down Bhediya and Munjya.
