Rajkummar Rao starrer Stree earned Rs 6.37 crore on Tuesday, taking the total collection to Rs 48.34 crore. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh has termed the film a superhit, despite facing a competition from Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se. The horror comedy has been able to strike a chord with the audience and it seems the film is here to stay. In a series of tweets, Taran mentioned, “#Stree is SENSATIONAL… Has cast a spell at the BO… Day 5 [Tue] – working day – was the true test for #Stree… ROCK-SOLID biz on Day 5 proves it’s not in a mood to slow down… Fri 6.83 cr, Sat 10.87 cr, Sun 14.57 cr, Mon 9.70 cr, Tue 6.37 cr. Total: ₹ 48.34 cr. India biz.” “#Stree will cruise past ₹ 50 cr mark today [Day 6; Wed]… Trending is better than #SKTKS [Week 1: ₹ 45.94 cr] and #Raazi [Week 1: ₹ 56.59 cr]… Will it breach ₹ 100 cr mark? Depends on how it fares in Week 2… It’s a wait-and-watch situation right now,” he added. Not just in India, the film is doing well abroad too. Taran shared figures of Stree’s overseas business. He shared, “#Stree has won over audiences in desh as well as videsh… Let’s compare it with Rajkummar Rao’s previous movies in Australia…#BareillyKiBarfi *lifetime biz* A$ 60,767. #FanneyKhan *lifetime biz* A$ 58,673. #Stree *weekend + Mon biz* A$ 63,353… Crossed *lifetime biz* @comScore” The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta mentioned in her review, “Shraddha Kapoor’s part is a bit risible, but she has some breathy moments with Rajkummar Rao. Rao, whose Bicky seems like an extension of his Bareilly Ki Barfi avatar, carries the film.” Stree, produced by Dinesh Vijan, was written by filmmakers Krishna DK and Raj Nidimoru. The movie also stars Aparshakti Khurrana and Abhishek Banerjee.<doc-sep>Good content leading to positive word-of-mouth can transform the fate of a movie overnight. Something similar has happened with Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor's latest horror-comedy, Stree. Stree has been performing consistently well since its release last Friday and made Rs 6.37 crore on Tuesday. Stree's performance over the weekend was very strong as well. After making Rs 6.83 crore on its opening day followed by Rs 10.87 crore on Saturday, Rs 14.57 crore on Sunday, Rs 9.70 crore on Monday and its Tuesday collections, Stree's collection as of now stands at Rs 48.34 crore. The movie has completely decimated its competition Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se featuring the Deols and with cameos from the likes of Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha. As mentioned in a report in ANI, Shraddha Kapoor said she is overwhelmed by the response to Stree. "I have been reading all the messages about Stree from my close friends, family, and my lovely fans. The response is overwhelming, to say the least. I am extremely grateful to my director, producers, and writers for making me a part of this amazing film," Kapoor said. The movie has been praised by audiences and critics alike for treating a tricky genre like horror-comedy right. While there have been box office hits such as Golmaal Again in the genre, the last memorable horror-comedy to have garnered praises from every sphere was Vidya Balan-Akshay Kumar starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa. As evinced from earlier films, projects with no established A-lister could go either way once it hits the silver screen. But increasingly more and more small-budget movies with good content have been winning at the box office. Two of the most recent examples are Alia Bhatt-Vicky Kaushal's Raazi and Kartik Aaryan-Nushrat Bharucha starrer Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. To put it in perspective, Raazi made Rs 56.59 crore in its first week, while SKTKS made Rs 45.94. Stree has already overtaken the latter and is vying to dethrone Raazi. Similar instances have been movies like Bareilly Ki Barfi, Newton, Raman Raghav 2.0 and the likes. Stree is inspired by the folk legend of Nale Ba, in which a female spirit roams around haunting unsuspecting men. Stree also features Pankaj Tripathi and Aparshakti Khurana.

Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se box office collection Day 5: The Dharmendra starrer failed to entertain. Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se was expected to do well at the box office, following the buzz around the film during its release week. However, the results have shocked trade analysts who had expected a good business from this film. The film that brings together Dharmendra, Bobby Deol and Sunny Deol is struggling at the box office. According to Bollywood Hungama, The Navniat Singh directorial has earned Rs 7.57 crore so far. The film is struggling despite having a wide reach in comparison to Stree, which has been performing extremely well at the box office. The Indian Express critic Shubhra Gupta mentioned in her review, “The jokes are so lame that they are practically invisible. How you wish the film was too. The tired schtick of ‘dhai kilo ka haath’ becomes ‘paanch kilo’ when the dialogue shifts to Dharmendra. He plays a pesky tenant, always in the company of two ghostly women. Or should I say ghastly? The house is owned by Pooran and Kaala (Sunny and Bobby respectively): the former is an Ayurveda vaid, a whiz who can cure all ailments, including a girl who cannot see, just by looking at them; the latter is a bumbler. That’s his only job. Sinha shows up as a stentorian judge. He bellows. A priceless Ayurveda formula is up for grabs, and the cast mills about, one half trying to grab it, the other trying to retrieve it.”<doc-sep>

Debutant director Amar Kaushik’s horror comedy Stree is faring well at the box office. With a total collection of Rs 54.89 crore within just six days, Stree, starring Rajkummar Rao, Aparshakti Khurrana, Shraddha Kapoor and Pankaj Tripathi, has almost demolished its competition Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se at the box office. Sharing the latest box office figures of Stree on Twitter, trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote, “#Stree is SUPER-STRONG on Day 6… Wed biz is HIGHER than Tue and almost at par with Fri… Truly UNSTOPPABLE… Fri 6.83 cr, Sat 10.87 cr, Sun 14.57 cr, Mon 9.70 cr, Tue 6.37 cr, Wed 6.55 cr. Total: ₹ 54.89 cr. India biz.” Talking about the success of Stree, producer Dinesh Vijan said, “We expected to open well as the entire campaign got a fantastic response and we were confident that the audiences would love the film. But this kind of love and appreciation is overwhelming. This year has been super for the industry and I am elated that Stree could be part of it.” #Stree is SUPER-STRONG on Day 6… Wed biz is HIGHER than Tue and almost at par with Fri… Truly UNSTOPPABLE… Fri 6.83 cr, Sat 10.87 cr, Sun 14.57 cr, Mon 9.70 cr, Tue 6.37 cr, Wed 6.55 cr. Total: ₹ 54.89 cr. India biz. — taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) September 6, 2018 Both the audience and critics have been heaping praise on Stree. Giving it 2.5 stars, Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta in her review of Stree wrote, “Stree is enjoyable for the most part. I particularly liked its cheerfully hare-brained spirit, which the director manages to sustain. Shraddha Kapoor’s part is a bit risible, but she has some breathy moments with Rajkummar Rao. The three fellows feel like real friends, not just brought together by a casting director, and both Aparshakti Khurana, who is sprouting from everywhere these days, and Abhishek Banerjee do a good job of looking scared and foolish at the same time. Rao, whose Bicky seems like an extension of his Bareilly Ki Barfi avatar, carries the film: as a ‘ladies tailor’ whose eye is enough to take the measure of the woman in front of him, gently, he is terrific.”
