Rajkummar Rao's much anticipated Stree has finally hit the big screens on August 31, 2018, and has been receiving positive reviews from critics and audience ever since. Looks like the Omerta actor's latest outing has won people’s hearts. Helmed by debutante Amar Kaushik, the film also stars Shraddha Kapoor and Pankaj Tripathi in pivotal roles. Speaking of box-office, Stree has opened to Rs 6.82 crores on day one and set cash registers ringing by raking in Rs 10.87 crore on day 2. Owing to the positive word of mouth, Rajkummar's film takes the weekend's grand total to 17.69 crore.

Now, according to Trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Stree has raked in Rs 13.57 crore on Sunday, taking the total box-office collection to Rs 31.26 crore. Just a few minutes ago, Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share the box-office numbers and wrote, "All estimations and calculations go for a toss... #Stree wreaks havoc at ticket counters... Multiplexes, single screens, metros, mass circuits - this one has worked across the board... Fri 6.82 cr, Sat 10.87 cr, Sun 13.57 cr. Total: ₹ 31.26 cr. India biz."

Written by Raj & DK, Stree is inspired by the "ridiculously true phenomenon" of Nale Ba. The film revolves around a vengeful female spirit, who haunts the streets of Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh during the days of the puja, preying on men. Stree is bankrolled by Dinesh Vijan, Krishna DK and Raj Nidimoru.

Latest reports suggest that Stree, that has an open ending, will have a sequel. Confirming the news, Producer Dinesh Vijan, while talking to DNA, had said, "The film’s last two shots actually set up the sequel. When you watch the movie, you will understand that we intentionally had an open ending," further adding, "Stree 2 will start off from there and explain those shots. We have written it as a franchise, so there will be a sequel. We are happy that the confidence in the content has paid off." Watch this space for further updates.
