With an extended weekend until Monday, which is a holiday for Raksha Bandhan, it appears like Stree 2’s opening weekend collection will be historic. The makers had previously claimed that the film made Rs 76.5 crore gross on its first day.

Stree 2 is a part of the Dinesh Vijan’s horror-comedy universe. Starting with Stree in 2018, the film went on to add Janhvi Kapoor-starrer Roohi, Varun Dhawan-starrer Bhediya and Sharwari Wagh-starrer Munjya in its franchise. Stree 2 is the fifth film in the horror universe.
