News Mania Desk/Agnibeena Ghosh/14th August 2024
The excitement for “Stree 2,” the eagerly awaited sequel featuring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, is reaching new heights as advance bookings for the film surge. The anticipation for this horror-comedy has already ignited a frenzy among moviegoers, with ticket sales showing a remarkable start.
The advance booking trend for “Stree 2” is currently making waves in the film industry. According to prominent film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the film’s ticket sales are off to a sensational start. Adarsh shared on social media that the advance bookings for “Stree 2” are growing at an impressive rate, signaling a potential blockbuster opening. This surge in pre-sales suggests that the film is poised for a strong performance at the box office.
In contrast, advance bookings for other major releases scheduled for Independence Day, such as “Khel Khel Mein” and “Vedaa,” have been relatively slow. Despite this, there is optimism that these films might see an uptick in sales as their release dates approach.
Reports from Sacnilk.com reveal that “Stree 2” has already sold over 1 lakh tickets across the top three national cinema chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis. This impressive figure surpasses the advance bookings for high-profile films like Salman Khan’s “Tiger 3” and Ranbir Kapoor’s “Brahmastra,” which sold 72,000 and 65,000 tickets respectively in the same period.
The advance ticket sales for “Stree 2” are approaching figures seen for blockbuster films such as “Animal.” The latter set a new record with around 90,000 tickets sold in the top three chains before its release, eventually selling approximately 4.56 lakh tickets. With its current trajectory, “Stree 2” is on track to potentially surpass “Animal” in advance sales, highlighting the immense interest in the film.
Directed by Amar Kaushik, “Stree 2” continues the story from its successful predecessor, bringing back the engaging mix of horror and comedy that made the first film a hit. The film stars Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao in leading roles, supported by a strong ensemble cast including Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurrana, and Pankaj Tripathi.
The film’s release is scheduled for August 15, and it will be competing on the big screen with John Abraham’s “Vedaa” and Akshay Kumar’s “Khel Khel Mein.” The high anticipation for “Stree 2” indicates that it could dominate the box office and set new records in the genre.
As the release date draws closer, the buzz surrounding “Stree 2” continues to build, with fans eagerly awaiting its arrival. The impressive advance booking figures reflect the film’s strong potential for success and suggest a blockbuster opening is on the horizon.
