Stree 2, the Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor-starrer horror comedy, has went from milestone to milestone ever since its release at the domestic box office. The film not only made the audience laugh their heads off but also took the trade pundits by surprise.

Commenting on the film's box office performance, veteran film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh said: "It would be premature to predict the *lifetime biz* of Stree 2 has consistently surprised with phenomenal numbers day after day, week after week."

The film has crossed the Rs 600 crore days ahead of the release of Jr NTR-led epic action saga Devara: Part 1. The upcoming Jr NTR film has seen decent advance booking for its first day shows so far.

Devara sold a total of 27,024 tickets worth Rs 77.74 lakh excluding block seats and Rs 1.42 crore including block seats as of Monday, according to film trade portal Sacnilk. 

The film, also known as NTR30, also features Jr NTR in a double role. Furthermore, the film marks the debut of Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan in the Telugu film industry. 

Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2 is the sequel to the 2018 blockbuster horror comedy Stree. The film follows Vicky and his group of friends as they embark on a mission to rid the town of Chanderi from Sarkata's terror.

The horror comedy features Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana in significant roles. The film released in theatres worldwide on August 15 this year along with Akshay Kumar's Khel Khel Mein, John Abraham and Sharvari Wagh-starrer Vedaa and Chiyaan Vikram's Thangalaan.
