Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor in a still from Stree
Dinesh Vijan's horror comedy, Stree, has set a record breaking number on its first weekend. The film has seen a massive growth from Friday to Sunday and has garnered a sum total of 32.07 crore in the first three days!
The makers are even more elated since the entire weekend collection is pure profit, they had recovered the money pre release through other avenues such as music, digital and satellite.
The film had opened beyond expectations earning a surprising number of 6.82 crore on Friday itself. It had a great start with the morning shows and did even better with the evening shows. The film picked up on Day 2, with collections around Rs 10.87 crore. On Sunday, the film collected a total of 14.82 crores.
A visibly excited Dinesh Vijan says, "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!"
