Stree 2 Box Office Collections India 5 Weeks: Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s horror-comedy emerges HIGHEST GROSSING Indian film in Hindi

Stree 2, directed by Amar Kaushik and starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao in the lead roles, has now emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film at the Hindi box office. The horror-comedy has dethroned Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan from the top position to attain the #1 spot in Hindi. 

Stree 2 Beats Jawan, Emerges The New Industry-Hit 

Bankrolled by Maddock Films, the much-loved horror-comedy is in no mood to slow down at the box office. After minting Rs 15 crore on its fifth weekend, the Amar Kaushik-directed movie added another Rs 8.35 crore to the tally to become the new Industry Hit. 

According to estimates, the movie collected around 1.50 crore on its 35th day, the fifth Thursday, winding down its fifth week phenomenally. The movie smashed the Hindi box office collection of Jawan during its dream theatrical run in 35 days, including previews, and currently stands at Rs 555.60 crore. 

Stree 2 Set For Another Spike On National Cinema Day 

Stree 2 is still holding its ground tight. It has maintained its position as the most preferred movie even after new releases in September—Thalapathy Is The Goat, Tumbbad (re-release), and The Buckingham Murders—at the Hindi box office. It will observe a massive spike on September 20, courtesy of National Cinema Day, when ticket prices will be slashed to Rs 99. 

As of 4 p.m., the Rajkummar-Shraddha movie had already sold more than 1.30 lakh tickets in the top three National chains—PVRInox and Cinepolis. Tomorrow, it is expected to record the biggest 6th Friday of all time at the Hindi box office. 

Stree 2 Heading For Rs 800 Crore Finish Worldwide 

Besides its historic theatrical run at the Hindi box office, the horror-comedy drama has performed very well in foreign locations. Reportedly, Stree 2 has breached the mark of USD 15 million in overseas locations and currently stands at USD 15.4 million.

While the movie targets a Hindi net box office collection of over Rs 575 crore, the final worldwide gross collection will be more than Rs 800 crore.

What is ‘awake craniotomy’ that helped Jr NTR’s fan to undergo brain surgery while watching his film

What is ‘awake craniotomy’ that helped Jr NTR’s fan to undergo brain surgery while watching his film

While being an actor or a public figure is not easy, there are a lot of perks to being a celebrity. Besides money and fame,  actors are often considered literally ‘gods’ by their fans and well-wishers. The love and admiration that they get from their audience is unbelievable. On a similar note, a rather surprising incident from Andhra Pradesh has surfaced where a patient watched Jr NTR’s film while undergoing brain surgery. Check out the pictures below!

As per a report in India Today, doctors of a government hospital performed serious brain surgery on a 55-year-old woman named Anantalakshmi. While she was being operated on, the medical professionals allowed her to watch superstar Jr NTR’s film, Adhurs, on a tablet. As a result, she felt comfortable and the two-and-a-half-hour procedure went smoothly.

For the unversed, this unique approach is called ‘awake craniotomy’. This allows the patient to remain conscious and engaged throughout the complex medical procedure. In medical terms, an awake craniotomy, also called awake brain surgery, is a brain surgery procedure performed while the patient is awake and conscious. Although it was originally used to treat epilepsy, the procedure is often used to remove brain tumors.

During an awake brain surgery, the patient is fully awake and can even communicate with the surgical team. This helps the surgeon to avoid damaging areas of the brain that control critical functions. Awake craniotomy allows the surgeon to test the brain before any significant move and to monitor the patient’s function throughout the surgery. 

Coming back to Anantalakshmi, the A Kothapalli resident was diagnosed with a brain tumor after she complained of symptoms like numbness in her limbs and persistent headaches. The woman was diagnosed with a 3.3 x 2.7 cm tumor on the left side of her brain. She opted for a government hospital due to expensive treatment costs at private hospitals. At present, the doctors have successfully removed the tumor while ensuring the patient’s comfort.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Jr NTR has collaborated with filmmaker Siva Kortala for his upcoming movie Devara: Part 1. Apart from the RRR actor, the film will feature Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor. The Jr NTR starrer is scheduled to hit the silver screen on September 27, 2024.
