In his previous tweet, Taran Adarsh had predicted a growth in the film's business on Saturday. He also mentioned that the film's performance took a slight dip on Friday as it managed to collect merely Rs 4.39 crore. However, it "withstood opposition" from other Bollywood films like Laila Majnu and Paltan, which released on Friday.
#Stree withstands the opposition from new Hindi releases... Expected to witness big growth on Sat + Sun... Should cross 75 cr on Sun [Day 10]... [Week 2] Fri 4.39 cr. Total: 64.78 cr. India biz.

Stree opened to largely positive reviews. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his review for NDTV, gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote: "Stree plays an unwavering hand in demonstrating that dread can be unbridled fun when it serves a larger thematic purpose. Go watch this spine-tingling film. It is completely madcap but there is method in its manic madness."
Stree is a horror-comedy, directed by Amar Kaushik. The film is set against the backdrop of a small town named Chanderi. Apart from Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, Stree also features Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurrana, Vijay Raaz and Flora Saini.
