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 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.
