The latest box office figures reveal that the horror-comedy sequel starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao remains the top choice for audiences, outperforming John Abraham's Vedaa and Akshay Kumar's comedy film. Here’s a detailed look at their performances.

Featuring Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkumar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee, Stree 2 has emerged as the frontrunner in this Independence Day clash.

Sacnilk reports that Stree 2 earned approximately Rs 31.4 crore on its second day (Friday) and Rs 44 crore on its third day (Saturday). This brings the total estimated collection to Rs 151.9 crore within just three days.

Directed by Nikkhil Advani and inspired by true events, Vedaa stars John Abraham and Sharvari alongside Abhishek Banerjee, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Ashish Vidyarthi in key roles. Despite facing stiff competition from Stree 2, the action-drama has managed to generate some buzz.

Sacnilk indicates that Vedaa opened with a collection of Rs 6.3 crore but saw a decline on Friday with earnings of around Rs 1.8 crore. On its first Saturday, it garnered an estimated Rs 2.40 crore. The total three-day collection is now around Rs 10.50 crore.

Khel Khel Mein Box Office Collection Day 3

Mudassar Aziz's Khel Khel Mein features an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu, Vaani Kapoor, Ammy Virk, Fardeen Khan, Aditya Seal, and Pragya Jaiswal. This comedy-entertainer is a Hindi remake of the Italian comedy-drama 'Perfect Strangers' from 2016.
