The Mumbai circuit remains one of the most critical benchmarks for Hindi films, and though Stree 2 is performing well, it will likely conclude its run at ₹155 crore net.
While this is the second-highest total ever in the region, it fell short of the coveted ₹200 crore mark which looked achievable at one point in time.

The long-standing Bahubali record seems unbreakable by any Hindi film in the near future. If any film stands a chance, it’s Pushpa 2 (Hindi).
If Pushpa 2 fails, no Bollywood film in the next few years appears capable of dethroning Bahubali for years, unless an unexpected South Indian blockbuster emerges.
