Also starring Aparshakti Khurrana and Pankaj Tripathi, Stree is based on the age-old legend of Nale Ba and is set in Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh. The film is being lauded for its secular and feminist undertones and its treatment of the horror genre. Stree currently faces competition from Anurag Kashyap’s recently released Manmarziyaan .

After recording a low Day 1, Manmarizyaan bounced back and raked in Rs 5.11 crore on its second day. Its two-day earnings now stand at Rs 8.63 crore.

#Manmarziyaan witnesses a healthy 45.17% growth on Day 2, although after a low Day 1, the jump in biz should’ve been higher... North circuits are performing better... Fri 3.52 cr, Sat 5.11 cr. Total: ₹ 8.63 cr. India biz.
