Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor is set to continue her success with the highly anticipated sequel, Stree 2, which is scheduled for release on Independence Day. The film, a follow-up to the successful Stree, has already garnered significant excitement and positive pre-release buzz. Advance ticket sales have been impressive, with over 1 lakh tickets sold so far. This number is expected to rise, potentially surpassing 400,000 tickets before the film's release, highlighting strong audience interest.

In contrast, other Bollywood films such as Akshay Kumar’s Khel Khel Mein Pattumani and John Abraham’s Veda have struggled with advance sales. Khel Khel Mein Pattumani has seen only 10,000 tickets sold despite ongoing promotions, reflecting a decline in Kumar's recent market appeal. Although Veda shows slightly better performance, it still trails behind Stree 2. This shift underscores the current preference for content-driven films over star power alone.

Stree 2 also faces competition from South Indian cinema, with films like Double iSmart, Mr. Bachchan, and Thangalan vying for audience attention. Despite this, the strong advance bookings for Stree 2 indicate that it is resonating well with viewers, potentially setting a new benchmark for Bollywood film releases in terms of early sales.
