New Delhi: Blockbuster horror comedy “Stree 2” has emerged as the first-ever Hindi film to cross the Rs 600 crore-mark at the domestic box office, the makers said on Monday.

According to production house Maddock Films, the movie has earned Rs 604.22 crore net at the ticket window in India since its August 15 release.

In an X post, the banner said “Stree 2”, directed by Amar Kaushik and penned by Niren Bhatt, has grossed Rs 713 crore at home.
