Maddock Films and Jio Studios produced the supernatural horror film Stree 2, while Marflix and Viacom 18 Studios produced the action thriller Fighter.
Stree 2 witnessed the biggest and widest overseas release in the horror-comedy genre, as it was released in over 75 countries and screened at more than 1,250 locations on over 1,600 screens, according to film trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
In another social media post on X (formerly Twitter), the trade analyst stated, “The #Stree2 juggernaut has impacted the biz of *all* films, including #Vedaa… Despite the big #IndependenceDay holiday, #Vedaa struggled to post a healthy score on Day 1, attracting some patronage primarily in mass markets.”
He added, “The only silver lining for #Vedaa is that it secured the second spot among moviegoers, trailing #Stree2, but ahead of #KhelKhelMein.”
