Bollywood is at an all-time high in 2024 as three big films are giving tough competition to each other at the box office this Independence Day and Raksha Bandhan’s extended weekend. Stree 2, Khel Khel Mein and Vedaa was released on August 15, 2024, giving a wide range of options to moviegoers. However, Stree 2 have had preview night shows on Independence Day Eve, giving extra leverage over the other two. Let us find out which film is currently in the lead in terms of box office collections.
