Stree 2 review

The Hindustan Times review of Stree 2 goes, “Let’s talk about what fuels the film- the humour. Niren Bhatt keeps it in check; the first half is quite excellent. Jokes just keep coming and coming, and that is exactly what the viewers are looking for. Naughty, it is, and original. At a point, it isn’t the joke alone which lands.”. “It’s the sheer talented bunch who make Stree 2 what it is, led by an able Rajkummar Rao.”

On Stree 2

Helmed by Amar, Stree 2 features Rajkummar and Shraddha reprising their roles from the original. The story goes on to show how Sarkata now terrorizes the people of Chanderi, and they now look towards Stree for help. The film is also sprinkled with a number of starry cameos that the makers have carefully kept under wraps. Varun Dhawan reprises his role as Bhediya, even featuring in a song with Shraddha.

Stree 2 was facing stiff competition from Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu-starrer Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham, Sharvari-starrer Vedaa on its opening day itself. However, despite that, it did manage to hold its own and raked in good business at the box office.
