Stree 2 review
The Hindustan Times review of Stree 2 reads, “Let’s talk about what fuels the film- the humour. Niren Bhatt (story, screenplay, dialogue credits) keeps the pace in check, with the first half quite excellent. The jokes just don’t stop coming, and that’s exactly what the viewers are looking for. It’s naughty, it’s original. After 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.”
About Stree 2
Directed by Amar, Stree 2 sees Rajkummar and Shraddha reprise their roles from the original. The film tells the story of how Sarkata now terrorises the people of Chanderi and they now look to Stree for help. The film is also sprinkled with numerous starry cameos which the makers have carefully kept under wraps. Varun Dhawan reprises his role as Bhediya, even featuring in a song with Shraddha.
Stree 2 faced stiff competition from Akshay Kumar, Taapsee Pannu-starrer Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham, Sharvari-starrer Vedaa on its opening day. Still, the film managed to hold it own and bring in good business at the box office.
