Shraddha Kapoor ‘Stree 2’ Release and Reviews Live Updates: ‘Stree 2’ starring Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana and Abhishek Bannerjee released in theatres on August 15, Independence Day. The preview screening of ‘Stree 2’ was also held on Wednesday and the audience in their reviews termed the film as a complete entertainment piece.
Stree 2’s box office collection is also breaking records and will only grow as the Independence Day weekend approaches. Stree 2 is expected to be the biggest box office opening of the year, with reports saying it could gross more than Rs 400 crore on its first day of release. According to industry research firm Sakhniruk, the film has already earned more than Rs 230 crore at the box office. The film will also enjoy the benefit of a long weekend after its release on Thursday, as the weekend will continue until Monday, the Raksha Bandhan holiday.
Stree, released in 2018, was a horror comedy that was loved by the audience. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film is set in the town of Chanderi, where a ghost abducts a man. The legend of Stree is so great that people write “O Stree Kal Aana” on the walls.
The sequel takes the story further and starts from the same place where the first film ended, but this time the locals of Chanderi team up with a mysterious character played by Shraddha Kapoor to face another ghost called ‘Sarkata’. Rajkumar, Aparshakti and Abhishek’s characters return to face the ghost, and are joined by Rudra played by Pankaj Tripathi.
Stree 2 will be releasing in competition with John Abraham-starrer Vedaa and Akshay Kumar-starrer Kel Kel Main, both of which have failed to create a buzz. Stree 2 will be banking on audience loyalty to become the biggest hit of the year and if all goes well, it may cross the Rs 100 crore mark at the box office within the first few days of release.
