Mumbai: The entire team of the much-anticipated comedy-horror sequel ‘Stree 2’ gathered recently to celebrate its tremendous Box Office success. With lead actors Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao at the forefront, the event became a star-studded affair, marked with glitz and glamor. Nimrat Kaur and Anaita Shroff Adajania, among other industry insiders, shared snippets from the dazzling night on their social media profiles, giving fans a peek into the festivities.
Anaita Shroff Adajania, a prominent figure in the fashion industry, took to Instagram to share a series of pictures from the celebratory evening. Featuring Shraddha Kapoor and other prominent personalities, the photos captured the essence of joy that enveloped the event. Anaita’s heartfelt caption read, “Stepped out to celebrate the success of #Stree2. Let’s cheer them on!! Hugest congratulations to the team.”
The movie ‘Stree 2’ avoided a potential box office disaster by outclassing two other major releases, ‘Khel Khel Mein’ and ‘Vedaa’, which were also released on August 15. Despite the intense competition, ‘Stree 2’ has emerged as the audience’s favorite by a significant margin. Nimrat Kaur, who also attended the success party, shared exclusive inside photos and described the success as a personal victory. She wrote, “LOVE BOMBING RED ALERT.. #Stree2 has felt like a personal victory from the first day, first show I caught at the theatre. As a die-hard fan of this horror-comedy multiverse, here’s celebrating the loveliest, gorgeous super girl @shraddhakapoor, the forever perplexingly brilliant @rajkummar_rao, the man of the moment, director extraordinaire @amarkaushik, ethereally stunning @tamannaahspeaks, endlessly gifted @pankajtripathi ji, @nowitsabhi and @aparshakti_khurana and all the others whose blood, sweat, and tears have gone into making this mammoth success.”
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh also chimed in on the film’s remarkable performance, describing it as nothing short of a “storm” or “tsunami” that has taken over the Box Office. He tweeted, “Call it a STORM or a TSUNAMI or a TYPHOON… #Stree2 records a SENSATIONAL extended weekend… The two major #Hindi films released alongside it [#KhelKhelMein, #Vedaa] were severely impacted by the #Stree2 wave. #Stree2 has hit a DOUBLE CENTURY [Rs 200 crore NBOC] in just 4 days, a feat accomplished by only a select few #Hindi biggies in the past… A HISTORIC feat for a mid-sized film.”
The numbers speak volumes about the movie’s success.
. Taran detailed the film’s Box Office journey on X (formerly Twitter), noting, “Stree 2 hit the ball out of the stadium on Day 4 [Sunday], creating HAVOC by surpassing its Day 1 [Thursday] numbers [Independence Day]… It only goes to prove once again that a well-made desi entertainer will always be embraced by the audiences. Expect another big, fat total today [RakshaBandhan partial holiday]. [Week 1] Wed previews 9.40 cr, Thu 55.40 cr, Fri 35.30 cr, Sat 45.70 cr, Sun 58.20 cr. Total: Rs 204 cr. #India biz. #Boxoffice.”
Directed by Amar Kaushik, ‘Stree 2’ continues the narrative set by its predecessor, ‘Stree,’ which released in 2018 and was a massive hit. The sequel, which hit theaters on August 15, also features a special cameo by actor Varun Dhawan. The movie’s success is attributed to its compelling storyline, stellar performances, and an effective blend of humor and horror – a formula that evidently resonates well with the audience.
In addition to the leading duo Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, ‘Stree 2’ brings together a talented ensemble cast. The film features extraordinary performances by Tamannaah Bhatia, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana. The collective effort of this gifted team has undoubtedly contributed to the movie’s unprecedented success.
Nimrat Kaur’s uplifting message further emphasized the blood, sweat, and tears shed by the entire team in making ‘Stree 2’ a significant hit. She expressed her admiration for the director and producer of the film, stating, “Saving the last of all my love and appreciation for the daredevil, champion visionary, dearest Dinesh Vijan with a risk appetite and intuitive super power so rare to come by!! Congratulations @maddockfilms on creating history, shattering records!!! Here’s to many many more…”
As ‘Stree 2’ continues to receive accolades and break records, the film industry waits in anticipation to see the lasting impact this mid-sized film leaves on Bollywood. Adarsh’s words sum it up best: “It only goes to prove once again that a well-made desi entertainer will always be embraced by the audiences.” With the film’s success carved in history, the team, the audiences, and the critics alike are jubilant about what this film signifies for the future of Indian cinema.
