'Stree 2' Teaser Review: How Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor will dominate the box-office this Independence Day
Agree or disagree but one of the biggest surprises of 2018 was Stree. It’s still the funniest and spookiest horror comedy in the genre that’s expanding but not for good. The town of Chanderi in that Amar Kaushik directorial brimmed with both fright and fragrance and became a central character to a story that still feels fresh. Six years later, the gang has returned and so has the shenanigans. The madness has doubled and so has the fun, and so has the spook, and so has the silliness. And Tamannaah Bhatia makes a surprising and stunning cameo.
This is about Stree 2. The sequel should hopefully set the bar higher and also the box-office. Shraddha Kapoor’s dreadful gazes and Rajkummar Rao’s antics are retained and so is the scene stealing trio of Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee.
Maddock Films’ Dinesh Vijan has struck a masterstroke. He shared that the teaser of the sequel would release directly in cinemas this with the horror-comedy Munjya , and not anywhere else.
About the sequel
