Stree 2 has quickly become the biggest hit of 2024 so far. The horror comedy, which hit theatres on August 15, is poised to join the 300 crore club within just ten days of its release. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film features a stellar cast including Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Apar Shakti Khurana. It has received high praise from both critics and audiences for its blend of humour and horror. As a sequel to the 2018 film Stree, it continues the story with a fresh twist. Many celebrities have already lauded the film, and actor Sunny Deol has also shared his enthusiastic reaction to the performances of Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor.
Sunny Deol took to his Instagram story to congratulate the team behind Stree 2 for their impressive success, noting that they have brought back a wave of box office success this monsoon season. On his Instagram, the Gadar 2 actor wrote, "Congratulations to team #stree2 for bringing heavy monsoons to the box office and cheers to exhibitors. Keep going." The film made over Rs. 64 crore on its opening day and has accumulated Rs. 290 crore in India to date. Despite being released alongside other films (Khel Khel Mein, Vedaa, and Double iSmart) on Independence Day 2024, Stree 2 has stood out in terms of its box office performance.
A few days ago, Karan Johar took to Instagram to enthusiastically praise Stree 2, calling it a "Juggernaut Mega Blockbuster Success." In his detailed post, he highlighted that the film's massive success reaffirms the power of solid storytelling and authentic content. He noted that the movie's blend of humour, boldness, and strong conceptual focus, along with its deep connection with the audience, has proven to be highly rewarding at the box office.
