The film also features surprise cameos, including varun dhawan as Bhediya, in a special song with Shraddha Kapoor.
Advance bookings were robust, with 392,000 tickets sold on the first day at national multiplexes, surpassing many major bollywood releases. The film maintained a 75.09 percent occupancy rate on its opening day, highlighting the enduring appeal of horror-comedies.
Critically, stree 2 has been well-received, earning a 3.5/5 rating from News18 Showsha. The performances of Shraddha Kapoor and rajkummar rao have been particularly praised, with Rao’s versatility and Kapoor’s action scenes standing out, although some fans wished for more screen time for Kapoor.
