The horror-comedy film *Stree 2*, directed by Amar Kaushik and starring Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao, has taken the Indian box office by storm since its release on August 15, 2024. As of Day 4, the film has amassed an impressive ₹190.55 crore, inching closer to the coveted ₹200 crore mark. This blog delves into the film's box office performance, the star-studded cast, and the competitive landscape it navigated during its release.

Box Office Performance

*Stree 2* had a remarkable start, grossing ₹8.5 crore from special preview shows on its opening day, followed by ₹76.5 crore on its first full day of release. The momentum continued into the second day with an additional ₹30 crore, bringing its total to over ₹100 crore within just two days. By Day 4, the film added another ₹55 crore, showcasing its strong hold on audiences and solidifying its status as a box office hit.

The film's success can be attributed to several factors, including positive word-of-mouth, an engaging storyline, and the nostalgia associated with its predecessor, *Stree* (2018). The film's unique blend of horror and comedy has resonated well with audiences, making it a must-watch this season.

 Star-Studded Cast and Cameos

The film features a talented ensemble cast, including:

- **Shraddha Kapoor** as the titular character, reprising her role from the original film.

- **Rajkummar Rao** returns as Vicky, the male lead, bringing his signature charm and comedic timing to the role.

- **Pankaj Tripathi**, **Aparshakti Khurana**, and **Abhishek Banerjee** also reprise their roles, adding depth to the narrative.

In addition to the main cast, *Stree 2* includes surprise cameos from Bollywood heavyweights such as **Akshay Kumar**, **Tamannaah Bhatia**, and **Varun Dhawan**. Akshay Kumar's character, a humorous and delusional descendant of a historical figure, has garnered particular attention for its comedic flair, while Varun Dhawan reprises his role from *Bhediya*, further linking the film to the broader Maddock Supernatural Universe.

 Competing Films

Despite facing competition from other releases like John Abraham's *Vedaa* and Akshay Kumar's *Khel Khel Mein*, which struggled to make a significant impact at the box office, *Stree 2* has managed to dominate the charts. *Vedaa* collected only ₹6.52 crore, while *Khel Khel Mein* garnered a mere ₹5 crore in its opening weekend. This underperformance highlights *Stree 2*'s strong appeal and the effectiveness of its marketing campaign.

 The Maddock Supernatural Universe

*Stree 2* is part of the Maddock Supernatural Universe, which began with the original *Stree* in 2018. This universe has expanded to include films like *Roohi*, *Bhediya*, and *Munjya*. Each film contributes to a shared narrative, allowing for crossovers and interconnected storylines that fans have come to appreciate. The success of *Stree 2* not only reinforces the popularity of this universe but also sets a new standard for horror-comedies in Indian cinema.

 Audience Reception and Critical Acclaim

The film has received positive reviews from both audiences and critics, reflected in its IMDb rating of 8.0/10 and a 93% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Viewers have praised the film for its engaging plot, well-timed humour, and strong performances from the cast. The combination of horror elements with comedic undertones has created a unique cinematic experience that appeals to a wide range of audiences.

 Conclusion

As *Stree 2* continues its impressive run at the box office, it is clear that the film has struck a chord with audiences. With its engaging storyline, stellar performances, and surprise cameos, it has not only entertained but also set the stage for future installments in the Maddock Supernatural Universe. As it inches closer to the ₹200 crore mark, *Stree 2* stands as a testament to the growing trend of successful horror-comedies in Indian cinema, blending scares and laughs in a way that captivates viewers.
