“Stree 2”: The Highly Anticipated Sequel
The original “Stree” was a surprise hit, earning critical acclaim and becoming a commercial success. The movie’s unique blend of horror and comedy, along with its strong performances and engaging storyline, struck a chord with audiences. Seeking protection from Sarkata (headless monster) and drawing from the prequel comes Shraddha Kapoor, who presumably was the evil spirit in the prequel of the film. The people of Chanderi pray to Stree this time, “O stree raksha karna”, instead of telling her, “O stree kal aana”. The sequel aims to build on the success of the first instalment and deliver an equally entertaining experience.
