Kaushik first expressed interest in developing a sequel to Stree in October 2018. By February 2022, Rao confirmed that the project was in development; however, original writers and producers Raj & DK were no longer involved, having parted ways with producer Dinesh Vijan over disputes regarding the rights to the franchise. As a result, Bhatt took over as the writer. The sequel was officially announced by Vijan and Jyoti Deshpande in April 2023. Principal photography began in July of the same year, primarily taking place in Chanderi and Bihar, and concluded by mid-2024. The film features a musical score composed by Sachin–Jigar, with additional scoring by Justin Varghese. Cinematography was conducted by Jishnu Bhattacharjee, and the editing was handled by Hemanti Sarkar.

Stree 2 was theatrically released worldwide on 15 August 2024 and received positive reviews from critics. The film has grossed over ₹784 crore at the box office, emerging as the second highest-grossing Indian film of 2024, the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2024 the seventh highest-grossing Hindi film of all time, and the eleventh highest-grossing Indian film.[6][8]

Plot

The film opens with the ending scene of the previous instalment, where Stree is about to re-enter Chanderi. She notices a statue of herself at the town entrance with the inscription, "o stree raksha karna" (oh woman protect us), and chooses to leave. Years later, Chanderi faces a new threat: a headless ghost named "Sarkata", who abducts women at night and drags them into a nightmarish alternate dimension. The townspeople, unaware of the ghost's presence, mistakenly believe the missing women have left for better prospects. Vicky, still in love with the Girl with No Name, credited as "She", frequently imagines her appearing before him. Meanwhile, Rudra receives an anonymous letter containing missing pages from the Chanderi Puran and a cryptic message: "vo aayega" (he will come).

One night, Bittu's girlfriend, Chitti, is taken by Sarkata. A stoner beggar who witnessed the abduction confirms the ghost's existence. Vicky, Bittu, and Rudra investigate the torn pages of the Chanderi Puran and discover Sarkata's origin. They find out that Sarkata is the vengeful spirit of Chandrabhan, a former village head who murdered Stree, a courtesan, by beheading her husband and burning her alive. After Stree's departure from Chanderi, Sarkata has returned to target progressive women. Realising they need Stree's help to defeat Sarkata, the friends seek out Jana in Delhi, who was once possessed by Stree.

Jana, living with his cousin Bhaskar, is lured back to Chanderi under the pretext of a stage play by them (scene from Bhediya), but when he discovers the real reason, he reluctantly agrees to assist. While searching for Stree at the old fort, Sarkata attacks and nearly kills Jana, who experiences visions of the alternate dimension where the abducted women are held captive. Believing Jana to be dead, the group is shocked when he revives, and they narrowly escape the fort with Sarkata in pursuit. As Sarkata terrorises the town, She reappears and saves the group by fighting Sarkata using the powers of Stree's braid attached to her hair. The town's women, living in fear, blame Vicky for defeating Stree, which they believe led to Sarkata's emergence.

They pressure Vicky to take responsibility for the new threat, and She convinces him that his pure soul makes him the right person for the task. She gives Vicky a magical dagger and instructs him to use it to cut Sarkata's head in half. To trap Sarkata, the group organises a dance performance by Shama, Rudra's girlfriend. During the performance, Sarkata appears, but Vicky fails to decapitate him. Sarkata then possesses all the men present, except for Vicky, Rudra, and Jana. Sarkata subsequently abducts Shama, and the possessed men, including Bittu, begin controlling the town's women.

Desperate for a solution, the group follows a clue from the anonymous letter to a mental asylum, where they meet a descendant of Sarkata. The man reveals that Sarkata can only be defeated by a being that is "half of both"—neither fully man nor woman, human nor animal. With this knowledge, She merges her body with Vicky's, creating a being capable of entering Sarkata's lair. Inside the lair, Vicky and She confront Sarkata. Vicky cuts Sarkata's head in half with the magical dagger, but each severed head regenerates into multiple new heads. As they are overwhelmed, Bhaskar arrives in his werewolf form and attacks Sarkata.

However, the battle becomes dire when Sarkata reattaches his head and overpowers Bhaskar. In a final attempt, She calls out to her mother, who is revealed to be Stree. Stree arrives and, with Vicky's help, defeats Sarkata by beheading him again and dragging his body into the lava, destroying him for good. After Sarkata's defeat, the women are freed, and the men are released from the ghost's control. Vicky and his friends are celebrated as heroes. She reveals that she is a ghost and must leave, but not before whispering her name to Vicky.

In the woods, Bhaskar, now human, receives clothes from Jana (scene from Munjya) and asks Jana to set him up with She, to which he declines, but Bhaskar continues to plead. In a mid-credits scene, a mysterious pot containing Sarkata's remains reaches the mental institution, where his descendant inhales the flaming smoke from the remains and becomes possessed by the monster, hinting at the return of the terror.

Reception

Critical response

Stree 2 received positive reviews from critics.[46] On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 67% of 12 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.3/10.[47]

A critic for Bollywood Hungama rated the film 4.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Stree 2 marks the birth of a successful franchise and is laced with humour and horror in ample doses."[48] Simran Khan of Times Now awarded the film 4 out of 5 stars, describing it as a “well-packaged entertainer.” She commended Rao's standout performance and praised Kapoor and Tripathi as well. While she noted a few flaws, such as a predictable climax, she emphasized that the film effectively balances horror and comedy, making it an entertaining watch that will appeal to fans of the genre.[49] Abhishek Srivastava of The Times of India also rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, calling it “a headless wonder that’s got humour in spades.” He highlighted the film's clever script, which builds on the charm of its predecessor by introducing a male villain, Sarkata, who targets modern women. Although the second half suffers from pacing issues and some underwhelming character moments, Srivastava found that the film ultimately delivers an entertaining experience in the horror-comedy genre.[50]

Tushar Joshi of India Today rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars, noting that “Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor’s multiverse of madness is entertaining.” He praised the film's humorous and thrilling continuation of the franchise, emphasizing its clever script and improved visual effects. However, Joshi pointed out that the film struggles with pacing and coherence in its multiverse crossover, though it shines due to strong performances, particularly from Rao and a surprising cameo by Akshay Kumar.[51] Rishabh Suri of the Hindustan Times praised the sequel for its improvement from the predecessor, commenting that “Rajkummar Rao leads a sequel that’s better than the original; Abhishek Banerjee is the highlight.” Suri noted that the film skillfully blends humor with commentary on societal issues, particularly regarding women grappling with patriarchal constraints. He highlighted sharp dialogue and standout performances, especially from Rao and Banerjee, while also praising Bhatia's notable entry.[52] Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com rated 3/5 stars and notes "Original's goodwill, natural bonhomie amongst the actors and wild card entries, Stree 2's spirited return sure has its high points."[53]

Shilajit Mitra of The Hindu provided a more mixed review, remarking that “Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, and gang deliver the laughs, but not much else.” He noted that while the film retains the charm of its predecessor, it feels like a factory-made sequel, losing some of the original's nuanced commentary on patriarchy amidst a convoluted plot. Although Rao's performance as Vicky is delightful, Mitra critiqued the film's over-reliance on franchise complexity, which he felt diminished the fresh edge that made the first instalment resonate.[54]

Pratiksha Mishra of The Quint criticized the film's visual effects, arguing that they make the antagonist, Sarkata, appear less menacing and more cartoonish. Mishra stated that this undermines the intended horror and seriousness of the character's toxic masculinity, diminishing the film's overall scare factor compared to the original, despite the sequel's attempt to heighten the horror by changing the antagonist's gender.[55] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV India offered a similar perspective, giving the film 2.5 out of 5 stars. He remarked that “Shraddha Kapoor’s film is bemusing rather than petrifying,” noting that the film attempts to build on the success of its predecessor with a mix of comedy and supernatural elements but ultimately falls short due to its repetitive plot and lack of genuine scares. Chatterjee acknowledged the commendable performances but criticized the film's reliance on predictable humor and outdated portrayals, which he felt left the film feeling stale despite moments of creativity.[56]

Box office

Stree 2 grossed ₹9.40 crore from paid previews in select theatres the day before its release, breaking the previous record held by Chennai Express. Released alongside Vedaa and Khel Khel Mein on Independence day, the film went on to gross ₹64.80 crore, marking the second-highest opening day for a Hindi film, behind only Jawan (2023).[57][58] It became the highest opening day of Rao's career and the second-highest of Kapoor's, behind only Saaho (2019).[59]

Stree 2 surpassed Fighter to become the highest-opening Hindi film of the year. It also exceeded the opening day collections of the Hindi version of the Telugu film Kalki 2898 AD. Additionally, the film achieved the second-highest opening for a Bollywood film, trailing only Jawan, and grossed $8.9 million on its first day.[7]

Outside of India, the film debuted within the United States domestic top 10 chart with an opening gross of $2.57 million.[60]

As of 11 September 2024, the film grossed ₹662.67 crore in India and ₹121.71 crore internationally, for a total worldwide gross of ₹784.38 crore.[6] This made it the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2024, surpassing Fighter, seventh-highest-grossing Hindi film, eleventh-highest-grossing Indian film, the sixth-highest-grossing film in the domestic market and the highest-grossing of both Rao and Kapoor's careers.
