One user wrote on X, "Cameos were clap worthy and storyline is great. The ending is a mini assemble of supernatural universe characters. And yes we are gonna see a standalone movie of Akshay Kumar."
"I believe Akshay Kumar deserves recognition for his role in Stree 2. His performance is more powerful and entertaining than in Khel Khel Main. Finally, Akshay Kumar is set for a hit, and I hope this film joins the 300-crore club!" added another.
Interestingly, âStree 2' clashes with Akshay's film âKhel Khel Mein' which also stars Vaani Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Ammy Virk, Aditya Seal, and Taapsee Pannu.
Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao's latest release âStree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank' extends the narrative of its predecessor with a masterful blend of folklore, humour, and horror, delivering a sequel that is both thrilling and entertaining.
Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film builds upon the successful formula of the original while exploring new dimensions of its eerie universe and surpassing the first one, in every way possible.
'Stree' was released in 2018 and was declared a hit. 'Oo Stree Kal Aana', a phrase from the movie, has been repeatedly used in memes. The film's music also gained significant attention with tracks like 'Milegi Milegi' and 'Aao Kabhi Haveli Pe'.
The storyline of âStree 2' picks up in the haunted town of Chanderi, where the malevolent spirit known as Sarkata wreaks havoc. Unlike the previous film, which featured a ghost targeting men, this installment focuses on a sinister entity that preys on modern, empowered women.
The narrative revolves around Bicky (Rajkummar Rao), Bitu (Aparshakti Khurana), JD (Abhishek Banerjee), and Rudra (Pankaj Tripathi) as they join forces with the enigmatic Stree to protect their village from Sarkata's deadly pursuit.
Other cameos feature Tamannaah Bhatia and Varun Dhawan.
