Chanderi is facing another formidable foe, and Vicky will have to be their savior once again! Yes, Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor’s horror-comedy Stree 2’s official trailer is finally here. It is twice the horror, and this time, it is not a woman who is terrorizing the people but a man. Scroll below for the deets.

For the uninitiated, the first movie was released in 2018 and marked the beginning of Maddock Supernatural Universe. It had the perfect blend of horror and comedy. The story was based on the urban legend Nale Ba and ended on an interesting cliffhanger. A few questions arose in the viewers’ minds, but they will all be answered in the sequel soon.

After a long wait of six years, Stree 2 will be arriving at the theatres in August this year. The much-awaited trailer was released on Thursday, July 18. Filmmaker Amar Kaushik returned to direct the sequel, and the trailer is already packed with chilling horrors.

Thoughts on the Stree 2 trailer-

A few days ago, the makers released the first teaser of the upcoming movie, where we saw that the entire gang has united again against a common foe, but further details were revealed about the sequel in the trailer. This time, Vicky and others will rid the town of a headless ghost who killed Stree in the first place. After Rajkummar Rao, Abhishek Banerjee, Pankaj Tripathi, and Aparshakti Khurana’s characters defeated her with Shraddha Kapoor’s unnamed character, this headless ghost cuts loose and takes the girls captive.

The former cast has reunited, and it includes Pankaj Tripathi as Rudra Bhaiyaa, Abhishek Banerjee as Jana, Aparshakti Khurana as Bittu, and Shraddha Kapoor as the Girl with no name. According to reports, other stars from Maddock Supernatural Universe will make special appearances, and most probably Varun Dhawan‘s Bhediya. However, it has yet to be confirmed.

The two-minute and fifty-four-second trailer balances horror and comedy like the first movie, and the visuals are commendable. Rao, Tripathi, and others seem bonkers again but eventually save everyone from ‘Sarkate ka Aatank.’

What to expect from Stree 2?

Complete and utter chaos wrapped with horror and comedy! Notable performances by the talented lot headlined by Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor. Answers to many questions arise after the shocking ending of the first part and a rollercoaster ride of fun and excellent visual experience.

Netizens’ reactions to Stree 2 Trailer-

One fan wrote, “My God ..a trailer in which I really smiled & laughed after so many years…15th Aug’24 fix for 1st day 1st show….Stree main aa raha hu.”

Another said, “Rajkumar Rao’s comedy always rocks.”

“Shraddha Kapoor + Rajkumar Rao +Pankaj Tripathi + Amar + Dinesh = blockbusters,” stated one fan.

Another chimed in with, “Stree Always Blockbuster.”

Followed by one saying, “This will be a true blockbuster. More exciting than stree 1 and I hope story will be more thrilling than part 1 as the trailer says. I will truly watch it.”

And, “OG Vibe of stree 1 is not missing and I’m very thankful for this.”

Release date & Trailer-

Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Stree 2 will hit the screens on August 15. Check out the trailer here:

Munjya Trailer Review: Leaving Behind The Stree Prequel Horror-Comedy Universe Presents Gollum Meets 'Male Chudail' Version & This Might Work Well For A Reason!
Munjya Trailer Out: Will This Gollum Meets Male Chudail Kind Of Horror Comedy Work? ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

2018 in Bollywood was the start of a brand new Universe, a universe that had something new to offer. The horror-comedy Universe that gave Rajkummar Rao the first blockbuster commercial of his career. It has been speculated for a long that a Stree prequel titled Munjya would arrive after Stree’s commercial success. 

After five years of waiting, it finally arrives, but the only twist is that this does not seem to be a prequel to Stree but is another standalone story adding another creature to this horror comedy Universe which is now being called the Supernatural Universe. Before Munjya it was Stree, Roohi & Bhediya. 

This supernatural Universe’s new creature seems heavily inspired by Lord Of The Rings’ Gollum. However, it might not be that bad for a mid-budget film that offers another fresh story from the rumored Chudail-Daayan tales from the villages of India. 

Munjya seems to be a tale of a young boy or a lad who wants to marry a girl called Munni but dies before he can fulfill his wish. In a comic turn of events, his male chudail version bumps into our protagonist, played by Abhay Verma, and his girlfriend, played by Sharvari Wagh. 

Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the trailer has funny moments throughout, and as it is presented as a film for the Gen-Z kids, it definitely seems to cater to its target audience. Supported by Mona Singh brilliantly. 

The horror Universe, since the beginning, promised to pick up folk culture stories that are a strong part of their myth meets half-baked realities. After O Stree Kal Aana’s folk tale, Dinesh Vijan’s team came up with Munjya, which was heavily inspired by folk tales of Maharashtra. 

The 2-minute 18-second teaser offers a blast of comedy in horror set up, and the film has not revealed the best horror parts in the trailer despite revealing the story, which might be a classic marketing move for a low-budget film. 

Promising all good things with its first glimpse, hope this brings back the lost glory of the horror Universe which promised a fun ride with Stree but could not live up to the expectations with Roohi and Bhediya. The trailer currently hints that the film might clearly work for two reasons – for a fresh storyline and aiming at its target audience as Gen-Z! 

Check out the trailer of the film here.

Stree Movie Review
Stree Movie Review: A Ridiculously True Phenomenon Entertainingly Told!

What’s Good: Very well written dialogues & even more amazingly performed, this makes sure there are laughs throughout, top notch performances by everyone

What’s Bad: The story has a very limited scope & this affects the narration making it repetitive after a point of time

Loo Break: Not needed because there are funny moments to hold you back

Watch or Not?: A fun time watch! Don’t keep high expectations with the story but expect some outstanding dialogues & performances

User Rating: 

Stree: For the uninitiated, it means woman in English. So, the movie ‘based on a ridiculously true phenomenon’, starts with camera panning through the narrow lanes of Chanderi. We have Chanderi ka Manish Malhotra Vicky (Rajkummar Rao), who’s a magician in the disguise of a tailor. Stree, apparently, is a ghost who comes to village during the Puja and hunts down the males in the area.

Vicky’s close buddies Bittu (Aparshakti Khurrana) and Jana (Abhishek Banerjee) get afraid of him meeting with this unknown girl who they think is Stree. But is she? Or Stree is someone else or there’s nothing but a myth. Rudra (Pankaj Tripathi) is an expert learning about the existence of Stree and helps Vicky and friends. Second half focuses on clarifying questions that are laid in first half. But throughout both the halves, one thing is common – continuous laughs.

Stree Movie Review: Script Analysis

The script of this film is like those jokes which are not very entertaining when you write them but they become funny once you get on the stage & start adding your things. To bring on this story on a big screen was a great gamble because of its very finite scope but Sumit Arora’s dialogues does the magic.

The narration dips at a point of time & things get stretched but full marks for maintaining a certain kind of happiness throughout. I loved the way how horror situations are used to make people laugh. The most innovative and laugh-provoking scenes were actually scary. The way makers churn out laughs from horror impressed me the most. Last year’s Golmaal Again was of the same genre but it didn’t utilise the ‘horror’ portion of the horredy.

Stree Movie Review: Star Performance

Rajkummar Rao, as usual, steals the show. He’s making very monotonous for us reviewers to keep praising him. With every of his movie (Not Fanney Khan) I just keep thinking the synonyms of brilliant I’ll use for him. His portrayal of Vicky required someone only like Rajkummar Rao. He underplays his innocence very well & that’s what make this performance a memorable one.

Shraddha Kapoor looks & acts beautiful. She shares a good chemistry with Rajkummar. She just dazzles up the atmosphere with her smile. Pankaj Tripathi was badly missed in first half but he owned the second half. It seems Sumit Arora wrote some dialogues especially for Pankaj because the way he delivers, it proves his ownership over them.

Aparshakti Khurrana and Abhishek Banerjee – two salient winners of the film. Aparshakti is a natural & we’re aware about it by now. Here, too, he teases the amount of talent he holds in himself. The first half belongs to Abhishek Banerjee & he was the biggest takeaway for me.

Stree Movie Review Quicker: The movie starts with camera panning in the narrow lanes of a small town where the apparent ghost Stree calls the name of a local. The simple, innocent Vicky (Rajkummar Rao), a magician tailor gets introduced with a quirky song Dil Ka Darji.

First half majorly focuses on the introduction of Stree (Shraddha Kapoor) & how some hilarious situations arises because of it. Bittu (Aparshakti Khurrana), Jana (Abhishek Banerjee) and Rudra (Pankaj Tripathi) along with Vicky (Rajkummar Rao) dominate major portions of the first half. Couple of good songs in Aao Kabhi Haveli Pe & Kamariya are weaved very well with the script as they doesn’t feel like an obstruction.

Stree Movie Review Quicker: It Makes You Scream With Laughter!

What works majorly for the film are Sumit Arora’s dialogues. Apart from being well written, the dialogues has that accent which make them sound funnier. Apart from the expected Rajkummar Rao, Abhishek Banerjee springs in an entertaining surprise. Amar Kaushik, who is making his Bollywood directorial debut with the horror-comedy film Stree, recently rightly said that it is easier for filmmakers to experiment with their first film as people are not aware of their signature style. He has experimented with a lot of things in the film.

As the film revolves around a female ghost who exists in Chanderi – a town in Madhya Pradesh. To maintain the authenticity of the story, director took the cast and crew there. With many uproarious moments in first half, it’s exciting to see what the second half has in store for us.

Stree also features, Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao and Pankaj Tripathi. It is releasing tomorrow i.e August 31. It is presented by Dinesh Vijan and a Maddock Films production in association with D2r films and Jio Studios. Stick to this space for full review.
