Stree 2

Stree 2 is a decent sequel which does a good job of stitching the Maddock Supernatural Universe together and carve out the path for Vampires of Vijay Nagar, Bhediya 2 and Stree 3 over the next 2 years. The movie has its moments......some really funny but a few that dont land well and some pretty effective jump scares. The actors are as likable as they were in the first movie and the story flows well from the first part through the 2nd to the next one. Overall it is a good watch....but not as good as the first part.

The performances are good especially Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi and Abhishek Banerjee. Decent VFX and action. Some scenes and dialogs are really funny especially when delivered by these three. The cameos are pretty good. Akshay is weird, quirky and funny in his scene but didnt feel very menacing in the post credit sequence. Varun's character is well integrated in the movie and has a good entry scene but could have been utilized more effectively. His character lacks the punch and power of his first movie.

The run time of the movie is a bit long at 149 mins and would have benefited from a leaner and crisper production. The movie doesn't get boring but a tighter second half would have definitely lifted it up to the next level. If you liked Stree then you will enjoy Stree 2. However if Stree was not to your liking then Stree 2 is definitely not your cup of tea. It is a fun watch 7/10.

What stree 1st part had was that desi essence. It really came well with horror comedy genre and gave a superb movie experience. Sequel is way complex and had unnecessary masala things which harmed the franchise. With the reviews and BO collection my expectations were very high but when i got the chance to watch it I was like omg what the hell is this? This is the worest movie of the maddock horror comedy universe and i really mean it. Still i give this 6 stars because it is way better than the movies which made by bollywood nowadays. But with the brand name of Stree this is a just a typical ordinary movie..

Stree 2 was about 45 minutes too long. Stree 2 was funny in the first half of the movie. It had great call backs to the OG Stree. The actors did a really good job reviving their characters. One of the newer characters played by a famous actor felt out of place because it made the film less grounded. The characters from other films that were on the movie felt shoehorned in and not in any way organic and faithful to the world building of the film. The effects of Sarkata were pretty well done.

Compared to first Stree as an allegory, Stree 2 pales in comparison.

The climax was too drawn out and did not follow the rules of the works that it had established.

The movie in it's first half is great. Almost all the jokes land, characters are still enjoyable and pacing is also great. But the second half is paced slow for some reason and have some unnecessary scenes which the movies was better off not having. The end is also somewhat boring as it feels more like a superhero movie rather than a horror comedy. A lot of deus ex machina occurs towards the finale which somewhat feels a little out of place for how the first stree movie was made by the creators but the heart of the first film is still here and you can feel that the overall movie is made with love and respect towards the first movie and overall stree universe which creators are trying to create.

Go and watch STREE 1 again.

One of the worst movies I have seen lately, even children who came to movie stopped scaring and laughing after sometime. You can imagine how was the dedication these guys have put in cinema. Watch it in OTT if you have so much of time.

Pathetic screenplay and cringe dialogues, sometimes you laugh and sometimes you feel worse thinking that why are you watching this movie. You will just wait the movie to end.

Acting wise everyone did a good job but if you have a weak story, then nobody can save a movie.

Don't waste your valuable time and money. Please go watch something else.
