Stree 2 released on OTT: Where and how to watch Shraddha Kapoor’s blockbuster online

Stree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank, the much-awaited sequel to the 2018 hit Stree, has made an explosive impact in Bollywood by crossing the net mark of Rs 600 crore at the box office. Directed by Amar Kaushik, this horror-comedy has captivated the audience thanks to the outstanding performances of the lead actors Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor and the supporting roles of Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee and Aparshakti Khurana.

While fans were eagerly waiting for the film’s OTT release, Stree 2 has now made its digital debut on Amazon Prime Video – but there’s a catch. It is currently available on rental basis for Rs 349, giving viewers access for 48 hours once they click play. However, if you prefer to wait, you can stream the film for free from October 11, 2024, just in time for Dussehra.

Stree 2 Box Office Run

Stree 2 broke records upon its release and became the first Hindi film to enter the prestigious Rs 600-crore club within six weeks. At the end of its run, the film had grossed Rs 607.07 million in India alone and a whopping Rs 851.03 million worldwide. This remarkable achievement dethroned Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan as the highest-grossing Bollywood film in Hindi cinema, while Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 retained the top spot in viewership, largely due to its popularity in single-screen theaters and lower entry prices.

Rajkummar Rao expressed his excitement in an interview and said, “The overwhelming response to Stree 2 has exceeded our wildest expectations. We knew the film would resonate with fans, but these numbers really exceed our expectations.”

Stree 2 on Amazon Prime Video

The release of Stree 2 on Amazon Prime Video was highly anticipated, especially after its impressive box office performance. Although the film is available to rent now, subscribers will have to wait until October 11 to stream it at no additional cost. This move allows the film to continue its theatrical dominance while giving digital audiences something to look forward to.

There had previously been speculation that the film might be pushed back to October due to its strong box office performance. However, with the digital premiere now confirmed for the end of September, fans are excited to see the film on Prime Video before the holidays.

Plot and cast of Stree 2

Stree 2 picks up the narrative of its predecessor and continues the story of the city of Chanderi’s horrific encounters with supernatural forces. This time around, a headless monster is stalking the town, kidnapping women, and it’s up to Vicky (played by Rajkummar Rao) and his friends to save her community once again. Shraddha Kapoor’s enigmatic role adds extra intrigue and keeps the viewers on the edge of their seats. “Stree 2” marks the fifth installment in Maddock Films’ expanding supernatural universe, continuing the story that began with the 2018 hit “Stree.” This sequel picks up where the original left off, combining horror and comedy in an exciting new chapter. The film features a recurring cast including Rajkummar Rao, Abhishek Banerjee, Pankaj Tripathi and Aparshakti Khurana. In Stree 2, the group of friends once again face a sinister force that terrorizes the city of Chanderi while women mysteriously disappear. Together they must confront and overcome this dark entity, adding another layer of intrigue and excitement to the beloved franchise.

Director Amar Kaushik, who directed both parts, expressed his gratitude for the success of the film. “It takes a village to make a film like this and I am grateful to the entire team, including the actors and technicians, who made it possible. The response from the audience was overwhelming,” he said in a recent interview with ANI.

What’s next for the Stree franchise?

With Stree 2 set to be a blockbuster, Maddock Films has confirmed plans for a third installment in the series. The Stree universe has expanded significantly with tie-ins with films like Bhediya and Munjya, and the next chapter promises to offer even more goosebumps and thrills to fans of the genre.

As Stree 2 continues to dominate, fans can only imagine what terrifying yet hilarious adventures lie ahead in this supernatural universe.

In the meantime, viewers who missed the action in theaters can finally catch up on Stree 2 on Amazon Prime Video, either renting it now or streaming it for free in October.
