As a die-hard movie enthusiast who’s witnessed the golden era of Bollywood, I must say that the energy and excitement surrounding Stree 2 has transported me back to those magical days when films like Amitabh Bachchan’s classics used to fill the cinemas with whistles and hoots. The fact that this phenomenon is happening in today’s era, especially for a film like Stree 2, feels nothing short of miraculous!


Movie 2, featuring Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, and others, has been making a thunderous impact at the cinema hall. Not only is it captivating audiences, but its box office earnings are shattering numerous records. In a recent conversation, Abhishek Banerjee, who plays Jana in the film, discussed the response it’s been receiving and drew parallels to the enthusiastic cheers that Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Jawan received.

Discussing Stree 2’s overwhelming success at the box office with Bollywood Hungama, Abhishek Banerjee expressed that the experience feels akin to celebrating a festival season in movie theaters. He added that he was accustomed to hearing audiences cheer and whistle in cinemas, but had never personally witnessed it, except during films starring Amitabh Bachchan.

The actor from Bhediya expressed a sense of sadness about not being able to witness such events in theaters as they used to be. He then reminisced about last year’s magic he experienced during Shah Rukh Khan’s films, Pathaan and Jawan. “I deliberately went to watch those movies just to feel it and understand what that’s all about. And when you get to experience that for your own film, let me tell you, it’s a feeling that is truly unique.”

Multiple actors have been lavishing both the film and its cast with a great deal of acclaim, and Sunny Deol is the latest addition to this admiring group. He shared a poster of the movie on his social media platform, expressing joy as the film continues to thrive. In his post, he wrote, “Kudos to Stree 2’s team for bringing torrential rains to the box office and bravo for exhibitors! Keep moving forward.” He ended with a heart emoji.
