Stree 2 Twitter Review: Sarkate Ka Aatank, directed by Amar Kaushik, stars Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee, and Aparshakti Khurana. This sequel to Stree (2018) is the fourth installment in the Maddock Supernatural Universe. Released in theaters on August 15, 2024, the film picks up after the events of Stree, with the small town of Chanderi now terrorised by a headless creature that is abducting women. The town faces a new wave of fear as this sinister entity strikes again. Bicky, Janna, Bittu, and Rudra come together once more to confront and overcome the malevolent force.
Stree 2 picks up from the events of the first film, unveiling a new threat in Chanderi—Sarkata, a headless entity targeting women who have adopted modern lifestyles. The narrative takes a personal twist when Bittu, played by Aparshakti Khurana, finds his girlfriend, Chitti, among Sarkata’s victims. Pankaj Tripathi’s character, Rudra, receives a letter containing missing pages from the Chanderi Puraan. Armed with this crucial information, Bicky (Rajkummar Rao), Bittu, and Jana (Abhishek Banerjee) embark on a quest to find and vanquish Sarkata, with help from Shraddha Kapoor’s character, who remains unnamed in this installment.
Written by Niren Bhatt and produced by Maddock Films and Jio Studios, Stree 2 is the fourth film in the Maddock Supernatural Universe and a sequel to Stree (2018). Early reviews describe the film as a blockbuster, praising the comedic chemistry between Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. The actress is celebrated as a female superstar for her performance, contributing to the film’s success as a laughter riot. A user wrote, "#Stree2 4/5 stars ... A Perfect Sequel more hilarious & more scary than first part #Stree ... A Perfect blend of Horror along Comedy + Chartbuster songs & Suprising Cameos."
Another added, "What an amazing performance by @ShraddhaKapoor, Raj Kumar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana & Abhishek Banerjee in #Stree2 ... Loved this horror comedy and thriller.. Entertaining, binding and yet thought provoking." A third comment read, "#stree2 is mostly good as it tries to address the growing toxic (religion-laced) masculinity & resurgence of patriarchal norms that are literally & figuratively snatching away women & the spaces that they occupy. the 1st half is great & that interval block slaps. but then..."
