This 2 hour 29 minute thriller has 6.9 IMDb rating, earned Rs 880 crore, now trending on OTT, film is..,lead actors are… In the ever-evolving world of cinema, many films come and go. With every Friday release and overload of content on OTT, the audience is spoilt for choice. But among the array of options, some rare gems stand out for their fresh storyline and impeccable performance of the actors. One such similar tale is of a 2-hour-29-minute cinematic rollercoaster that kept the audience glued to the screen, making them think what's coming next. Stree 2: A Blockbuster The film that we are talking about is none other than Stree 2. This 2-hour-29-minute thriller drama features Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead. Accompanying them are powerhouse performers like Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee in crucial roles that add depth, humour, and intrigue to the plot. The film is both entertaining and has a touch of fear. What is the Plot of Stree 2? The story is set in the background of a village named Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh. The plot shows locals believe in a legend involving a mysterious spirit of a woman who appears during a specific four-day festival each year. During this time, if a woman calls a man by his name and he turns back, he disappears mysteriously. The foundation of this film is based on this haunting superstition. How Much Did Stree 2 Earn? On the other hand, RajKummar Rao, who is a tailor, falls in love with a mysterious woman who has a powerhouse, portrayed by Shraddha Kapoor. She visits the village during the same festival every year but vanishes as suddenly as she appears. Rajkumar and his friends end up thinking that Shraddha Kapoor's character is the spirit who has been troubling the villagers for years. What comes next keeps the audience hooked and guessing. Stree 2 is a blend of thrilling suspense with sharp humour. From unexpected twists and turns to a compelling plot, this film is intriguing and leaves people curious. The first sequel of Stree was released seven years ago, which was a critical and commercial success. Made on a humble budget, it earned Rs. 180 crore. Seeing the great response, the makers came with a sequel in 2024, which also turned out to be a blockbuster, earning Rs 880 crore. Where Can You Watch It? Garnering a massive collection at the box office, this blockbuster is also now available on Disney+ Hotstar and Amazon Prime Video. It has an IMDb rating of 6.9, and its popularity continues to grow as more viewers discover the film. From a compelling storyline, romance to comedy, this wholesome film is a must-watch.

'Drishyam 3' first draft finished; Jeethu Joseph pens climax under pressure - 'I had been under a lot of tension'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Filmmaker Jeethu Joseph has revealed that he has finally completed writing the climax of the first draft for 'Drishyam 3', the highly anticipated third installment in the hit thriller franchise starring Mohanlal . Speaking at the inauguration of the Film and Drama Club at Nirmala College, Muvattupuzha, Jeethu shared how emotionally taxing the process had been for him. Yesterday, I finally felt that relief 'Last night, I wrote and completed the climax of 'Drishyam 3'. The first draft is now done. I had been under a lot of tension all this while,' he admitted. Juggling multiple projects — including Mirage with Asif Ali and Valathuvashathe Kallan — Jeethu said he would wake up at 3:30 AM daily to write, despite being physically and mentally drained. 'Yesterday, I finally felt that relief. While music played at the college, my mind wandered through 'Drishyam 1', 'Drishyam 2', and now 'Drishyam 3'. That was such a powerful feeling,' he said, clearly emotional. Shoot set to start in October With the first draft ready, the team is gearing up to begin the shooting of 'Drishyam 3' in October. Expectations are sky-high, as the earlier two parts became modern classics, earning widespread acclaim for their gripping narrative and Mohanlal's iconic performance as Georgekutty. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo Fans have been waiting eagerly to know how the story progresses in this final chapter.

Dismissing the idea, he said in an interview that it's not practical to shoot all versions at once. However, he confirmed that the producers are exploring a simultaneous release in multiple languages. 'Once I complete the script, I'll share it with the respective teams so they can adapt it as they did with the earlier films,' Jeethu explained. He reaffirmed that while changes may be made to suit each region's context, the core story remains his — just like in 'Drishyam 1' and 2.
