Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor’s much-anticipated film *Stree 2* is set to expand its reach by making its debut on OTT platforms, allowing audiences to enjoy the supernatural comedy-horror from the comfort of their homes. Over the past 42 days, the film has made waves at the box office, grossing an astonishing approximately ₹580 crore in India, thereby solidifying its status as the highest-grossing Hindi film ever. Its success can be attributed not only to the star power of its leads but also to a well-executed blend of humor and horror that has resonated with audiences across the country.
Directed by Amar Kaushik, *Stree 2* has benefitted from a favorable release environment, enjoying a continuous run in theaters with minimal competition from other major films. Its box office performance has been impressive, and the film continues to draw in viewers eager to experience its unique storyline. As it still plays in theaters, audiences now have the added option of watching it on Amazon Prime Video, further broadening its accessibility.
However, there is a catch for those eager to catch the sequel online. While the original *Stree* is available for streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, *Stree 2* will require viewers to rent the film on Amazon Prime Video. A standard Prime Video subscription will not suffice; instead, viewers will need to pay a rental fee of ₹349. This rental arrangement allows users 30 days to initiate their viewing, and once they start watching, they have a 48-hour window to finish the film. This model may encourage audiences to commit to watching the film in one sitting to maximize their experience.
As *Stree 2* edges closer to potentially becoming the highest-grossing film of all time, it remains just shy of overtaking the monumental earnings of *Jawan*, another blockbuster that has captivated audiences nationwide. The film's robust box office performance is largely due to the lack of significant competition in September, as there have been no major releases to divert attention away from *Stree 2*. However, this status is set to change soon, as it faces impending competition from the much-anticipated *Devara: Part 1*, featuring popular stars Jr NTR, Saif Ali Khan, and Janhvi Kapoor, which is scheduled to release on September 27.
The buzz surrounding *Stree 2* continues to grow, with audiences eagerly awaiting both its theatrical continuation and its streaming premiere. The film's unique blend of supernatural elements, humor, and cultural references has not only entertained audiences but also sparked discussions around its themes and character portrayals. Fans of the franchise are particularly excited to see how the sequel expands on the narrative of the original, bringing back beloved characters while introducing new twists and developments.
As viewers prepare to rent *Stree 2* on Amazon Prime Video, many are hopeful that the film will maintain its momentum, captivating both existing fans and new audiences alike. This release marks an important moment for the film as it navigates the transition from theaters to home viewing, ensuring that its unique story continues to reach a wide audience. The future of *Stree 2* remains bright, with the potential to set new benchmarks in the Hindi film industry.
