The highly anticipated sequel, Stree 2, starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, has taken the Indian box office by storm since its release on August 15. The film, following up on the success of the 2018 horror-comedy Stree, has made an impressive opening, earning ₹54.35 crore on its first day. This remarkable start has outpaced other releases on the same date and even eclipsed the performance of many previous films released on this holiday.
Ranbir Kapoor’s Unexpected Connection in Stree 2
One of the most talked-about aspects of Stree 2 is the surprising connection to Ranbir Kapoor. The film cleverly incorporates references to some of Ranbir’s most iconic movies, bringing a sense of nostalgia and humor to the audience.
Nods to ‘Rockstar’ and ‘Animal’
In one of the scenes, a dialogue from Ranbir Kapoor’s hit film Rockstar is humorously referenced: “Pata hai… yahan se bahut door, galat aur sahi ke paar, ek maidan hai, main wahan milunga tujhe.” This line, delivered in Stree 2, immediately caught the audience’s attention, evoking memories of Ranbir’s intense performance in Rockstar.
Additionally, the mid-credit scene includes a line that hints at Varun Dhawan’s character from another film, Bhediya: “Tu bhediya hai, animal mat ban.” This reference not only nods to Varun’s role but also teases a potential crossover with Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming film Animal, creating buzz and excitement among fans.
Ranbir’s ‘Channa Mereya’ Adds Emotional Touch
As if the dialogues weren’t enough, the film also features Ranbir Kapoor’s popular song “Channa Mereya” from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The inclusion of this emotional track adds depth and charm to Stree 2, making it a treat for Ranbir’s fans.
Cameos and Future Connections
Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2 doesn’t stop at Ranbir Kapoor. The film also features a cameo by Akshay Kumar, hinting that he might play a role in future horror-comedy films within the Maddock Universe. This crossover potential has left audiences eager for what’s next.
Stree 2 has not only lived up to the expectations set by its predecessor but has also added new layers of excitement with its clever references and surprising connections to Bollywood’s biggest stars.
