Stree 2 is a decent sequel which does a good job of stitching the Maddock Supernatural Universe together and carve out the path for Vampires of Vijay Nagar, Bhediya 2 and Stree 3 over the next 2 years. The movie has its moments......some really funny but a few that dont land well and some pretty effective jump scares. The actors are as likable as they were in the first movie and the story flows well from the first part through the 2nd to the next one. Overall it is a good watch....but not as good as the first part.
The performances are good especially Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi and Abhishek Banerjee. Decent VFX and action. Some scenes and dialogs are really funny especially when delivered by these three. The cameos are pretty good. Akshay is weird, quirky and funny in his scene but didnt feel very menacing in the post credit sequence. Varun's character is well integrated in the movie and has a good entry scene but could have been utilized more effectively. His character lacks the punch and power of his first movie.
The run time of the movie is a bit long at 149 mins and would have benefited from a leaner and crisper production. The movie doesn't get boring but a tighter second half would have definitely lifted it up to the next level. If you liked Stree then you will enjoy Stree 2. However if Stree was not to your liking then Stree 2 is definitely not your cup of tea. It is a fun watch 7/10.
