Years after Stree was defeated, Chanderi has moved on, and even honours her. But now a terrifying headless ghost called Sarkata is taking women who dare to be independent. Vicky (Rajkummar Rao), Rudra (Pankaj Tripathi), Bittu (Aparshakti Khurana) and Jana (Abhishek Banerjee) must team up again, along with the mysterious girl (Shraddha Kapoor) who returns to Chanderi.
The comedy is just as sharp as the first film, and the friends' banter is still the heart of the story. Abhishek Banerjee and Rajkummar Rao get the biggest laughs. Sarkata is an impressive villain, a giant figure stalking the town.
The film has a clear message about women's freedom and men who want to control them. It also pays off the first film's mysteries and sets up the wider Maddock universe with crowd-pleasing cameos.
It is too long, the plot is predictable and the cameos sometimes feel like advertising. But Stree 2 is an entertaining, crowd-pleasing horror comedy, and it is easy to see why audiences loved it.
