Karan Johar took to social media on Tuesday to heap praises on the recently released horror-comedy Stree 2. He wrote a long post about the film’s success, calling it a "mega blockbuster". Directed by Amar Kaushik, Stree 2 stars Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana and Abhishek Banerjee.

Karan shared a poster of the film on Instagram and wrote, “The Juggernaut Mega Blockbuster success of Stree 2 is not just a celebration for Maddock Films, but must be viewed as a celebration of Hindi cinema and Indian mainstream cinema. In the past few years, Hindi cinema has been under scrutiny for combatting box office challenges. The post-pandemic audience has been evolving and many times difficult to assess but the mega success of Stree 2 has not only validated the strength of solid storytelling and rooted content but also affirmed that humongous conviction, bravado and focus on concept, story and a deep rooted connect with an audience will pay rich dividends at the ticket window!”

He added, “The success also affirms that movies are all about the content creators! Stree 2 is all about Maddock Films, Amar Kaushik and Jio Studios and the writing team Niren Bhatt. Their belief, talent and strategy have resulted in possibly one of the biggest success stories ever. Hindi cinema celebrates Stree 2 today and as a producer and storyteller I am deeply inspired! Congratulations, to the entire cast and crew”

Despite releasing along with two other films-- Vedaa and Khel Khel Mein--owing to the Independence Day weekend, Stree 2 has performed exceptionally well in theatres. According to Sacnilk.com, the film crossed Rs 200 crore and its India Net collection stands at Rs 228.45 crore. It opened at a whooping Rs 51.8 crore on August 15 and continued to grow over the long weekend.
