The highly anticipated sequel to the 2018 hit horror comedy, Stree 2, has finally hit the theaters, and it’s already creating a buzz among fans. While the film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, and Pankaj Tripathi, reprising their roles, it’s Varun Dhawan’s cameo as Bhediya that has stolen the limelight.
Varun Dhawan’s Surprise Entry as Bhediya
In a clever crossover within the Maddock Supernatural Universe, Varun Dhawan, who played the lead role in the 2022 film Bhediya, makes a surprise appearance in Stree 2. The actor’s cameo comes at a crucial moment in the film, where his character, Bhediya, saves Shraddha Kapoor’s character, Stree, from a dangerous situation.
The scene, which has gone viral on social media, shows Bhediya arriving just in time to fend off the antagonist and protect Stree. Fans have been raving about Dhawan’s “mass entry” and have praised his action sequences and screen presence.
“Varun Dhawan’s cameo as Bhediya is the best mass entry of his career so far. The way he saved Stree was just epic,” tweeted one fan.
Clever Crossover in the Maddock Supernatural Universe
The cameo not only adds an exciting twist to the film but also strengthens the connection between the Stree and Bhediya franchises. Shraddha Kapoor had previously made a brief appearance in Bhediya, establishing a shared universe between the two films.
“The crossover between Stree and Bhediya is genius. It’s great to see these films coming together to create a larger supernatural universe,” said another fan.
Positive Reviews for Stree 2
Apart from Varun Dhawan’s cameo, Stree 2 has been receiving positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. The film has been praised for its engaging storyline, impressive performances, and seamless blend of horror and comedy.
India TV’s Aseem Sharma gave the film four out of five stars, stating, “Stree 2 is without a shadow of a doubt one of the finest films of 2024 with a perfect storyline, acting performances, and beautiful direction. The VFX in the film will also not disappoint you, and the horror scenes are going to give you nightmares for sure.”
Stiff Competition at the Box Office
Despite the positive reviews, Stree 2 faces stiff competition at the box office. The film is up against other highly anticipated releases like Akshay Kumar and Taapsee Pannu’s Khel Khel Mein and John Abraham and Sharvari Wagh’s Vedaa.
However, with its strong fan following and the added excitement of Varun Dhawan’s cameo, Stree 2 is expected to hold its own at the box office. The film’s success is also crucial for the future of the Maddock Supernatural Universe, as it sets the stage for more crossovers and collaborations between its various franchises.
Conclusion
Stree 2 has already made a mark with its clever crossover and Varun Dhawan’s impressive cameo. As fans continue to rave about the film, it remains to be seen how it performs at the box office and whether it can live up to the success of its predecessor. One thing is certain, though: the Maddock Supernatural Universe is here to stay, and fans can expect more exciting collaborations and crossovers in the future.
