Stree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank (transl. Woman 2: Terror of the Headless) is a 2024 Indian Hindi-language comedy horror film directed by Amar Kaushik, written by Niren Bhatt, and produced jointly by Maddock Films and Jio Studios. It is the fifth installment in the Maddock Supernatural Universe and serves as the sequel to Stree (2018). The film stars Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee and Aparshakti Khurana.[7] The narrative follows a group of friends who must defeat a malevolent entity abducting the women of Chanderi.
Kaushik first expressed interest in developing a sequel to Stree in October 2018. By February 2022, Rao confirmed that the project was in development; however, original writers and producers Raj & DK were no longer involved, having parted ways with producer Dinesh Vijan over disputes regarding the rights to the franchise. As a result, Bhatt took over as the writer. The sequel was officially announced by Vijan and Jyoti Deshpande in April 2023. Principal photography began in July of the same year, primarily taking place in Chanderi and Bihar, and concluded by mid-2024. The film features a musical score composed by Sachin–Jigar, with additional scoring by Justin Varghese. Cinematography was conducted by Jishnu Bhattacharjee, and the editing was handled by Hemanti Sarkar.
Stree 2 was theatrically released worldwide on 15 August 2024 and received positive reviews from critics. The film has grossed over ₹830.76 crore (US$100 million) worldwide, emerging as the second highest-grossing Indian film and the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2024, as well as the seventh highest-grossing Hindi film and the eleventh highest-grossing Indian film of all time.[6][8]
