The much-awaited "Stree 2" has finally hit the screens, and the reviews from movie enthusiasts are pouring in. While Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor have been praised for their performances, Akshay Kumar has garnered special attention for his role. Released on Independence Day 2024, audiences had the choice between two major films this long weekend—"Stree 2" and "Khel Khel Mein." The former is a sequel to the 2018 hit horror-comedy "Stree," featuring Rao and Kapoor, while the latter marks Akshay Kumar’s return to comedy after a five-year hiatus.
Both films have managed to impress the viewers on their release day, but Akshay Kumar seems to have emerged as the ultimate star. Besides being lauded for his flawless comedic timing in "Khel Khel Mein," Akshay is also receiving widespread appreciation for his cameo as ‘Baap’ in "Stree 2." Yes, you read that right!
Just Saw the movie.

Fans who caught the first-day screenings of "Stree 2" have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts. The sequel appears to have surpassed the high expectations set by its predecessor six years ago. Social media users are calling the film a total "paisa vasool" experience and are even comparing Akshay Kumar to Thanos, the infamous Marvel supervillain. For instance, one Twitter user posted, "I watched #Stree2. I love the screenplay and how they connected with #Bhediya. #VarunDhawan's screen time is great. Now we’d love to see a supervillain like Thanos in the form of #AkshayKumar. #RajkummarRao, #PankajTripathi, #ShraddhaKapoor, and #Vicky, please."
