“The JUGGERNAUT MEGA BLOCKBUSTER SUCCESS of STREE2 is not just a celebration for @maddockfilms but must be viewed as 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 a 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 !” wrote Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani director.

“The success also affirms that movies are all about the content creators ! STREE2 is all about @maddockfilms and @amarkaushik and @officialjiostudios and the writing team @nirenbhatt … their belief, talent and strategy has resulted in possibly one of the biggest sucesss stories ever !!!! HINDI CINEMA celebrates STREE2 today and as a producer and story teller I am deeply inspired!!!! Congratulations to the entire cast and crew !!!!! @shraddhakapoor @rajkummar_rao @pankajtripathi @nowitsabhi @sachinjigar @aparshakti_khurana …. Dinoo!!! Special huge hug to you!” he added.
