New Delhi. This time on 15th August, 3 big Bollywood films were released in theatres simultaneously. Rajkumar Rao’s ‘Stree 2’, John Abraham’s ‘Veda’ and Akshay Kumar’s ‘Khel Khel Mein’. All three films are good in their own way, on one hand ‘Veda’ is an action-packed film, while ‘Khel Khel Mein’ is a comedy and ‘Stree 2’ is a horror-comedy film. Now the question arises that if all three films are good, then why did ‘Stree 2’ alone overshadow all of them in terms of earnings and why did it earn more than 300 crores worldwide within 5 days? Whereas the earnings of ‘Veda’ and ‘Khel Khel Mein’ have not even crossed 20 crores till now.
Actually, since last year we have been seeing that sequel films are doing well at the box office. Like Akshay Kumar’s ‘OMG 2’ and Sunny Deol’s film ‘Gadar 2’ released last year rocked the box office. These films earned a lot at the box office. Both the films proved to be blockbusters. ‘Stree 2’ This is also a factor. Nowadays people are liking sequels, but how much power the sequel has also matters a lot.
When I was watching ‘Stree 2’, I understood that this film will be a hit. When you sit to watch a sequel, its first part is in your mind and when the second part connects well with the first part of the film, then understand that the makers have succeeded in making the sequel. ‘Stree 2’ does not seem weaker than ‘Stree’ in any way, rather the second part is more entertaining than the first part.
The story in ‘Stree 2’ is very strong, which keeps people engaged till the climax. Apart from this, two more things in the film which seem to be attracting the audience are – the song ‘Aaj Ki Raat’ filmed on Tamanna Bhatia and the song ‘Aai Nahi’ sung by Bhojpuri singer Pawan Singh. It is very interesting to watch both these songs on the big screen. Horror-comedy is quite a trend these days. The audience is liking such films a lot.
Another thing is that people were very excited about this film. That’s why the makers showed the first show of this film from 9.30 pm on 14th August instead of 15th August. Earlier, the audience had also given their love to ‘Munjya’. ‘Munjya’ also became a hit at the box office as soon as it was released. The biggest thing is that the budget for making such films is not very high. All that is needed is a good story. I have already told you that the story of ‘Stree 2’ is fantastic. Its total budget is also said to be only 50 crores, which has earned more than 300 crores worldwide in just 5 days.
