Stree 2 opened in theatres on August 15 facing fierce competition from John Abraham's Vedaa, and Akshay Kumar's Khel Khel Mein.
In his review for NDTV, Saibal Chatterjee gave Stree 2 2.5 stars out of 5. He said, “No matter how unbelievable things tend to get in Stree 2, the audience is supposed to take it all in their stride and believe that such things can transpire during the days of a major religious festival that culminates in a “maha puja” in Chanderi's temple and its fairground. This is after all a horror film set in a central Indian small town steeped in history, mythology and folklore where it should be only natural to let scepticism take a break.”
