While Amar Kaushik’sStree 2 is a mega-blockbuster all across the world in Bihar it has taken a special place of pride in the public’s heart. The Bihar audiences are repeatedly returning to theatres to watch Stree 2 over and over again.
Kumar Abhishek, Cinema Manager Connplex Patna says, “It’s like a carnival inside the auditorium. People are watching Stree 2 for the third, fourth, sometimes ninth or tenth time. They know every dialogue by heart. It is crazy! We thought that the level of hysteria for moviegoers had gone down with Covid. Stree 2 has revived the fortunes of movie theatres.”

Kishan Damani, a leading Bihar distributor is happy and hopeful about the future. “Stree 2 has proved that we just need a good entertaining movie with music and not big stars to pull the audiences in. A well made sensibly budgeted entertainer always finds its way to the audiences. Never imagined Stree could do such a homogenous business. Yes, things are looking up again at the boxoffice.”
When we contacted Stree director Amar Kaushik this is what he had to say about his film’s record-breaking success in Bihar: “Main bahut khush hoon ki Bihar ki janta ko meri film pasand aayi, mere liye yeh saubhagya ki baat hai ki har prant ke logon ko film pasand aayi. Bihar mein ek apna bahut hi umda humor hai, jo mujhe bahut pasand hai, usi humour ka meri film making mein bahut bada yogdaan hai. Main aage aur koshish karunga ki Bihar ki janta ko entertain karun.”
