Stree 2 generated good buzz before it had the best opening ever for a Hindi film, according to the producers, Maddock Films. Announcing that the film made ₹76.5 crore gross in India on its opening day, including the paid premieres, the production house wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Stree 2 creates HISTORY! India's highest Day 1 Box office ever! Thank you audience for all the love.” They also shared a poster with the film’s cast on it, writing, “India’s highest day 1 box office ever!”

Stree 2 shows how Sarkata terrorises the people of Chanderi, who now look to Stree for help. The film is also sprinkled with starry cameos, which the makers have carefully kept under wraps. Varun Dhawan reprises his role as Bhediya, even featuring in a song with Shraddha. Tamannaah Bhatia features in the song Aaj Ki Raat.
