A Universe Expands
The “Stree” franchise has been on a roll, blending scares with big laughs. After the first movie in 2018, we saw hits like “Roohi,” “Bhediya,” and the recent “Munjya.” Then came “Stree 2” in 2024, which absolutely crushed it at the box office, making over 500 crore rupees. It became one of the biggest Hindi-language hits ever! “Choti Stree” is now ready to add another fantastic chapter to this growing movie world.
Linking to “Stree 3”
Here’s the real kicker: producer Dinesh Vijan dropped a hint that the ending of “Choti Stree” will be a huge surprise. The story, dreamt up by Amar Kaushik and Niren Bhatt, will tie directly into “Stree 3.” That means the animated film will wrap up with a live-action scene. This scene will then jump straight into the next big “Stree” film, giving us a peek into the mysterious backstory of the ghost herself. How cool is that for a connection?
Family Fun Ahead
This time, the filmmakers are really thinking about families. Shraddha Kapoor herself believes “Choti Stree” will be a joyful experience for kids and adults alike. It sounds like a perfect movie to enjoy together, creating new memories with a dash of friendly fright.
“Thama” is Also on the Way
In other Maddock Films news, the trailer for “Thama” just came out on Friday. This film stars a fantastic cast including Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal. Aditya Sarpotdar, who also directed “Munjya,” is at the helm. Mark your calendars, because “Thama” arrives in theaters on October 21.
