Giving 4.5 stars to the film Taran Adarsh describes the film in one word ‘BLOCKBUSTER’. Stree 2 as a well-balanced horror-comedy with top-notch performances, strong direction, and an outstanding soundtrack, setting high expectations for Stree 3.

Abhishek from Times of India awarded Stree 2 4 stars. He noted that the film lives up to first Stree, with strong performances by the cast, though Shraddha Kapoor's character feels somewhat underwhelming. The movie is packed with laughs and hits all the right notes for a horror-comedy, delivering ample entertainment. Amar Kaushik shines once again in his direction.

Simran of Times Now gave the film 4 stars, praising the strong performances from the entire cast, with no weak links. Director Amar Kaushik delivers exactly what’s expected, with no surprises there. While Stree 2 has a few flaws, the cameos (spoiler alert) work in the film's favour. Overall, it’s a full-fledged entertainer with the perfect blend of laughter and scares.
