It is going to be a long and crowded weekend for Hindi cinema with three major releases set to open on the Independence Day and experts hope it helps “Stree 2”, “Vedaa” and “Khel Khel Mein” do good business at the box office, with fears of affecting each other’s collections notwithstanding.
“Stree 2” is the much awaited sequel to the 2018 hit horror comedy “Stree”, starring Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor and Pankaj Tripathi, while “Vedaa” features John Abraham and Sharvari.
Superstar Akshay Kumar, who has often released patriotic and social dramas on August 15, an important date in the industry calendar for movie releases, is coming to theatres with thriller comedy “Khel Khel Mein”.
All these movies are vying for the audience’s attention on a five-day weekend, as August 19 will be celebrated as Raksha Bandhan, but “Stree 2” seems to be a clear favourite to open well, according to trade experts.
“As a viewer, my first choice without doubt would be ‘Stree 2’. I loved the first part and I’m really looking forward to the second part. The film is looking good. My second choice is going to be ‘Vedaa’, the trailer really hooked me on. The film has a very strong emotional current.
