The weekend went by spreading cheer among the industry and trade as Munjya performed beyond expectations, earning over Rs. 20 crores in its first three days of release. The horror comedy genre and its connection with the exciting Maddock Supernatural Universe, which also comprises Stree (2018) and Bhediya (2022), added to its hype. Munjya’s collections have given a boost to Stree 2, which already had considerable pre-release hype. And if all goes well, the teaser of the much-awaited sequel might come out sooner than expected.

On the day Munjya was released, that is, June 7, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) passed two teasers of Stree 2. While the first teaser is 1 minute and 23 seconds long, the other promo has a run time of 1 minute and 6 seconds. Both these teasers have been awarded with a U/A certificate.

Meanwhile, it has come to light that one of these teasers will be launched by the makers on Friday, June 14. In a unique initiative, it will be shown only in cinemas showing Munjya. Interestingly, the teaser will be out this week though the release of the film is almost 2 ½ months away. This promo of Stree 2 will give an idea as to what one can expect from the film this time.

Actor Noor Malabika Das, who was a known face in web shows, was found dead in her Mumbai apartment on Thursday. Das, a former air hostess with Qatar Airways and a native of Assam, was found in a decomposed state by the Mumbai police. She was 37 years old.

Police officers, upon arrival, had to force their way into the apartment, where they found her lifeless body. There was a lack of any immediate signs of struggle or a suicide note, as reported. However, the collection of samples, including medicines and mobile phones, is expected to aid in piecing together the final moments of Das’ life.
