Celebrating Six Years of 'Stree': A Genre-Defining Milestone

Raj & DK, the creators of 'Stree,' celebrate six years of their horror-comedy franchise. It was a turning point for their company, D2R, after facing multiple flops. A simple idea transformed into a successful film series, defying conventional norms and achieving massive box office success.

The writer duo Raj & DK, along with the producers of 'Stree,' are celebrating six years of their genre-defining horror-comedy franchise.

Raj shared an Instagram post recalling the journey, elaborating on how the story originated during a low point for their production banner, D2R, which faced consecutive flops. The inspiration struck with the line 'O Stree, Kal Aana!' leading to the idea of gender reversal in the horror genre.

Finished in just three weeks, 'Stree' was a low-budget film that defied norms and became a box office hit. The franchise now includes 'Stree 2' and has grossed over Rs 500 crore in India, cementing its status in the Maddock horror universe alongside films like 'Munjya' and 'Bhediya.'
