With every Friday release and overload of content on OTT, the audience is spoilt for choice.

One such similar tale is of a 2-hour-29-minute cinematic rollercoaster that kept the audience glued to the screen, making them think what's coming next. Stree 2: A Blockbuster The film that we are talking about is none other than Stree 2. This 2-hour-29-minute thriller drama features Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead. Accompanying them are powerhouse performers like Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee in crucial roles that add depth, humour, and intrigue to the plot. The film is both entertaining and has a touch of fear. What is the Plot of Stree 2? The story is set in the background of a village named Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh. The plot shows locals believe in a legend involving a mysterious spirit of a woman who appears during a specific four-day festival each year. During this time, if a woman calls a man by his name and he turns back, he disappears mysteriously. The foundation of this film is based on this haunting superstition. How Much Did Stree 2 Earn? On the other hand, RajKummar Rao, who is a tailor, falls in love with a mysterious woman who has a powerhouse, portrayed by Shraddha Kapoor. She visits the village during the same festival every year but vanishes as suddenly as she appears. Rajkumar and his friends end up thinking that Shraddha Kapoor's character is the spirit who has been troubling the villagers for years. What comes next keeps the audience hooked and guessing. Stree 2 is a blend of thrilling suspense with sharp humour. From unexpected twists and turns to a compelling plot, this film is intriguing and leaves people curious. The first sequel of Stree was released seven years ago, which was a critical and commercial success. Made on a humble budget, it earned Rs. 180 crore. Seeing the great response, the makers came with a sequel in 2024, which also turned out to be a blockbuster, earning Rs 880 crore. Where Can You Watch It? Garnering a massive collection at the box office, this blockbuster is also now available on Disney+ Hotstar and Amazon Prime Video. It has an IMDb rating of 6.9, and its popularity continues to grow as more viewers discover the film. From a compelling storyline, romance to comedy, this wholesome film is a must-watch.

‘ColdplayGate' explained: How a ‘kiss cam' moment at Coldplay concert thrust Astronomer CEO Andy Byron into viral chaos
The Internet can be a chaotic place, and sometimes, all it takes is one unexpected moment to thrust someone into viral fame, whether they like it or not. That's exactly what happened to Andy Byron, CEO of tech firm Astronomer, during a Coldplay concert in Boston. Byron was attending the show at Gillette Stadium with Kristin Cabot, the company's Chief People Officer, when they suddenly found themselves on the arena's famous 'kiss cam.' What unfolded next had social media in a frenzy. As the camera panned to the pair, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin playfully teased the moment: 'Oh, look at these two.' But instead of basking in the momentary glory, like normal concert goes do, the executives looked flustered. Byron immediately ducked out of the shot, while Cabot buried her face in her hands and turned away. That's when Martin said, 'Oh, what… either they're having an affair or they're very shy.' Naturally, the clip exploded online. But what added fuel to the fire was a key detail people quickly pointed out: Andy Byron is married, his wife is Megan Kerrigan Byron. The awkward few seconds have now turned into a full-blown internet spectacle, and the reactions have been pouring in since. Coldplay accidentally exposed an alleged affair between Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his colleague Kristin Cabot at one of their recent concerts. — Pop Base (@PopBase) July 17, 2025 Someone in the crowd managed to film the whole incident on their phone, and once the clip was uploaded, it spread like wildfire. From meme accounts to media companies, and even Elon Musk, everyone saw it, and everyone reacted to it. Andy Byron, who took over as CEO and director of Astronomer in 2023, is facing renewed scrutiny after a viral incident brought his past back into the spotlight. Before joining Astronomer, Byron held senior roles in the cybersecurity space — he was president at Lacework between 2019 and 2022, later serving briefly as an advisor, and prior to that, he led Cybereason's sales efforts as Chief Revenue Officer from 2017 to 2019. But beyond his impressive résumé, former colleagues have painted a less flattering picture, calling him a 'toxic boss.' The controversy has reignited group chats and message threads among his old teams, many of whom didn't hold back. 'The text groups and chains of former employees are like… everybody's laughing their a** off and enjoying the hell out of what happened and him getting exposed,' a former direct report told The New York Post. Byron's wife, Megan Kerrigan, was also unintentionally pulled into the mess. After the video blew up online, strangers began flooding her social media. Her Facebook — once filled with personal family moments — became a target for comments, leading her to first drop her last name and eventually shut down the page entirely. She also deleted her Instagram account, according to The New York Post. Astronomer CEO Andy Byron's wife removes his last name from her Facebook profile, following viral video of his alleged affair with colleague Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay concert. — Pop Base (@PopBase) July 17, 2025 Kristin Cabot came on board as Chief People Officer at Astronomer in 2024, and shortly after joining, she took to social media to commend Byron and the leadership team for their vision and support. Byron, in turn, welcomed her with high praise in the official announcement, calling her 'exceptional' and noting that her 'deep expertise in talent management' made her an ideal match for the company's evolving goals. Also referred to as 'Coldplaygate' already, the situation has taken over social media, with countless posts, theories, and speculations about the duo. Elon Musk couldn't resist reacting to a viral post about Byron and Cabot, dropping a laughing emoji in response. 😂 — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 17, 2025 Meanwhile, Astronomer has stayed silent on the matter so far. But Ry Walker, the company's co-founder and former CEO, made it clear he has nothing to do with the situation anymore. On X, he clarified, 'For those asking – I'm no longer involved in @astronomerio… not on the team or board since 2022, and have no information on ColdplayGate.' For those asking – I'm no longer involved in @astronomerio – yes I was co-founder and early CEO – not on the team or board since 2022, and have no information on ColdplayGate — Ry Walker (@rywalker) July 17, 2025 Putting the spotlight away from the headliners for a moment—Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin reportedly had quite the awkward night interacting with fans, if one X user's account is anything to go by. A man named Wade shared that his wife was at the show, and according to her, Martin spent a good chunk of the evening double-checking if couples featured on the big screen were, in fact, actually dating. My wife was at this show & she said after this happened, Chris Martin asked every couple that appeared on the screen if they were actually together for the rest of the night. Super messy 😂 — WADE 🏀 (@Its_Wade) July 17, 2025 At one point, she told him, a couple held up a sign revealing they'd just gotten engaged. Martin invited them on stage to celebrate, but not before he, in Wade's words, 'made sure they were engaged to each other first.' Meanwhile, Byron has disabled commenting on his LinkedIn post. There is no official confirmation about a relationship between Byron and Cabot, other than the one they share professionally. Byron and Cabot are yet to address the controversy.

Speaking at the inauguration of the Film and Drama Club at Nirmala College, Muvattupuzha, Jeethu shared how emotionally taxing the process had been for him. Yesterday, I finally felt that relief 'Last night, I wrote and completed the climax of 'Drishyam 3'. The first draft is now done. I had been under a lot of tension all this while,' he admitted. Juggling multiple projects — including Mirage with Asif Ali and Valathuvashathe Kallan — Jeethu said he would wake up at 3:30 AM daily to write, despite being physically and mentally drained. 'Yesterday, I finally felt that relief. While music played at the college, my mind wandered through 'Drishyam 1', 'Drishyam 2', and now 'Drishyam 3'. That was such a powerful feeling,' he said, clearly emotional. Shoot set to start in October With the first draft ready, the team is gearing up to begin the shooting of 'Drishyam 3' in October. Expectations are sky-high, as the earlier two parts became modern classics, earning widespread acclaim for their gripping narrative and Mohanlal's iconic performance as Georgekutty. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo Fans have been waiting eagerly to know how the story progresses in this final chapter.

Dismissing the idea, he said in an interview that it's not practical to shoot all versions at once. However, he confirmed that the producers are exploring a simultaneous release in multiple languages. 'Once I complete the script, I'll share it with the respective teams so they can adapt it as they did with the earlier films,' Jeethu explained. He reaffirmed that while changes may be made to suit each region's context, the core story remains his — just like in 'Drishyam 1' and 2.
