Stree had its theatrical release on 31 August 2018. It received positive reviews with praise for its ingenuity, but received some criticism for its convoluted plot. With earnings of over Rs 180.76 crore against a budget of Rs 20 crore, Stree emerged as a major critical and commercial success. The film received ten nominations at the 64th Filmfare Awards, including Best Film, Best Director for Kaushik, Best Actor for Rao, and Best Supporting Actor for Tripathi and Khurrana. It won Best Debut Director for Kaushik.
