Redditors have noticed striking similarities between the poster of the upcoming Bollywood movie Stree 2 and Stranger Things season two. From the color scheme, the layout, the arrangement, and the expressions of the characters on the posters, all these elements appear to be extremely similar. Sharing the same sentiment, one Redditor made a post with both the posters side by side and simply asked, “Inspired or copied?” You can check out the post, and both the posters, here below.
As you can see, just like the poster of Stranger Things 2, Stree 2 follows the same color scheme of a blue background in the lower half, and orange background in the upper half, with the title spelled out in red. The cast is placed in the form of a pyramid, with Rajkummar Rao at the top, the supporting cast – Abhishek Banerjee, Aparshakti Khurana, and Pankaj Tripathi – below him, and Shraddha Kapoor at the center of the bottom row. Some of their expressions are also similar to the cast of Stranger Things on the season two poster.
Some Redditors agreed with the user’s observations. One of them commented, “This isn’t the first time they (Bollywood) copied a cover for a popular show/movie.” Another wrote, “The pinnacle of ‘You can copy my homework.
Just don't make it look too obvious,’ type of excuse.” “What Bollywood does best, to be honest. Copying,” read a third comment, while another stated, “There are a couple differences, but yeah, you can see that there is a striking similarity.

But also Stranger Things posters aren’t original either; they are nods to film posters from the 80s.” Another claimed, “The show didn't create that art style.” Some also said that every other poster looks similar these days.
“Dude, one out of three movie posters look like that now.” A post shared by Maddock Films (@maddockfilms) “Stranger Things didn't create the half blue, half red, floating faces poster design, it’s probably one of the most unoriginal poster designs in modern cinema,” read another comment. Another Redditor agreed with this observation and commented, “This is pretty much the cover of a thousand ‘urban fantasy novels’ on Amazon now.
