Film review of the latest hindi release: Stree


Stree.. Though the title gives the impression of a serious film, it's anything but that..... a comedy with a dash of horror in it or vice-versa...you take your pick........Either way, this is a delightful little hindi film and it is,  to quote my favourite reviewer Rajeev Masand, one of the most original films of the year.......... about a lady ghost who torments a town in northern India every year during navaratri festival and abducts men, leaving only their clothes behind and how few town folks  fight it.......but the plot is a mere subtext....This film is about  an assortment of interesting characters and how, brilliant actors like Rajkumar Rao and Pankaj Tripathi, bring to life everyday scenes and dialogues and take it to a different level.....watch the scene where Rajkumar has to look at the ghost with love or when Tripathi tries to run away while pretending to be brave........Shraddha Kapoor looks pretty and does a decent job while being at it..... the peppy soundtrack is good while it lasts...not intrusive and not memorable........All in all, this is a stree you should take time out to watch and for once, the ladies won't be offended with your transgression.
