For some, fear is comedy anyway; nonetheless audiences stepping into a theatre, seeking a former, and returning with carrying perceived a latter, are customarily not a same. Stree is a horror-comedy. But some-more literally so; in a clarity that a scenes scarcely swap between a dual genres.
At one finish this is a film about a garland of hilariously ‘theth’, country dudes in a desi tiny town, going about their easygoing ways over things that relates to a young, regardless of where they’re from—love, sex, dhokha, etc.

On a other hand, we curiously follow what happens to folks in a fabulous community as a bad suggestion creates her annual visit, preying on immature boys, in particular. There is a spoiler of sorts (if we may) embedded utterly early on in a script, given that there is a immature womanlike caller (Shraddha Kapoor) in this town, descending for a hero—a super-talented ladies’ tailor (“Bhagwan ka darji-roop avatar”), who can literally distance adult a woman, merely looking during her several earthy dimensions.

Rajkummar Rao, in comprehensive tip form, plays this partial to nearby perfection, adding nonetheless another facet to his filmography that is substantially as, if not some-more heterogeneous than any of his contemporaries’. To be fair, Rao done his entrance in a lead purpose with a (relatively run-of-the-mill) fear film, Ragini MMS (2010).
This is of march vastly opposite as a genre-bender. Which is utterly simply a aberration that draws we towards a film first. Not that we haven’t seen Hindi horror-comedies before, even if ‘horrex’—mixing fear with sex—has been a some-more normal regulation to get bums on grind-house seats.
Bhoot Bangla (1965)—with a iconic, Mehmood-RD Burman song/scene, ‘Main bhookha hoon’—could good have been a initial Hindi horror-com. You customarily have to lay by Naanu Ki Jaanu (with Abhay Deol), from progressing this year, to get a clarity of how this horror, comedy combo can be such a sleazy slope.

Watch a trailer here: 

The filmmakers here, magnificently clever on craft, lift it off quickly though, alighting many of a punches (including punch-lines) during a right place. Directors Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, popularly known/credited as RajDK have created this script. If you’ve followed their films—which includes a Saif Ali Khan zombie comedy Go Goa Gone (2013)—you’ll know them as slickly amiable directors, with really apparent American-indie sensibilities.

This has a heavily Hindi-heartland setting. The film weaves in even romance, song, and dance into a horror-com plot. Which substantially explains because they might have brought in a talented, first-time director Amar Kaushik (best famous for a award-winning short, Aaba), discourse author Sumit Aroraa, to take a book forward. Both supplement most sorcery to a material. As does a implausible garb cast—Pankaj Tripathi (Rao’s Newton co-star), in particular.

That’s for a set-up. What about a pay-off? I’m not certain if it’s half as good. But hey, I’m customarily articulate about a end. Up until then, we giggle during a humour, and get amply spooked out, when it’s ostensible to be horror. As opposite a other approach round. That’s already observant a lot for an unobtrusive genre that customarily promises such little, anyway.
