Stree Review

Stree is surprisingly one of the best and most interesting movies to have released so far this year. From the trailers one could gather that it is in the Horror Comedy genre and when the film released it managed to both scare and make the audience laugh at the same time.

Stree has a very interesting storyline which is not seen in most of the movies. This interesting story with good and funny dialogues is what makes this movie great to watch. Add to that superb acting performances from most of the cast and you have a winner in your hands. Stree moves at a fast pace in both the first half and post interval parts and unlike most other horror movies it has a very interesting ending. The ending of the movie has primed it up for a sequel and lets hope they come up with an equally interesting and enjoyable sequel. What is also surprising is the use of memes in the movie. Two of them are spectacular - the usage of Mission Impossible theme with indian instruments and Rajkumar Rao acting like Shah Rukh Khan when asked to show love to the ghost. These things have been done very well and don't feel out of place.

Rajkumar Rao is a terrific actor and he shows once again why he is rated as a very good actor. He has enacted the role perfectly and I don't think anyone else could have done it better than him. Shraddha Kapoor is good in her role. Aparshakti Khurrana and Pankaj Tripathi are also superb in their roles. This movie has been taken to another level by the actors and thus everyone deserves credit.

Amar Kaushik has brought the story and the script of the movie to life in best way possible and deserves all the credit for the movie. He seems to be a director who can nake good films with small budgets and thus waiting to see what he makes next.

The songs in this movie are not very great but have been superbly woven into the plot and echo the movies mood. Thus after watching the movie you start to hum these songs. This happens most of the times for good movies and it has happened for this movie as well. The background music is also done very well as it heightens the horror element.

Overall this is a movie which wasn't expected to be so good but turned out to be spectacular. So evertone should go ahead and watch this unique movie which frightens you and makes you laugh at the same time.

Rating - 4 / 5
