BEST HORROR COMEDY FILM AFTER BHOOL BHULAIYAA!!
If that comment isn't enough to explain the film then i don't know what'll be...
For me Stree is worth watching as i have really enjoyed the show.Rajkumar Rao and Pankaj Tripathi again proved themselves as great actors.Though as a viewer i left theatre with so many question marks because at the end you have to use your brain and connect yourself with the story as why this happened and why that happened.But the concept is quite different and i am sure i have never seen anything like this before in bollywood. As in the thought of making a mixture of horror with comedy and then ending with a beautiful message which is actually the wow factor of the movie deserves an applause.Great work Team STREE.

One of the best Indian horror comedy movie i have ever seen.. director has justified the genre of the movie so beautifully..i must say i can watch it again.. apart from that Raj kumar rao again at his level best.. at the end it would confuse u little bit and u will discuss , and this what the director wants.. i would say 9/10. Plz watch and make a stress free moment of your life

A zany supernatural parable that is both strongly feminist and uproariously funny, Stree, Amar Kaushik's self-assured first feature, delivers shocks and laughs in equal measure. Despite its repeated to-ing and fro-ing between conflicting tones, the horror comedy glides along a firm and steady arc almost all through its runtime of two hours and a bit.
The film's fear quotient, like its comic flourishes, varies pretty wildly - in the climatic moments, it even wobbles just a touch - but the sight of fully grown men cowering in panic at the very mention of the spectral figure who gives the film its title is always hilarious, even when it tilts towards the terrifying.

The story and suspence are good.. the main male artist is very good but shrada is not able to fit in her character...the story is interesting and you expect a very good movie but a certain moment the script takes a twist and spoil the film
A very well mixture of comedy and horror. Remarkable acting of all actors. I had to close my eyes at some point in the movie. Full package of entertainment.

I watched this movie solely for its "Naale baa" reference because I grew up in that time and place where this urban legend unfolded. I remember scribbling with a chalk on my door every day to ward away the evil woman who was going to come knocking. It was partly comical and a partly scary time. This movie manages to capture that emotion accurately. The night scenes are unsettling and so are the scenes between the hero and the strange unnamed woman. The scenes of the stree are genuinely scary with very minimal use of CGI. The locations are brilliant and provide the rustic small-town backdrop that the movie needs. It is totally worth a watch.

Story :
The story is set in a small town called Chanderi in MP which is supposedly haunted by an angry female spirit which targets only men during four days of an annual religious festival held there. Whether it is actually a spirit or just an urban legend is the mystery element in the film.
Bicky (Rajkumar Rao), the protagonist is the best ladies tailor in town, one who can take measurements of ladies by just glancing at them. He and his "velha" friends Bittu (Aparshakti Khurana) and Jana (Abhishek Bannerjee) get involved in this whole mystery when Bicky meets a mysterious girl Shraddha Kapoor who only comes to Chanderi during the four days of the festival. As men start disappearing from Chanderi, it is upto these three friends along with a bumbling param gyaani Rudra (Pankaj Tripathi) to unravel the mystery.
Review: This is a unique film totally unlike usual horror flicks as it combines multiple genres like comedy, horror & dark humour which is not commonly seen. The blending of comedy in between the horror storyline is perfect and does not look outlandish. It however tones down the impact of the scary scenes. Having said that, the film has its scary moments which are the result of great visual and sound effects.
Casting: The casting is perfect with the three friends along with the bumbling Pankaj Tripathi providing most of the laughs. Shraddha Kapoor provides the mystery element to the storyline as she conveys both innocence and well as a sinister mind at play effectively. Rao and Tripathi are the scene stealers who breeze through their parts with ease. This is a film from Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films, the makers of the zombie flick Go Goa Gone and they genuinely succeed in making a different film by combining multiple genres without diluting the essence or making the film look tacky.
My Verdict : If you have liked GO Goa Gone , you will definitely like this one. 8 out of 10 from me for this ridiculously genuine attempt by Maddock films at attempting to make something different.

Not as hilarious as it is made out to be. Not even scary. A time pass movie, overrated just because of the actors who are in it!

I saw this few days back after 6 years of its release cos my daughter booked the tickets of part 2.
Honestly, the movie has terrific acting by Rajkumar Rao. He is a treat to watch. His comic timing is amazing.
The movie has ample amount of hilarious moments but the scare factor is very mild.
Pankaj Tripathi also gave a memorable performance.
The small town's narrow lanes, dimly lit alleys, etc are all reminiscent of Hammer horror movies.
Apart from scare factor, the makers didn't bother to put emphasis on the cinematography. A good horror movie needs good atmosphere.
Also there were not enuff kills. In fact nobody dies.
The twist/end was predictable.
Let's enjoy part 2 on big screen on Independence Day, God willing.
Jai Hind.

This movie had the potential to go really big. The initial concept and the performances are good. Although, the script is flat at times. There are several loose ends that the story never explains.
I got the feeling that the moral of the story is that "stree", meaning women, deserves the respect of all! There needs to be clarity.

This horror comedy has done justice to it's genre. It has some very good horror moments and very good comedy scenes. Stree is one of the best films of 2018 and Rajkumar Rao proves that he is one of thd best actor in Bollywood and people can rely on his movies as it has quality. Shradha Kapoor has also done a good job unlike her other roles. She's both charming and well acted. Hats off to Amar Kaushik as he did a very good job.
Tbh Not as good as I expected ... not really scary neither funny . Nothing special ...
