Stree (2018) is a Hindi-language horror-comedy film directed by Amar Kaushik. Set in the small town of Chanderi, the story follows the mysterious disappearance of men during the annual festival of “Navratri.” The town is haunted by a spirit named “Stree,” who targets men at night, only leaving behind their clothes. As the legend of Stree grows, a local tailor, Vicky, teams up with his friends and a paranormal expert to unravel the mystery. With a mix of humor, suspense, and supernatural elements, the film explores themes of fear, folklore, and the strength of women.

As Vicky becomes romantically involved with a woman named Shraddha, who has a connection to the ghostly figure, the film plays with the tension between romance and horror. Stree cleverly blends laughs with scares, often using the ghost story as a metaphor for the fear and respect women command in society. With an engaging plot and memorable performances, particularly by Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, Stree combines a compelling narrative with social commentary, making it a unique take on the horror-comedy genre.
