So, so and so.
From the trailer which looks promising for its genre is fantastically crafted, whatever the content of the movie be. The mix of comedy and horror is nothing new in this Bollywood; something that we see every next year every next director making a movie on it. Nevertheless, most of the movies either end up being 'a comedy which is horror', or 'a horror that is a comedy'. Bollywood has always been lacking a recipe for perfect horror comedy movie (not to mention our horror movie is no less than a lame joke); most of the movie lacks the balance between this two -pure horror or pure comedy or both. Although the movie 'Stree' looks promising with talented actor Rajkumar Rao in a role of Vicky tailor(most probably) of Chanderi village and Shraddha Kapoor as his ghosty girlfriend.
Trailer analysis :
First thing first. As we have been told 'Mard ko dard Hoga' in the movie and that it is ridiculously based on the true phenomenon -that phenomenon is The legend of Nala ba about a witch who knocks on people's doors at night. The person to respond to her call will be killed within the next 24 hours.
Although the legend story is taken as a base as per our belief the movie is loosely based on thAT legend; like; about the witch who knocks at the door and the village people who in a manner to escape from her ,in actual incident used to write Nala ba(which is a Malayalam word meaning 'come tomorrow') to fool her.
From the trailer, we can interpret that the myth of 'Stree' has prevailed from the ages but she only visits the village during the festival and that only for four days.
The movie is balanced between the love story of Vicky and his girlfriend whose act seems creepy as described by his friends.
Story prediction :
Although the movie is based on the urban legend Nala ba, we believe it is only based on concept wise nothing else. The movie must start with a myth in the village getting stronger every year during the festival that the 'Stree' will be visiting them for she is hungry for love (as hinted in the trailer). It is when we will be introduced to Vicky (maybe a tailor or some nearer profession) who is having a hard time finding love for he is strange and innocent. Then the festival arrives and the preparation against the 'stree' takes the toll. Like love at sight, Vicky meets shraddha and falls for her while her strange behavior, sudden, and disappearance makes people believe she must be the ghost. This can be the probable reason why Vicky sets his team against the ghost to fight. Isn't?
probably. although in my version certain loose ends remain to be loose, like Wiki's page showing Shraddha Kapoor' character's name as 'stree'. Plus the trailer makes firm hints that the 'stree' in the hood is none other than Shraddha Kapoor's character.
Whatever be it, very soon it's going to unfold in nearest cinemas.
And yes, we at spillreview do believe Shraddha is not the real 'Stree'. What do you say?
