Review of Stree

Stree is a rather interesting film. The plot of this movie revolves around a female ghost who hunts and abducts men during the first four days of the Navaratri. The Navaratri is a nine day festival signifying good defeating evil. I must admit that I'm not familiar with Navaratri and I'm not sure if the first four days actually holds a significance in relation to this "haunting". My ignorance about the festival did not hinder my ability to enjoy this film.

I don't want to give any spoilers so I'll just give my opinions about what I did and did not like. The movie is filmed well. I think the setting was perfect, the actors gave great performances and the scripting was decent. There was great music, some funny moments and even a few good dances.

My dislikes are few. Like I stated, I'm not sure why this is set around this particular festival and it was never explained in the film. The pace seemed to drag along at times and it seemed to have taken a long time before you learned much about "Stree". When her story was explained it seemed a little vague. I don't understand what she did with the men she would abduct despite knowing the reason why she was targeting men. There were a couple of things that happen at the end I didn't fully understand. It really felt like a setup for a sequel.

I liked this though. I'm glad I watched it and if there is a sequel, I'll be waiting to watch it. Check it out.
