A small town tailor falls in love with a woman who visits his town for four days. And men are abducted by a ghost called Stree during those 4 days. That's when it gets hilarious. What is supposed to be scary turns a laughter riots. Rajkumar Rao is magic in his role as a tailor.
But this movie in its own way holds the flag of feminism, Indian Cinema is unaware of. This movie will make you think about gender equality in a very subtle way. The small town that is being shown somehow talks to each one of us. It's a wonderful film, with a lot of heart and ghosts that drives home a point, that women and equality matters.
My personal favourite is that scene where men are locked at home and women go out because Stree abducts men. On the surface it looks hilarious and weird, because men always had the streets for themselves. But on the other hand it tells us very gently that this is how women had to stay for centuries, which is unfair.
It's a must watch movie of our times!
