Chanderi is a town haunted by a local legend: a woman—Stree—who appears during the annual festival and abducts men, leaving only their clothes behind.

Stree is an inventive, heartfelt film that entertains while nudging the audience to reflect. It’s a welcome addition to Hindi cinema—a movie that’s funny, spooky, and smarter than it first appears.
