This week Bollywood had 2 major releases: The Rajkummar Rao-Shraddha Kapoor starrer 'Stree' and the Deols' Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se'. I decided to watch the former and so here are my thoughts the Dinesh Vijan production, "Stree" starring an unusual pair of Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor.
Leading the show is the ever-reliable Rajkummar Rao as Vicky who effortlessly pulls off the role of 'Manish Malhotra of Chanderi'. His comic timing is spot on and brilliant even better than Bareilly ki Barfi. On the other hand, Shraddha Kapoor surprises with her acting skills in this one as the mystery girl. Her chemistry with Rajkummar Rao is palpable. Adding to the fun are Aparshakti Khurana as Bittu, Abhishek Banerjee as Dana and Pankaj Tripathi as Rudra are once again amazing and brilliant. They just simply add more to this madcap ride.
Based on the ridiculously true phenomenon of Nale Ba, about a witch who knocks on the door of the houses, the writing of 'Stree' is a real triumph. In spite of having a limited scope in this tale, the ridiculous phenomenon is entertaining told through the dialogues and writing of Raj & DK(of Go Goa Gone fame). The editing is a little troublesome but does not exactly hamper the viewing for the audiences. The first half an hour takes time to build up but completely redeems itself in the thereafter. The music by Sachin Jigar is spot on and outstanding. A perfect blend of foot-tapping 'Aao Kabhi Haveli Pe' to soothing one in 'Nazar Na Lag Jaye'. There is some amazing work done here.
Overall, 'Stree' is the best movie to have released post 'Raazi' (better than 'Sanju') and surely deserves to be on your watchlist for some pure madcap fun and frolic. 'Stree' should also prove to be the game-changer for Shraddha Kapoor and as for Rajkummar Rao, he is the best. I am going with 3.75 stars for 'Stree'. The business of this movie should be around 40-50 crores being a medium budget movie.
P.S. This is rightfully the 'Stree' of your dreams!
Great..!!!👍
