The film 'Stree' is set in a small town called Chanderi, where the residents have a belief that a mysterious woman abducts men leaving behind their clothes. Despite the gritty situation that the film is based on, it delivers several punches and critics have appreciated the comic timing. The film revolves around the ghost called 'Stree' haunting the town, who snatches men, during a four-day festival each year, and leaves their clothes behind. The director has taken the unbeaten path of mixing horror with humour juxtaposing each scary scene with a funny moment to lighten the mood. Along with Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, the film stars Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Banerjee, and Vijay Raaz.
