The premise
Set in the town of Chanderi, Stree is based on the urban legend of Nale Ba that went viral in Karnataka in the 1990s, and features Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao in pivotal roles.
Horror Vault's take
In the bustling small town of Chanderi, men vanish without a trace during a festival season, leaving only their clothes behind — and a chilling local legend may hold the only explanation. Rajkummar Rao plays a tailor whose romantic entanglement gets tangled up in ancient myth and mounting paranoia. Drawing from a real viral urban legend that gripped Karnataka in the 1990s, Stree blends sharp comedy with genuine supernatural dread in ways that feel both fresh and deeply rooted in Indian folklore. The result is a crowd-pleasing horror-comedy that never lets you forget something genuinely unsettling lurks just beyond the laughter.
