Synopsis
What is 'Stree' all about?
'Stree' is based on 'ridiculously true phenomenon'. The story revolves around a 1990's legend from Bengaluru about a witch who used to hunt for its prey - men, to be exact.
The witch abducted men and left their clothes behind, giving birth to the legend 'Nale Ba'.
This movie follows the same story, with tons of humor and horror, of course!
