For me Stree is worth watching as i have really enjoyed the show.Rajkumar Rao and Pankaj Tripathi again proved themselves as great actors.Though as a viewer i left theatre with so many question marks because at the end you have to use your brain and connect yourself with the story as why this happened and why that happened.But the concept is quite different and i am sure i have never seen anything like this before in bollywood. As in the thought of making a mixture of horror with comedy and then ending with a beautiful message which is actually the wow factor of the movie deserves an applause.Great work Team STREE.
BEST HORROR COMEDY FILM AFTER BHOOL BHULAIYAA!!
If that comment isn't enough to explain the film then i don't know what'll be...
A zany supernatural parable that is both strongly feminist and uproariously funny, Stree, Amar Kaushik's self-assured first feature, delivers shocks and laughs in equal measure. Despite its repeated to-ing and fro-ing between conflicting tones, the horror comedy glides along a firm and steady arc almost all through its runtime of two hours and a bit.
The film's fear quotient, like its comic flourishes, varies pretty wildly - in the climatic moments, it even wobbles just a touch - but the sight of fully grown men cowering in panic at the very mention of the spectral figure who gives the film its title is always hilarious, even when it tilts towards the terrifying.

The story and suspence are good.. the main male artist is very good but shrada is not able to fit in her character...the story is interesting and you expect a very good movie but a certain moment the script takes a twist and spoil the film
I watched this movie solely for its "Naale baa" reference because I grew up in that time and place where this urban legend unfolded. I remember scribbling with a chalk on my door every day to ward away the evil woman who was going to come knocking. It was partly comical and a partly scary time. This movie manages to capture that emotion accurately. The night scenes are unsettling and so are the scenes between the hero and the strange unnamed woman. The scenes of the stree are genuinely scary with very minimal use of CGI. The locations are brilliant and provide the rustic small-town backdrop that the movie needs. It is totally worth a watch.
