Reviews were mixed, but the film found an audience, and its songs were popular.
7. Stree (2018)
Set in Chanderi, a town haunted by a female spirit during a yearly festival, Stree mixes fear with comedy. Shraddha plays a mysterious girl with no name who seems to know more about the ghost than she reveals. Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi and Aparshakti Khurana lead the comedy.
