Halloween is typically associated with ghosts, witches, and skeletons, but one Brampton homeowner decided to add a unique, Bollywood-inspired twist to their spooky decorations. Their ‘Stree’ themed Halloween decor has taken the internet by storm, garnering praise and even recognition from the film’s creators.
The viral video showcases a saree-clad doll hanging from the ceiling, accompanied by the iconic dialogue ‘O Stree Kal Aana’ written in bold red letters. This phrase, originating from the horror-comedy film ‘Stree,’ is uttered by villagers seeking protection from a mysterious female entity. The scene, infused with both humor and a touch of fear, has resonated with audiences.
The homeowner’s creativity didn’t go unnoticed. Maddok Films, the production house behind the movie, responded with, “It’s going to be a busy Halloween for Stree!” Bhumi Rajgor, who played the role of ‘Stree’ in the film’s sequel, added a playful touch by commenting, “Main to aaj aa gai! (I have come today)”.
Netizens were equally impressed. “What an idea sirjii!” one user exclaimed. Others echoed the sentiment, with comments like “O stree raksha krna” (referencing another dialogue from the film), “This is brilliant,” and “That’s so creative.”
The combination of Bollywood charm and Halloween spookiness has struck a chord with viewers. One user remarked, “Honestly, it’s cool! People have ghosts from Hollywood as well. This one is cool, creative and relatable, I just know many people will click its pictures and smile.” Another added, “O stree kal aana aaj diwali h,” referencing the coincidence of Diwali falling on Halloween this year.
This clever and unexpected blend of cultures highlights the power of Bollywood’s global appeal. It’s a testament to the enduring impact of ‘Stree’ and its ability to spark creativity in the most unexpected of places.
