Madhuri Dixit 'loved' Stree; explains why more horror comedy films are being made

Madhuri Dixit shared her love for the horror-comedy Stree, praising its mix of humor and spookiness. She discussed Bollywood's evolving horror genre, noting shifts in storytelling and audience appeal.

During her chat with Pinkvilla, Madhuri Dixit expressed her fondness for the 2018 film Stree, the inaugural movie in the Maddock Supernatural Universe. She mentioned not having the chance to view the latest sequel to the Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao-led movie.

Madhuri said, “I've seen Stree, which I had loved. I have not seen Stree 2, but I heard it's very good, and that's why people have loved it, and it's doing well.”

Madhuri further stated, “I think horror films were made from the beginning. I remember doing 100 days, and it was not a horror, but it was more like a mystery thriller, a little bit of horror in the movie. But most of the actual horror films were made by the Ramsay Brothers, if I remember right.”

Madhuri Dixit also talked about Rajkumar Kohli's blockbuster Jaani Dushman,“There were a few films that became very successful like Jaani Dushman, which was done by Sanjeev Kumar ji. So a lot of films were made that were on the horror style side.”

Discussing the surge in horror comedy films, the actress from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 mentioned the positive trend. She highlighted the advancements in technical capabilities enabling more realistic and mysterious horror imagery, leading to increased attempts in the genre.
