With Munjya and Stree 2 generating buzz recently, the horror-comedy genre has seemed to become the flavour of the season. With Bollywood’s unique ability to blend different genres, horror-comedy has emerged to be quite popular, taking over the Hindi cinema. From shape-shifting Bhediya to mythological Brahmarakshas, Bollywood doesn’t leave a chance to offer us a delightful mix of laughter and spine-tingling moments.
3 Folklore-Inspired Indian Horror-Comedy Films
If you are looking for movies that make you scream with laughter, then these folklore horror-comedy films are a must-watch.
Stree 2
IMDb Rating: 7.7/10
A few years after the events of the first part, the peaceful life in Chanderi is disrupted by a sinister force called Sarkata, a headless monster. As certain women start disappearing from the village, Vicky (Rajkummar Rao) has to again step up as the life-saviour of the town along with Shraddha Kapoor to defeat the dangerous monster and make us tickle with laughter in the process. Stree 2 has done justice to the comedic standards set by its first instalment. Rao has given a commendable performance as usual with his comic timing on point, while Aparshakti Khurrana, Pankaj Tripathi, and Abhishek Banerjee added to the overall fun.
