Stree 2: Twinkle Khanna praises Rajkummar Rao-Shraddha Kapoor's movie and also highlights growing rape cases in India, 'Horror movie contains less unsettling components'
Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Stree 2 released in theatres on August 15. The movie received rave reviews from critics and the audience alike. Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film is a sequel to the superhit Stree and also stars Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee. Several celebrities, like Karan Johar, Sunny Deol, Kangana Ranaut, etc. have also praised the movie. Twinkle Khanna has talked about it in her latest column.
Twinkle Khanna has not only praised the movie but also highlighted the growing number of rape cases in India. In her column, the former actress mentions how women are safer from ghosts than men in a dark alley. Twinkle gave the example of the doctor rape case in Kolkata, which shocked the nation to its core. "Horror movies, though, seem to contain less unsettling components than the scary things we see every day around us," reads a line in her post.
To our entertainment news readers, we'd like to inform that Stree 2 is a horror comedy. Twinkle Khanna argues that there is no scientific evidence to confirm the existence of ghosts. However, she believes the simplest explanation for their existence would be that they come from the human need to personify abstract patterns. In her post, Twinkle also discusses the sexual abuse of two four-year-old girls in Badlapur and the brutal murder of a 14-year-old girl from Bihar for refusing to marry a man who already has three children.
The author concludes her post by mentioning, 'I suppose it is safer for the strees of this country to encounter a ghost in a dark alley than a man."
