SPOOKY SEQUEL
As a cinephile who has spent countless hours immersed in the rich tapestry of Indian cinema, I must say that “Stree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank” is a sequel I am genuinely excited about. The original “Stree” was a refreshing blend of horror, comedy, and local folklore, and it’s intriguing to see how the story will unfold in its second installment.
“Stree 2: Sarkate’s Terror,” Amar Kaushik‘s follow-up to his 2018 horror-comedy sensation “Stree,” is rapidly approaching the list of the largest Indian blockbusters of the year. This production is a joint effort between Maddock Films and billionaire Mukesh Ambani‘s Jio Studios. The film was unveiled on India’s Independence Day, which also served as a public holiday (Aug. 15). By Sunday, four days after its release, it had amassed $33.7 million, surpassing the lifetime earnings of “Stree” which stood at $21.5 million.
The movie “Stree,” located in the tranquil town of Chanderi, revolves around the terror caused by a malignant spirit named Stree, who steals men under cover of night. This film was penned by the creative duo Raj & DK along with Sumit Arora, inspired by the age-old legend “Naale Ba” from Karnataka, southern India. In the sequel, “Stree 2,” Chanderi is once more plagued. This time, a dreadful headless apparition is kidnapping women instead. As before, the heroes must step up to protect their town and those dear to them.
The principal actors in both films are led by Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee. “Stree 2” is the newest addition to Maddock’s Supernatural Saga, a series that kicked off with “Stree”, continued with “Roohi” in 2021, “Bhediya” in 2022, and “Munjya” set for release in 2024.
INFLAMMATORY INFLUENCERS
BBC Factual has revealed a one-hour documentary titled “America’s Emerging Female Voice” for both BBC Three and iPlayer. This production, handled by Mindhouse Productions, delves into the expanding group of young women who create provocative content on the internet.
27-year-old British journalist Layla Wright journeys from Liverpool to various locations within the U.S., encountering influential figures with conservative views. This documentary delves into the motivations behind women, including some as young as 16 years old, who are promoting a movement aimed at rolling back progressive policies.
Wright expressed his desire to connect with the young women who had been appearing frequently on his social media timeline, posting content that grew more provocative over time. These were females similar in age to him, boasting large online followings who appeared to yearn for a time when women possessed fewer rights. It was surprising to Wright how unreservedly controversial they were, and although they resided only a flight away, the viewpoints they advocated seemed completely foreign compared to those of his friends back home.
The documentary was funded by Fiona Campbell and Jack Bootle, and the commissioning editors were Tom Coveney and Anna Dickeson from BBC. The executive producers are Arron Fellows and Nancy Strang at Mindhouse, while Alana McVerry takes charge of directing and production.
Wright, who’s currently the resident creator at Mindhouse Productions, has collaborated with the company’s co-founder and creative chief, Louis Theroux, since the year 2022. This upcoming documentary is scheduled to be broadcast on September 2, and it will be available for viewing on BBC Three and iPlayer.
