Today's video is Kamariya from the new Bollywood film Stree. It's a horror comedy based on the true story of a town called Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh, where men have started disappearing. The inspiration is also an Indian folk legend called Nale Ba. (I'd never heard of this before today; it's good to learn new things!). It's about a mysterious woman nicknamed Stree, a witch who tries to lure men out of their houses by calling their names in the voices of their relatives. (This actually reminds me of the Eastern European vampire legends where dead people where said to rise from their graves and prey on their relatives and neighbours. I can't find a direct reference online, but I'm sure there were stories where they'd try and call their family members outside to join them). Nale Ba means something like "Come Tomorrow" in Kannada and this is what people would write on their houses to prevent Stree from accomplishing her goal.
Rajkummar Rao stars as Vicky, a tailor who falls in love with a mystery woman (played by Shraddha Kapoor) who only appears during festival time. When one of his friends goes missing he decides to investigate the Nale Ba legend.
The video for Kamariya stars Moroccan-Canadian actress and dancer Nora Fatehi. The playback singers are Aastha Gill and Divya Kumar. It says it's the second video but I can't find the first one! Will update if I come across it. :)
Stree was released on 31st August. It seems like quite a good film, I'm putting it on my "To Watch" list!
