Stree 2

Vampire Owl: What do you know about this particular demon?

Vampire Bat: I can say nothing because I did not see the first part.

Vampire Owl: There are no demons that you do not know.

Vampire Bat: There are witches that I do not know.

Vampire Owl: This one has a witch at the centre, that too a good-looking one?

Vampire Bat: There is a lot of magic in here, and for that, we can use witches.

Vampire Owl: Magic and monsters are not always related.

Vampire Bat: You are talking about the monsters of science.

Vampire Owl: We have left that one with Alien Romulus. Even with the possibility of advanced necromancy.

Vampire Bat: Science has the bigger monsters, especially of this age. The demons from outer space could make an entry

Vampire Owl: The vampires of science are also there.

Vampire Bat: Vampires will never be related to science. They are exact opposites, like the white and black witches from the other side.

Vampire Owl: Dr. Frankenstein has made sure about that with his research which has no parallel in this world or the other including the shadow world.

Vampire Bat: Well, we do not need to go back to that pseudo doctor.

Vampire Owl: You earlier called Mr. Frankenstein a pseudo scientist.

Vampire Bat: I cannot wait to see that man being thrown out of laboratory.

Vampire Owl: You continue to be disrespectful to him, despite the great inventions which he has made for our people instead of those evil humans.

Vampire Bat: I do not have a reason not to be so.

Vampire Owl: Well, you will soon find his greatest invention above your head.

Vampire Bat: What would that be? A cap? A hat? A cloud of blood?

Vampire Owl: You will know soon enough after watching this movie.

Vampire Bat: This is our first movie in any Forum Mall.

Vampire Owl: And the newest Forum Mall which seems to be the best-looking shopping mall in the whole area.

Vampire Bat: Well, we have finally found the time. We were too busy to live in the last few months, but this time, we are all prepared to watch an interesting movie in one of the best multiplexes in the city right now. The fate has played well to bring us help.

[Gets a box with cheese popcorn and three chocolates and moves into theatre].

Vampire Owl: The strength of folktale is displayed so well.

Vampire Bat: The horror elements have blended nicely with the comedy.

Vampire Owl: Unlike Romancham, this is really a horror comedy.

Vampire Bat: Some elements seem forced, but seem to work even then.

Vampire Owl: Folktale has no limits, I would say, as we have seen where it has gained followers.

Vampire Bat: The original tale providing inspiration seems to be from Karnataka.

Vampire Owl: Yet, there are changes, and those seem to work well too.

Vampire Bat: Rajkummar Rao is indeed the actor to look out for yet again.

Vampire Owl: And Shraddha Kapoor blends in really well.

Vampire Bat: Among the next generation of actresses, she is indeed the best.

Vampire Owl: Pankaj Tripathi adds to the funny side really well, and some of the best moments seem to come from his side.

Vampire Bat: The supporting cast of Abhishek Banerjee and Aparshakti Khurana works well too, especially with the humour.

Vampire Owl: This universe seems to be interesting like the one which has reached Leo.

Vampire Bat: Yet, we understand everything without having watched the first movie.

Vampire Owl: The tale of the headless ghost sounds like something we know.

Vampire Bat: We remember Sleepy Hollow, but that one had the headless horseman.

Vampire Owl: Well, we can always be headless in our journeys like being fangless.

Vampire Bat: Vampires die without their heads, and a stake is not always a necessity.

Vampire Owl: Oh! I almost ended up donating mine to a noble cause.

Vampire Bat: You are one strange vampire, aren’t you?

Vampire Owl: Not as strange as the unexpected werewolf in this movie.

Vampire Bat: They are our immortal enemies, but is on the good side in this movie.

Vampire Owl: That was one extra cameo which seemed to be added just for the universe.

Vampire Bat: The terror feels real, and the addition of humour only makes things better. The ending seems to have the scope to offer more with a possible sequel.

Vampire Owl: So much of supernatural makes me feel better.

Vampire Bat: There were still times when this one could have had those grand moments.

Vampire Owl: The ending also feels too usual for our taste.

Vampire Bat: The final moments have us so close to inferno which seems to be the final terrifying destination to remember.

Vampire Owl: There is no hell that matches the basement of the castle. The area which burns like no other in a world of chaos.

Vampire Bat: We use that area for frying our chicken, and molten lava has been added in the last few years to bring more heat.

Vampire Owl: You mean there are Vampire Chicken? They have been present here all the time?

Vampire Bat: No, there is no immortal chicken yet. There have been applications, but none has been accepted yet by Uncle Dracula.

Vampire Owl: It is a good thing. Otherwise, Chicken Biryani would suffer in all territories, and there would be no great food towards infinity.

Vampire Bat: Shraddha Kapoor makes the favourite demon, that much I can assure you for now.

[Disappears into the darkness of the day with bats bringing the cover, as a feeling of night seems to come in].

This is the YouTube video with the fifth film review there. The video reviews have had the focus by attracting more viewers, and tries to make interesting comments about the selected movies. The writing will also go on through its path, but the visual side also has its say more than ever, as the YouTube channel “Scholar Nomads” intends to explore more areas of interest. For both blog and vlog, there will be film reviews and even more to be seen with new styles.
