What happens

Roohi is a 2021 Indian Hindi-language comedy horror film directed by Hardik Mehta and produced by Dinesh Vijan under the banner Maddock Films. It tells the story of a ghost who abducts brides on their honeymoons. The film stars Rajkummar Rao, Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Sharma. It was announced on 29 March 2019 and filming kicked off on 14 June 2019 in Agra. The film was set to release in June 2020, but the COVID-19 pandemic in India interrupted production. Roohi was theatrically released in India on 11 March 2021. The film received negative reviews and was affected by post-COVID business conditions, earning about ₹30 crore at the box office against a production budget of ₹20 crore. Originally promoted as a spiritual spinoff to Stree (2018), the film was formally excluded from the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe before being mentioned in an Easter Egg reference in the third official instalment of the franchise, Munjya (2024).
