I am so spellbound after watching this movie. It has laughter, sarcasm, genuine emotional scenes. This film has a strong social message also. This is the best film of the year.😊❤️

It's really an amazing film. I really enjoyed it from the core of my heart.

It's a nice movie....Vidyut is amazing.. everyone should watch it.

Anvita Dutt's debut film "BULBBUL" is a new addition to the realm of Hindi cinema with an incredible aura. It is a supernatural drama. It is another film produced by Anushka Sharma like her previous film "PARI" of the same genre. The film is set in the late 19th Century pre-independent Bengal. It exhibits us the wretchedness of female folks in our patriarchal society. At the beginning of the film when the little girl was getting married she asks her aunt about the toe rings she is wearing and her aunt told her that it is the symbol of control by male folks. Then she asks what is control. That is the beginning of thought-provoking occurrences through the angle of feminism. The visual presentation of the film with red ambiance and the big mansion, Bengali culture, mango grove, traditional Bengali dresses remind us of "Devdas", "Lootera" and "Parineeta" and many more. But in this time it is presented through the lens of Horror story. Although it's lil bit cliche to us to see a 'Chudail' or woman as 'demon' because we are quite familiar with these. But here it is portrayed from a different perspective. Here the woman demon is the reincarnation of Goddess Kali. The film beautifully challenges the stereotypical society's biased attitude towards women. A girl child is considered to be an unwanted thing in our society without any individuality or importance. We witness the sufferings of women by the worst male figures of patriarchal society. A woman is just like a caged bird in the jail of four walls named family or home. It also challenges the concept of the situation when a female is tortured by her cruel husband and she has to be silent because she is her property. There is a dialogue in the film " Your husband is a little insane...but you will be adorned in jewels..keep quiet (woh thoda Pagal hain ..par gehne milenge ..chup rahena). " It is also not true that all men are bad but the film satirizes those men folks who consider their female companions just like playthings and nothing else. While watching the film I start remembering Kamala Das' poem 'The Seven Ages of Woman'. In that poem, she presents the painful and cyclical life of a woman. Although the plot is lil bit predictive the VFX, flashbacks, natural scenery, colourful red background, and music help to create an eerie atmosphere in the film which will keep you engaging in the story. The performances of Tripti Dimri, Paoli Dam, Avinash Tiwari, Rahul Bose, and Parambrata Chatterjee are praiseworthy. If you liked "Tumbbad" then this one will also be another good film. The plot could have been presented in a much more thrilling angle but according to me, it's a worth watching film.

Awesome movie...it is the portrayal of seclusion and isolation. One can relate with this film. It's a deep study of loneliness. The performance of Kaushik Ganguly is really amazing.
