Bulbbul

“Bulbbul is fashioned as a sharply relevant fable. It is a powerfully feminist, revisionist tale of a woman wronged, and it is told with economy, precision, style and feeling.”

“Tripti Dimri is the winner of this Anushka Sharma produced film that had potential to be a mini-series.”

“Overall, it's a fantastic debut for Anvita Dutt. Bulbbul feels like it's been directed by an experienced hand and not a newbie. The film deserved a big-screen release and we hope it gets one in the future.”

“There's more to Bulbbul than meets the eye, as it condemns the culture of silence that women are subjected to.”

“Actually, the film hugely impresses, despite an underutilised Avinash Tiwary, for the first few minutes, but then it slowly eases its grip over the audience which keeps looking for a thicker plot but gets only the most likely outcomes. Despite being only 94-minute long, Bulbbul seems stretched and repetitive.”

“Anushka Sharma's debut Netflix production bores you stiff before reaching a predictable end”

“Bulbbul is aspiring to be more than a horror drama and that’s the most appreciable thing about this movie.”

“Anvita Dutt does something similar but adds to the locale. She mixes the feudal with the supernatural and the spooky, the mythological and the fablesque to strike at the putrid core of patriarchy in a thoughtful, moving, engaging and powerful manner.”

“Over-directed but underwritten, Bulbbul is a visually striking film that is let down by a weak script. Because the characters are so thinly written and the surprises so carelessly telegraphed, Dutt's film is forced to rely more heavily on technical details.”

“Bulbbul combines what appear to be Anushka Sharma's two primary interests – feminism and the paranormal.”
