Bulbbul – Why Should You Watch a Feminist Tale?

Is Bulbbul the feminist horror flick we’ve all been waiting for?

Bulbbul

Bulbbul, written & directed by Anvita Dutt, stars Tripti Dimri (Bulbbul), and the two male leads (Indraneel and Satya) played by the famous Rahul Bose and Avinash Tiwary.

Bulbbul

A mysterious fable set in Bengal

The story revolves around a child bride and a murderous witch.  The young innocent Bulbbul gets married to Indraneel (a man much older than her) who lives in a big haveli. Bulbbul, however, enjoys spending time with Indraneel’s younger brother, Satya, who is the same age as her. Seeing this close companionship, Indraneel’s fragile male ego is obviously hurt, and Satya is immediately sent to London for his higher studies. In the meantime, a chudail – ‘the demon woman’ with ‘ultey pair’ is murmured for killing people in haveli.

Bulbbul

Bulbbul is a dark fantasy

It oozes suspense which is aptly depicted by the characters involved. However, we do feel that the script is slightly weak and too predictable from the on-set, but the camera work and post-production make up for it. The way scenes are beautifully shot, framed, and edited; the way the screen radiates rich, vibrant colors – reds, yellows, pinks – the viewer might feel part of a magnificent painting. Especially, the scenes of the witch swathed in shades of red crimson with a supernatural tinge will keep you hooked.

The plot exhibits a feminist depiction

The tragedy brings to light how the voice of free-spirited girls is silenced as the mores of the society expect them to play the role of obedient wives; how self-contained, independent, and outspoken women are obviously dangerous in the face of the patriarchy; and, how emotional manipulation like “Woh thoda paagal hai …par gehne milenge …chup rahena.” (He’s crazy, but you shall get the riches and luxuries, stay quiet) suppresses the tad-bit agency of women – all of which makes one wonder: if women are far from fighting such rampant ills prevalent in our society?

We rate this gripping tale at 4/5.

A must-watch for movie-night!
