[twirls hair] i love it when women kill abusive men
I feel like this movie deserves more praise because honestly it was brilliant. Yeah it was predictable.... but wasn’t that the point?? I mean I don’t think we can really say much about that when most, nearly all, of Indian cinema is predictable and frankly kinda misogynistic. So watching bulbbul was just nice because though some parts were a bit rushed it still got to the point and was pretty well done. I love Indian film but I guess I liked this movie so much because it’s so different to the conventional Bollywood movies. Oh and the cinematography could actually have not been done better, so red it’s fantastic.
why is being "predictable" demonised when this film literally builds the story beautifully, displays a spectrum of masculinities, makes bold cinemetic choices and is so?? pretty???
Badi Haweliyon Mein Bade Raaz Hote Hain...
Chup Rehna...
A good kinda romantic horror mystery. Tripti did outstanding, her beautiful smile makes scenes look more beautiful. Avinash, Parambrata, Paoli Dam & Rahul Bose also done well.
Anvita did very well in her directorial debut. It feels like how simple a story can be presented in a very beautiful et dak way, throughout provoking.
1920 movie kinda feel.
Technically brilliant, but the movie is just fine.
It just has a touch of horror, but it is an emotional drama.
A decent watch.
Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault, Domestic Abuse
First off my expectations for this movie were astronomically high. Things I'm interested in include early 20th century Bengal, folktales, Laila-Majnu (2018), the feminist films produced by Clean Slate Films (I haven't seen Phillauri but I love Pari and NH10) and this movie seemed to include all of this so naturally my expectations ballooned up and exited the stratosphere.
If you go into this movie thinking that it is a horror film then you will be disappointed. This is not a horror film but an origin story. In a lot of ways this movie reminds me of Pari though simpler and not as ambitious which is not necessarily a deterrent. The object of horror…
