Bulbbul is a visually stunning mix of folklore, horror, and drama. The story starts strong, flows smoothly into the second act, and ends with a satisfying climax. While the themes are interesting, they don’t get explored as deeply as they could have. The pacing has some slow moments, but if you’re binging, it’s not a big issue. Predictability is there, but that’s common in movies these days. The cinematography is the film’s strongest point. The red-tinted visuals create a haunting, dreamlike atmosphere that fits the story well. Editing and framing add to the mood, making even simple moments feel intense. The CGI, however, is a weak spot. Some effects feel off and take away from the immersion rather than adding to it. Directing is solid, but some scenes could have had more impact with tighter execution. The lead performance is great, bringing depth and emotion to the role. Supporting actors do well, though some feel underused. The script works but plays it safe, missing chances to dig deeper. The score adds to the eerie vibe without being overbearing. Overall, Bulbbul is worth a watch for its visuals and atmosphere, but it doesn’t fully capitalize on its potential.
