After a span of twenty years, Satya returns home from his time in London.

Review

Bulbbul, the recent Indian original released on Netflix, falls short of expectations. In a more sophisticated production, the protagonist, Mrs. Bulbbul Chaudhary (played by Tripti Dimri from Laila Majnu), could have been a captivating antagonist. Throughout Bulbbul, she is adorned in stunning sarees and jewelry, exuding an aura of elegance.

Reception

Bulbbul was met with a predominantly positive response from both critics and audiences, who lauded various aspects of the film. One particular highlight was its strong stance on feminism, which resonated with viewers.
