Bulbbul Review.

Bulbbul is a supernatural thriller available on netflix. For the overview bulbbul is haunting tale about a witch. A tale about how a innocent little girl go through so many horrendous things in her life and how her life takes unexpected turns. We can describe bulbbul as a haunting story that will leave you shocked after watching. Everything about bulbbul is beautiful and terrifying. First of all it is not a typical horror movie, bulbbul is a unconventional fairy tail.
We all have heard stories about fairies and evils. Now consider the fairy from stories came into the real world where humans are no less evil. Bulbbul does not use any jumpscares to make viewers slip off from their seats, instead of that it uses haunting music which chases you and play with your mind throughout the runtime, and also the story is the real element of horror. The story engulf you into it and make you seriously terrified from the inside. Again if you are watching bulbbul thinking it is a horror movie and you will get a intensely horror experience then no, the horror part is all about the story and execution. Bulbbul is ultimately a tale of fear, pain and suffering. 

Storyline-.   (Spoilers ahead)
               The story starts as a 10 years old girl bulbbul getting married. The story is set in 1800. As per her believe she was going to get married to a boy named Satya but in turn of events she got married to a adult mab, who is satya's brother. Because of their age Satya and bulbbul became best friends. But this thing bothers her husband and he send Satya to study law abroad. What happens after that is the story of bulbbul. After 5 years of this event Satya returns and finds bulbbul grown up and abandoned by her husband. And also finds something wacky going on in the village due to the mysterious deaths. 

Bulbbul has a compelling story but it lacks somewhere down the road. The cinematography is brilliant and the film truly is so beautiful. The lighting, makeup and sets should be appreciated. The acting by the entire cast is brilliant. Tripti dimri in the role of bulbbul has her essence all over the film. Paoli dam is truly underrated, her small role of binodini was remarkable. Avinash Tiwari in the role of Satya and Rahul das in the role of indranil were brilliant. Indeed the cast has performed very well. Now there are also some underwhelming points about bulbbul. The direction, for most of the time the direction feels good but sometimes it just goes sloppy. The story of the film is great and the execution for most of the part was brilliant. But there is a time where you just feel that the story is being stretched a bit. Like the 1.30 hr film feels long. 

Final thoughts-  Beautiful, intense but problematic and and flawed.

Filmanion rating - 6.5/10

Aarya Review.

One of the most anticipated web series of this year i.e Aarya is now streaming on Disney+ Hotstar. I was looking forward to the show since the moment I saw the trailer. And if you haven't seen it yet, go now and watch it. It was a thrilling experience, witnessing the comeback of Sushmita Sen, and oh my god what a comeback she made totally hands down it was one of the best performance of Sushmita Sen's career.  Aarya is a crime thriller limited series by Hotstar. It is a remake of a Dutch webseries penoza. And some people are ranting about it, but we should focus on the quality content they are providing. Despite being a remake Aarya has its own style of telling a compelling story. Storytelling was amazing, the thrill that starts from first episode stays with us till the final episode. Aarya is a story of a mafia family. The wife of a mafia didn't know about his business until he get shot by a rival. Then after him the wife takeover the business and during that how she faces...

Pareeksha movie review

 Must give this Pareeksha! The film is titled Pareeksha is inspired by a real life story. The story is about children in a Naxal affected area in Bihar.( Here shown in Ranchi, Zarkhand) A former Bihar Director general of police, Abhay Anand had once narrated his tryst with the filmmaker where present were a bunch of underprivileged but talented kids.He  would spot a bunch of kids whose intelligence used to bowl him out. So, he started chatting with them and asking questions, and encouraged them to come for special coaching, which he arranged in the town. Some of them were so intelligent that they qualified for engineering colleges.  Prakash Jha tells this simple but inspirational story here. The amazing actors Adil Hussain , Priyanka Bose ,Sanjay Suri and  Shubham Jha as Bulbulkumar make it so real that immediately you get connected with all of them and it touches your heart and brain simultaneously. Its the best film ever made on  Education for everyone but the...
