17 Facts About Bulbbul

Bulbbul is a 2020 Indian Hindi-language supernatural thriller, written and directed by Anvita Dutt.

Bulbbul is married off to Indranil, the Bado Thakur, when she is barely five years old.

Bulbbul is close with Satya, Indranil's youngest brother, who is closer to her age.

Meanwhile, Bulbbul is informed by a village boy, whose family previously visited the estate to discuss the matter of his father's second marriage, that his mother had committed suicide after her husband chose his second wife over her, causing Bulbbul to seek the man out.

However, following this, there is a supernatural change in Bulbbul — she comes back with a mission to help the women in the village fight back against injustice.
