Bulbul : The Journey of a little innocent bride to woman of strength !!
India , the place where woman is abused where woman is expected to be opinionless , where woman is positioned as the second citizen , where woman is never the first priority , where it is not necessary for a woman to be educated , where women have to compromise and the irony is that a woman is idolised as goddess is worshipped in the temples.
There are a few movies which represent the bitter truth of the society and Bulbul is definitely one of them .
Bulbul is a story of an innocent child bride turned forcefully into the lady of manor.
The movie is set in 1881 in Bengal , when it was just a normal fact that girls were sent into marriage at a very tender age as they were thought to be nothing but burden for the family.
The movie starts with Bulbul, a little girl , getting married to an older wealthy man Indranil . She thought her life after marriage will be fun with Satya listening to his horror stories and playing with him (Satya is the youngest brother of Indranil ) but over the time the covered up lies of haveli begin to reveal themselves.
A leap of 20 years and movie shows Satya's return to the Haveli after 5 years of studying law and he sees everything has changed. The girl he left behind was totally changed and meanwhile got to know about the strange tale of Chudail ( demon woman) in the village who has killed his brother Mahendra ,who is specially abled and happens to be the twin of Indra.
The tale makes Satya curious to hunt Chudail and find what's happening around. Gradually, the story unwraps itself and shows the abuse happened with Bulbul ( Badi Bahu ) by Indra and Mahendra.
Bulbul is asked to stay silent about it by her sister in law Binodini (Choti Bahu ) who is very cunning but also deep down has a relation of sisterhood with Bulbul . She, in a strong monologue, quotes about "Badi Haveli ke Bade raaz" ( Big Mansions have bigger secrets ) .
The movie is visually very beautiful with perfect costumes .Bulbul is not about violence or about a love story. It is much more about Indian Patriarchy and women abuse .The story is about the journey of a girl beautifully innocence to a woman of commendable strength !!!
